Carbon Fiber Hoods

**crwa** · 11-13-2003, 02:13 PM

Well as some of us know, carbon fiber hoods are available and can be purchased from 3 different sources now.

One of these sources is a company called Aitracing.com. I called them today and the hoods themselves are 4350 and they take a week to be manufactured. The shipping is another $150 to anywhere in the U.S.

I just though I'd let people know the price so they can comapre this to the two other prices of the hoods.

They actually cost $4,350?????

**bboipinoy112** · 11-13-2003, 04:20 PM

uhmm no its not 4350 ... check this link

**crwa** · 11-13-2003, 05:31 PM

No, sorry $350... I didn't press shift long enough...

**kicker1_solo** · 11-13-2003, 07:13 PM

WASTE OF MONEY!

"Hey did you get in an accident, and get a new hood, but it's not painted yet"?

**shepherd79** · 11-14-2003, 04:27 AM

**Chadroper** · 11-16-2003, 02:49 PM

Tell me where, I'll buy one at the end of this week if that's true.

**wprocomp** · 11-16-2003, 04:47 PM

ok well if there is enough intrest I will set up a group buy and get them even cheaper,but I am not real sure how many I will have to buy...I will let you know tomorrow

**kicker1_solo** · 11-16-2003, 05:05 PM

Well shoot, if you can get them cheaper than $340, mark me down for one for sure. And I'm sure we can get 10 people in on this.

**AccordEpicenter** · 11-16-2003, 06:24 PM

im in if you can get them cheap

**crwa** · 11-16-2003, 11:28 PM

Where can you get them for $340 shipped??? Let me know, cause I don't care about a group buy, I want to get one soon so let those of us who want them know now...

**Justin86** · 11-16-2003, 11:53 PM

Damn that is pretty cheap.

**wprocomp** · 11-17-2003, 03:18 PM

ok i called my freind and he said that they changed there shipping company but its now $360 shipped,thats still cheap...thing is thats shipped here to san antonio...if someone else wanted one it wouldnt be that much different...I will see how much it cost to ship them ok...heres the lowdown on the quality

grade B hood(not perfect but better than C grade)
they DO have rolled edges
clearcoat and high gloss gel coat for longer shine
full underside bracing
and if there was a group buy of 15 they will think about trunklids too,MAYBE

**kicker1_solo** · 11-17-2003, 07:56 PM

Where do I order?

**crwa** · 11-18-2003, 04:18 PM

Whats is grade b cf??? And what is the down side, and how do we get ahold of you friend to order???

**wprocomp** · 11-19-2003, 10:00 AM

well i would be the one ordering them and shipping them since my freind dosent ship thourgh the U.S. ,he would also have to charge more to make a profit off of them...and they did say it would take 1 to 2 weeks to make the hood...and the gradeing system is how finely made the cf material is and the quality of the fit too

**crwa** · 11-19-2003, 03:14 PM

Ok... so how much are they really??? Don't say they are $340, then $360, and then say he wants to make a profit, how much are they from his manufacturing point to the buyers front door? And, what, there is no guarantee that it will line up right? WTF, I'm not gonna buy one from your friend if it won't line up right and if the cf isn't as good as it could be, F' that I'll just buy one for more and have a guarantee that it will fit and that it won't fall apart when i hit the freeway...

**wprocomp** · 11-19-2003, 08:41 PM

no fitment isnt a problem..actually I was talking to him today and he just got one for a teg and he said that it fit very nicely...and when i said the profit part,THATS if you bought them from him...see that price is only if its shipped to SAN ANTONIO! thats why i said I would buy them and then i would ship them to you...this is local speed shop that I am talking about,not a big marketing company...and if you did buy the one direct from AIT it would be the same thing,this is coming from the same place man...not some shithole company...if you want a grade A hood like VIS makes then you need to talk to them...

now if you are interested give me some zip codes or pm me so I can get you a price on shipping...I am trying to help yall out but you just need to let me get shiznit worked out,thanks

**kicker1_solo** · 11-19-2003, 09:14 PM

Why would we want to ship them twice? Ship it to San Antonio and then ship it to our house? Why? Why not just have it shipped to our house in the first place? Save the middle bullshit and save us a lot of cash.

**crwa** · 11-19-2003, 09:22 PM

Alright... How much to have it shipped to Portland, OR 97223? And ask if the hoods come with the hood bracket holes already threaded and do they have brackets for the stock hood latch?

If you say they will fit then I trust you, And as far as the front hood grille's go, are these for 86-87, or 88-89, and do the hoods have holes for the washer squirters? Hopefully not, I would rather have a clean one w/o the squirter holes... and they don't have emblem holes for the front 'H' do they? I'm pretty sure cf hoods come clean w/o any holes for emblems and squirters, but I just want to check...

If you can get them shipped for $360 or close to that, I'll buy one fairly soon...
