carbonwerks.com will charge 1200 for the mold and materials, then 400 per hood. a group buy would get rid of the mold costs.... if 6 ppl bought, could be made for 600 a hood. and that covers all costs, only problem is who gets the mold?


that's not horribly expensive, but could probably be done cheaper.

You also gotta remember that we'd need to to throw Tru a little profit as insentive, not to mention S&H. He's not going to go through all that shipping and stuff just to be nice to a bunch of strangers.

Tru, congrats on the NICE hood! I assure you that the other two were just joking around a bit. Least they had better be, as a number of people really wanted this hood. I hope you can see through to allowing someone on the forums to make a copy of it. ;)

What kind of luck is this. Someone on the forum actually bought the hood. Thank God!!! As said before I am already set-up to have the hood reproduced. Please get in touch with me if you would so we can work something out for you so you at least have a hood while this is being done. PLEASE PM ME ASAP. There is some work to be done to make this hood not need the hood pins. Having the actual hood to make the mold from makes this a much easier task. Please Pm me.

ptrudel 08-10-2004 12:04 PM

thats soo cool that u got it...i'd so wanna jump in on this if i had the cash...if this was next year, i'd definately jump in on this

OpalaAlero 08-10-2004 12:19 PM

Is anyone close to Grand Rapids that can pick it up from him, and trade theirs maybe in the mean time?

Tru 08-10-2004 12:43 PM

yeh, i guess a pick up would be the easiest...we'll see, gotta talk to gregg still...

as for a replacement hood, i can still use my original one...its a lil bashed up, but still works fine...juss looks ghetto :D

javlin 08-10-2004 12:55 PM

i hope this all works out i would like a CF hood in the future :smokin:

jamcllw 08-10-2004 01:08 PM

I'd buy one if it was paintable and used the stock mounting holes and latch. I just don't like the look of carbon fiber but I do like the cowl induction look.

Pimpalero03 08-10-2004 01:16 PM

i cant wait! i hope this works out.. cowl induction hood that is sweet. hey tru. im a michigander too. lol

I believe it's paintable...as for using the stock stuff...the hood attaches right on to the stock hinges and latch. The only thing is u have to change the stock hyrdolics that hold the hood up. The stock ones are about 1/2" to 1" too long to work with the cf hood. u can attach them, but then the hood cant close...i tired :wacko: lol...*edit* i mean tried haha

i'll see if i can get a pic later today

Voodosoup 08-10-2004 05:43 PM

If this gets going, I'd be in for a copy. I've still got my money laying around from the group buy that fell through last fall.

|Rev| 08-10-2004 06:32 PM

I want a copy!! man we are lucky someone on the boards got the hood, keep us updated, I sooo want a copy

derek21 08-10-2004 06:56 PM

i like how everyone assumes this guy is gonna give up his new hood to have copies made. if i would have bought it i wouldnt do it

if you would have read his post you'd see that nobody is assuming anything. he bought it and realized that alot of people want it and is cool with trying to get it copied....

derek21 08-10-2004 07:17 PM

i did read the posts. you might want to re-read them. ppl saying "i'd be in for a copy" before he even says anything about letting someone use it to get copies made. poor guy.

well after re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reading all the posts.................one can come to this conclusion.............

Greg and Tru are working something out so he can get a mold of it.

People are letting whoever does get a mold made for copies, the interest that would be for the hood.

Tru is will to work with us and we appreciate it greatly.



Now enough of this bickering between each other over how some one interupts these posts.


Back on Topic.

Anymore useless post will be deleted............period.

Redog 08-10-2004 07:30 PM

Might be intreseted but still unsure at this point

The CF hood looks good on a white car, but i dunno how it will look on red :unsure:

smokinAMD 08-10-2004 07:49 PM

Anyways, did you try adjusting the hood lifts? They twist so you can make them longer and shorter.
