No recent news.. My car is at my guy now for a newer engine.. I'll ask him if he's interested in building the hood.. but most likely not if only 3-4 people are interested..

Thumbs up

Oh no prob good thing you brought it up shine is out of the game they don't want to do for some reason,

the other guy that was supposed to give us a good deal i don't know what the hell happen to him,

and the dude above me that posted says he has a friend down for the work but won't do for 3-4 peeps. I say do them either way I'm willing to pay no matter what!!!

im still down even if the hood run any where over 400 bucks just to have one would make me one off

^Yeah, I have a source but they won't even give me a serious quote unless we have 8-10 committed buyers willing to put down a deposit. This might be on hold until we can come together. Plus we need to pick a supplier.

I'm all for using herblenny's guy if I can see some of the quality of his work... but then again, we need serious buyers.

See if you can get your money back! Nah, that's cool. But we SERIOUSLY get them done here in Cali and shipping would be WAYYYY better. Plus, these guys are going to be making other stuff in carbon for our old school rides.

We can make them, I would need 10 buyers @ $500, made in the USA. Carbon Kevlar for $660


takes about 1 month to make the mold and 3-4 days per hood thereafter.

Search on Ebay for Carbon fiber hoods for rx2. The guy that I bought mine from is selling them again. He is located in San Ysidro, real close to the border.

Heh, true. I might see if I can get a few other guys in on a deal and get 3-4 shipped up here to NorCal. I'm sure it's the same price to ship 1 or 3-4.

Are you guys blind deaf and dumb? I just told you there is a guy on Ebay selling them already and he has them at a good deal. No group buy neccessary, no trying to see if someone can make them yadda yadda. Go onto Ebay and type in Carbon fiber hood rx2, place your friggen order!
