    what the hell's going on w/ the carbon hoods?

    last year we were supposed to get this group buy deal for some carbon hoods. supposidly(spelling) we were suppose to get the hook up from kdawgone or whatever and get some damn hoods made. so what's going on?

    anyone else interested in the hoods? and if enough people are dead set on getting a hood, maybe we can source a vendor/maker of carbon products here in the u.s. instead of going to canada.

    any other thoughts/ideas/suggestions? i want a carbon hood bad!

    i spoke with the guy doing it, i guess they're waiting for the molding to cure and then will start poping out hoods every 2 weeks from there on. we'll see. i'm supposed to get one of the 1st hoods, so we'll see.

      okay...who wants carbon hoods?
      i've recieved word from a carbon fiber manufacturer that they are willing to make hoods for our cars.

      now, now...these are some high quality hoods.


      these are not:

      made of fiberglass then covered with carbon fiber
      cheap ass hoods like others on ebay, etc.


      these are:
      all carbon fiber
      extremely light
      extremely tough

      prices though, might scare most of you off.lol

      1200-1500 set-up fee, for the molds and tooling. we could spllit the costs of this up.

      and after that, hoods per person should be around 500 dollars.

      yikes! but let me know who's interested and willing to get some high quality **** for the 2gen proteges.

      check out www.carbon-werks.com

      thanks
      c'mon guys we need this, well i do.

        we already have a hood already in the makes. Kris found a guy out of Canada that is doing it for us.

        The mold is already done or just about cured. They're working on the 1st hood now. Takes about 3 weeks til its done. I already have my name on it.... hehehe. then they'll be poping one out every 3 weeks. looks like it'll be about 400 US for the hood. all CF top bottom and everything in between. don't know what shipping is yet.

        i'll get back to you on the details when i get them.

            Yup, what patrick said.
            I was trying to surprise everyone but the lid has been blown.
            Yup, its been a slow proccess, but, the first hood should be in about 3 weeks. It has a JDM-style scoop on it (same spot, but alot smaller). Oh, the mfgr is CROSS PERFORMANCE, a new company out of London, ON (local to me). The whole deal has been time consuming and very tireing on my part as I have spoken to at least 10 diufferent companies. But yeah, the first hood is Pats...but the first pics are on MY CAR! Buahahaha!
            LOL...but yeah, about $550-$600 CDN...whatever that is USD (www.xe.com/ucc)

                        actually the money that was pitched in was used for the donor hood. i told him he coulda used mine since it was at the shop for 3 months.. but he didn't want to take a chance..

                            Nope, its not too late. Patrick gets the first hood in about 3 weeks, then, they should be able to do a hood every week.
                            More details to follow once I get more of them!
                            Maybe we could make a list? Just copy and paste the list into your response and add your name. I was supposed to get the number of people interested a while ago, but, bleh, im lazy...lol:
