Possible GB: Carbon Fiber Hoods

Who's down for a group buy of CF hoods? These will have a UV coating to prevent discoloring (might be slightly yellow or green, like all VIS hoods due to the resin used).

CAN be painted!

Cost, with 5: $430 picked up from NJ
with 10: $400 picked up
with 20: $350 picked up

I CAN SHIP OUT TO ANY GREYHOUND GPX TERMINAL!! Check your local GPX terminal here: http://www.shipgreyhound.com/locations/locations.asp You will have to pick it up from there. Reply to this post with your location so I can get a quote.

I can ship too, but I have no idea what the cost would be.

Delivery will be from China to NJ by sea, so it will take at least 25 business days for delivery. Unfortunately I need payment up front. You all know I'm good for it though... I've done two GB's from China of HID kits and you all were satisfied, right?

3 year warranty!

UV coating to protect from the sun!

Here are the pictures of hoods, the pricing is only for the E36 OEM hoods. E36 NON-OEM scoop hoods is +$150 each. Haven't gotten pricing for the E36, E60, or E90 hoods yet.

Can they be painted?

I haven't heard great things about VIS hoods fitment and quality, Eurodyne had a GB on BF.C but they just recently sold out of sedan hoods

Update, $430 each for 5, $400 each for 10!!!!

Well if we get 20, it's $350 each.

I've seen Mad-Machine's hood and it looks awesome. His is a VIS hood.

Interested. Do you have any idea how they are packed? I think using the original shipping box with insurance via Fedex might not be more than $50. I just shipped a huge 100 lb air conditioner from OH to OR for $40. These hood weigh something like 15lbs right?

No idea... sorry. I'll ask.

LOL... so I started this thread at BF.com and it got locked. Those idiots.

we would still have to pay shipping ontop of the final price,

how much shipped to 70443 ??

Yes you would, but I'm not sure. eBay sellers are charging $150 I believe... but I think it's likely cheaper. Fedex shows around $100 for shipping with dimensions of 48x50x6 (not sure actual dimensions) and 22 lbs.

Damn... shipping is expensive for large items! I might be able to get them dropshipped. I'll see what I can do.

NICE! I can ship via Greyhound for around $50 each. The downside is you have to pick it up at the nearest Greyhound station that serves you. Check here: http://www.shipgreyhound.com/locations/locations.asp and tell me which greyhound station is closest and I can get shipping quotes! Woot! Cheap shipping!!!

hmm this is very tempting ah
