Those hoods in Japan sell around $1,000 if not more!

ZoomZoom2ndgen and RETed, does that mean that you guys are in for a hood? Pending pictures and a final price of course. But I'm trying to keep Dave up to date on who would buy one. The more people that will buy the first batch the better the prices will be for all of us.
And about the original Panspeed hood... I priced it out and it came to $1400 shipped to Cali. So if Dave can make one that's just as good (which I have NO doubts he can) for $500-$600 then I'd be an IDIOT to not get one. Just my .02

The hoods aren't supposed to be finished for a couple of months so you'll have plenty of time to save up the money. I just need to know that you will be in for sure pending pictures and a final price.

Listen to the warnings about the FC market. Product development is like sitting in a dark room with food laying about. All the roaches will come out and nibble a little bit but once someone turns on the light they all scatter. FC owners act similarly when a price is revealed, they all go and hide.

Comitatus, Dave said he was going to make carbon versions of the hood if the market would be there. He just wants to make it in fiberglass first to see how many he will sell before dumping the money into a carbon version.

Ok, thanks! Makes sense to me. I know Dave makes a good product...and I've been looking for a Carbon Vented hood for a while now. I pretty much have everything else in place or on-order, so this would be icing on the cake for me.
This is definitely true, but there are some of us (few and far between) who will pay the money for a good product because of the projects we have going...
I don't even want to count up the receipts for the parts that I've purchased in the past 2 months...

Most people that end up spending time/money on our fellow lads end up losing out.

I know what you guys are talking about when it comes to people backing out on a deal. I had 3 people lined up to buy my motor at different times. All of them saw it and said "I'll take it." but when it was time to get the money and give up the engine all 3 of them flaked out on me. And all 3 of them were forum members here. That's why I'm hoping people in this thread won't do that. I guess the best we can do is to wait and see.
