Am I missing anyone? So then at the current time, lets see who (in the order they are) has the money to pick up their hoods right now. At a certian point, it seems the list goes on to the next person who is ready, and the people who got passed up are basically first in line for the next batch, if they don't opt to pass again.


Is this the way its working?

im getting mine this weekend

If you think you are next in line AND READY, please let me know. :)

hey shineautoproject can you tell me my place in line please. I purchased through paypal(names Samuel Vanorman) I got the hood and the rear diffuser you make a little while ago. The total price I paid with shipping was $960

mmm sexy style.
btw what bumpers are these?

SAP?

don't know but i have that first one in my bedroom haha, bought it from shineauto

Red one is BN Sports Type 1 (type 2 has headlight cut-outs). Purple one is GP SPorts style with painted Canard wings.

anyone know what strut tower bars will clear the hood?

Well mine looks to be a Mazdatrix strut tower bar (couldn't tell you for sure) and it cleared the hood with very minor trimming.

Sorry about the blurry pic...

Shine...will you continue to make this hood??

just wondering because i'll be a while before I can afford one...

just picked mine up over the weekend. will post some pics when i get the time

RyoFC3S, That is NOT a mazdatrix strut tower bar. Looks to me like a CP Racing bar.

as long as we're still in business. Yep :)

Mazdatrix Strut Tower Bar:

CP Racing Bar (couldn't find where to order one though...):

Yeah, looks like mine is more similar to the CP Racing one (but not identical).

-Andrew

Looks like you have a CP bar to me. Be glad you haven't found anywhere to buy another though. Many people have sent them money and never recieved shit.

Thats too bad. Its pretty quality work.

When I purchased the car 3.5 years ago (almost bone stock) the guy threw the strut bar in the trunk. Never heard where it came from. The welds look slightly different.. maybe mine's custom based off the CP one, or an older model.

Probably an older model before they put their name on the bar. I've heard from some people that actually did get bars from CP and they all said the welds were terrible. I don't think I ever heard of any of the welds breaking though.:dunno:

so for the CP (look-a-like) did you shave the end of the scoop (making the hole bigger)

or did you shave the bottom of the hood (making the hood thinner)?

think the mazdatrix will fit? does anyone know of any brands that might have a slimmer,(flatter) bar??

i was looking at the tanabe, and new greddy bar, but they dont show the dimensions

word....

i'll swoop one when the time is right for me....

can you flip the bar around 180 degrees?
I have a similar bar and run the bar on the firewall side of the strut towers to clea my LS1 intake.


nice hood SHINE! wow! wish I had the $$$$$$ for all of your stuff!

Here is what I did (I actually overshaved it a little bit...):

http://www.tritonmotorwear.com/images/CUT.jpg

The green is where I cut, the red is where it ran originally. I did the same thing on both sides.

The cuts only needed to be about the size of 1/2 of a quarter. I did about the size of a full quarter.

Looks to me like only my strut bar type would work unless you had one that went behind the engine instead of infront of it (which I have never seen). Mazdatrix looks to be too far back and would not clear the downward sloping part.

Here's my idea:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/STRUT-TOWER-BAR-F...QQcmdZViewItem

$5 strut bar?? I'm gonna bend the shit out of it and make it fit!

ok. we have 5 hoods right now. All pre-test fitted and are good to go. Who's next????

i'm guessin it's not being made with CFRP, because i'm thinking of just getting the OE style in CF, but your's looks really good and i'm going to go fmic sooner or later anyways. i don't know -_-"

Is this the same hoods or new ones? Since last week when you said:





Just curious who's in line, and not checking the thread, or not ready to pick up, or not ready to pay. Ken, perhaps we should PM them and tell them pay or pass? Stagnant product delays production of new items and makes everything slow.

I thought about that too, but then it runs straigt into the alternator.

Danew, check your pm.

got my hood and diffuser in the other day, good stuff --thanks shine, looking forward to the undertray and doors for the FC

any new updates about the strutbar issue? i was going to try to tweak my greddy bar a little this weekend and if it has a slight chance maybe thin out the hood where it makes contact...

has anyone looked into the tanabe strut or tried the mazdatrix? someone on nopistons.com said mazdatrix might fit the sexystyle. are there any other companies that make CPracing-like bars?

Ok who's next? we haven't shipped out a hood in the longest time.

Did you happen to ship the original one out to me yet?

- Kevin

Shine are you making any more in the future????


or is this 18 runs of the hood only

How much are these for someone who wasn't on the list?

Told ya Ken, I'm waiting to see that FC2000 bumper for sale so I can get them both shipped! I'd rather not pay $200 for shipping to Canada twice!

$475 . As long we're still in business....this should be available. Unless we get tired of looking at the mold :)

Hmmm...for sure within the next 2 weeks I'm ordering a front bumper...while I have a deal with a semi truck driver I'm very tempted to grab a hood as well...

I think it looks sick as hell

i' ll probably be looking to buy one of these in the future... like a year or two. Don't need it until my V Mount...

is it still possible to get one of these? if so id like to do local pick up. im in los angeles, 90064.

sorry me and fris already have it, we ALL can't have it now...







jk haha

Yeah man.... come on in :)

hahah, joo bastard! lol, ionno maybe ill just keep my top mount.

sent you a pm ken, about the other thread.

one more thing, PICTURES! hahahah jk.
