    CARBON FIBER HOOD INSERTS....20 Buyers needed!

    I have a quote from...

    http://www.advancespeedshop.com/exte...FRFWagodPEZwRw


    Carbon fiber Hood Insert...manufactured by Seibon.

    I will send them an insert , they make a mold and do a run of 20.

    Cost...approx $330 per....very competitive with OEM metal price.


    Payment up front will be required...to cover my butt!

    Please indicate via poll if SERIOUSLY interested.

    It'd be nice to lose some of that weight, but you'd have to paint it pretty quick...Fla. (most sunny places) is hell on that clear.

    I'm still not too clear on what the stock hood insert is made of. Is it fiberglass, or fiberglass on top of something else, or what? I'd like to get some local estimates on getting mine repaired, but I reckon I need to know what it's made of first...
    I know you believe you understand what you think I said; but what you fail to realize is that what you heard is not what I meant.

    OK..OK..STOP!

    Read the thread!...REALLY READ IT !!.

    This idea was shelved months ago...cause of not enough interest.



    But now it seems people are interested all over agian!


    I'm a tad busy...but will look into a cheaper..GOOD version of carbon insert...

    ...as soon as i have time.

    Meanwhile...let this thread DIE!.....

    Thanks

    It all depends on the look. If it improves the look of the OEM it's worthwhile, definitely.
