carbon fiber hood

Maybe it is just the picture, but it looks like it doesn't fit right. The drivers side looks like it isn't flush.

yes, it may not look flush, but we are getting whole new hoods made with a ss scoop, should fit and look better if you like the ss style like i do.....

If it fits right and looks like the one in Pimp's picture it should look tight. Just waiting on the price.

Count me out now...lots of better things to do to my car right now than dropping a grand for a custom hood. good luck to all and keep posted on how things go.

^^Well, import CF hoods can be found for 400 something bux these days. When customcargrills (I think) was offeriing them for us, it was for 600 or so bux. I doubt it'll be as high as 1000 bux.

Dangit, i was just about to change it b4 anyone read it. Well, too late now :rolleyes:. 800 is asking alot. That's almost the price of the OSV kit.

When I saw the post I was like "HELL YEA" But the price....eh not that much available funds now. Seems about right but way out of my range

Question, 800 is a lot. I was thinking 600 at most. I understand we have to pay for the molding cost and other things. This should be a one time fee though. So if more people sign up will that drop the price. Like right now it is 5 people at 800, so if we got ten would it make it like 700 or even 600?

um 800 is way to much. if that is the price then im out

I think you guys who are really interested should get in on this and agree on a more reasonable price. But before Alero_Boy goes to the guy about lowering the price, the interested ones should have the funds "in hand" so the guy knows how serious this is. Just my 2 cents.

I wonder if the price would be lower with more people...

^^Yeah, is 4000 the actual amount of five people, or is 4000 the amount he needs to even start the project, because in that case, i'm pretty sure it would be easier to get ten peeps to come up with 400 bux.

Well just to let you all know that the one that custumcargrills sold did not use the stock hinges so if this hood uses the hinges then it might be worth it. I would hate to see all this happen again but when everything starts off everyone is interested but when it comes to the money you cant find anyone, just as a warning.

mine has the mounting points molded in carbon fiber, and uses the stock hinges. The fitment, though not perfect, is not that bad in person. May try some things to smooth that out this summer.

I would say try and get more people in on this. I'll be willing to pay $500 + shipping.... nothing more. But would maybe like to see less.

I agree we need to talk to this guy and see if the more we purchase the more the price will go down. I think that $500 would be my limit.
