Also, shipping might be quite high from OZ to USA.. might be more than the hood itself..

Especially since I was on ausrotary.com and saw 13Beef posting pictures of my buddies FC trying to sell his own hoods which hadn't even been made yet. I confronted him about it, asked why he is using pictures of my friend's car without his knowledge and he never bothered replying to me. He could be an okay guy but that made the bull-**** flag go up for me.

LOL! I just got off the phone with my guy here in Alabama and he said he could do it for 400-450 for FG RX2 or R100 hoods. He could also lay CF if anyone need one in CF.
I'm heading over to his shop next week to take a pic of his R100 hood skin he made.. He also think he might already have a mold for Rx2 hood.. He has to double check if its RX2 or 3.

Just thought id share my experience with BEEF here. i just recived som parts from him, and the quality is absolutely amazing! Edges looks like they have been lazer cut, and fitment is great. I would highly recommend him when it comes to carbon parts.

So how many of you are interested in the R100 or Rx2 hoods.. I need to know if there is at least 10 people interested.. otherwise, its not worth doing this... please post and let me know who would be interested at $450 for FG and $550-600 for CF.

I'm going to head over there tomorrow to take a pic of his FG skin of the R100.
He said skeleton for the hood shouldn't be a problem either. He said its kind of rough skin but final should be good. We need at least 10 of each to get this project going..

How about the rx2 in carbon fiber every time we post we need at least ten names nothing happens how about collecting the money up front having it sent paypal to a legit account so that way these hoods could get started. And on top of that the hoods do not get started until all 10 hoods have been paid. This is the only way this is going to work. People want hoods and the only thing i see on the thread is talk and listing of names, lets ge the ball rolling here. Put you name on the list and lets get start sending the money.

Teddy, I agree..
I'll start collecting the money after I see the hood skin myself and see what kind of pricing we are looking at. Once the figure is worked out, I will start collecting $100 deposit. Once the money is collected and we reach 10 people, I will then ask my guy to start building the hood. I'm definitely for RX2 hood as I just picked one up.
Also those who haven't done any business with me before, I've done several GB for 3rd gen parts and collected well over 10k worth of funds for one of the GB I ran couple of years ago. I think I'm trust worthy.. hehe..
