What's that magic price point? In other words, what would you guys pay for a carbon fiber hood?

One would think this is true but the past has shown otherwise. My hood was one of 4 or 5 prototypes to see if it would be profitable, obviously it wasnt. Alerostyle didn't do great either. The problem is everybody says they want something and then when it is produced they don't like it anymore or don't have the money. Long before alerostyle I actually had a small business loan to produce OEM alero carbon fiber hoods. Had a real talented smaller local carbon fiber company out of my home state of south dakota. They would keep the molds, and I would get 100 OEM hoods at roughly $170 a piece. I thought I would easily be able to sell them for $350-400 and make a real nice profit, but I decided after some long hard thinking to not go through with it........... |

I agree, but here's an alternative to the big silver circle with the pin through the middle. They're flush mount with a cover that opens, and you can lock them. They'd only be needed if the hood made didn't have a stock latch.
Almost can't even see them against the carbon fiber.

sorry for it being off topic a bit, but what would you be doing with the fenders? just stock fenders or something with vents to help release hot air as well or not? just curious to what may come available in the future for our cars...

We have a few fender designs in various stages right now. We'll be doing: OEM, flared (sort of like the dodge viper), and probably a vented set later on.
