possible carbon fiber hood group buy.
just seeing if anyone is interested in carbon hoods. i was thinking of running a group buy and need numbers of interested people to see if its worth while. dont have prices yet but as the fob price is under $300usd they wont be to expensive.








fob price as in 300$ including hood and shipping to our port
or only for shipping to our port?
hey man, would the hood be the same as our stock hood's ? but just in carbon fiber or will they be different ??? if they are the same i will be in for getting one.
they look the same as stock but in carbon fiber..fob price is the hood minus shipping..i have emailed to get a price on 10 hoods delivered to ontario..will let you know on progress.
is this coming from the states?
if so, a lot of vancouver bc ppl can get it shipped to pt roberts or blaine.
simply pop across the border pick up and pay your duties n taxes.
I'd buy one if my car wasn't rusty
1991 GTiR r.i.p
1979 Volvo 262c Bertone *SOLD*
1991 GTiR No. 2 :D
id be in for that, let me know shipping
BOTTLES ARE FOR BABIES.. REAL MEN GET BLOWN
IN FOR SURE. Can anybody post some pics of the tentative design? Are they similar to the ones made by knight-racer?

I'm in...seems really inexpensive. Who is making it?
the company is based in taipei, tiawan and makes carbon hoods for siebon so they are very good quality..i have also enquired about carbon fenders and tailgate spoilers also.
any chance of having a shipment dropped off in Vancouver too?
how about having the crux lip replicated. I can source one for u in japan for like 350$. Getting it to taipei is a different story.
this all seem very promising
Mine isn't bigger than yours.. I just like to drive
When there is a definate price with shipping to vancouver let me know. if i can swing it i will for sure.
I take one

I'm in for a hood, can pay anytime. No fenders for me.

When do you think payment will be due? I am coming back from Australia in December. Are the shipments going to be before then?
Excited for this, any pictures from them? As well, they do the entire hood and vents out of CF, correct?

im tempted but a bit short on extra $ at the moment, if the deal takes time, I might be able to jump in.
*I would trade a used soul for one of those if anyone need a spare one.
nearly there guys..10 is the magic number. i will send my own hood and fenders for the molding so its a go as soon as the weather breaks.
the fenders will be $600 a pair and i need a 5 order minimum for these. i can have them made with no hole for side marker if you want.

Is that 9? So close!
i'll take one.
but if you guys know anything about carbon weave parts for cars... then it is very important to know what resin is used.
why? because it can turn YELLOW very quickly with the heat of the motor if the proper resin is not used.
let me know either way, i'm in.
just seeing if anyone is interested in carbon hoods. i was thinking of running a group buy and need numbers of interested people to see if its worth while. dont have prices yet but as the fob price is under $300usd they wont be to expensive.
Are you not selling your GTIR? Are you still organizing this Group Buy?

i will find out what resin is used...they are a reputable supplier so i assume the quality will be good..however i have also contacted knightracer in england to find out bulk pricing on their products as these are known very good quality products..the buy is still at least 2 months away so i will keep you all posted..no i'm keeping my r. turning it into a serious track car as time attack is suposed to be coming here next year.
excellent, that gives me a bit of time anyways. I have custom cut springs + camber/castor & toe comming from K-mac... set me back a bit to say the least.

yes the correct resin is used and they have sourced a hood and fenders to make the moulds so its a go. i will need full payment to do the order so if you want to give me a call to talk about it tonight would be good. i will be home about 6pm. 1(705)786-9297.
i have to order 5 sets of fenders so there will be three up for grabs after they arrive and will be ordering 12 hoods so there will be an extra 2 as i am going to hang on to these for people unable to go in the group buy now.
Ill probably take one gotta check my papes first though
Guaranteed to put a smile on the front of your head!

oohh darn i missed this I'll call you tomorrow I hope...

crap. I just booked my scuba diving course and more trips down here in oz. I'll send payment when I get home in December for one of the "extra" hoods since I'm skint as an ugly hooker right now.

my car is now off the road and the fenders are boxed up and ready to be shipped to the factory for the molds to be made. i need payment asap so i can get this ball rolling. $500 usd for a hood and $600usd for pair of fenders.
thanks.
ok the fenders are on the slow boat to china..so to speak. the owner of the aero company emailed me to confirm pricing and delivery times once payment is received. could all interested parties please pm me with a comtact number so i can call to discuss the buy. this is also open to other car makes and models so if anybody has buddies looking for hoods for other jap car such as r32's, s13, s14 etc these are also available at the same price. i am considering doing a buy in the spring on tailgates and roof spoilers. these will be about 1/2 price of knightracer's items.
Are you still able to get hoods? What would they cost outside of a group buy?
the hood cost id $500usd. there is still time to get in on the group buy.
hood and fender payments can be made to this paypal. gtirjohn@live.com As soonas i have received all the payments i will be sending it through. i will mark off the list as payments are made.

for those guys worried about who is making the hoods and fenders for us here is their website http://www.hanheco.cn i have been talking ato them about possibly making tailgates and spoilers in the future if there is any interest. i need payment asap so i can place the order. thanks. any questions call me on 1(705)786-9297
i guess this was all in vain..now i'm out my fenders as well as i sent them out to make the moulds...arghhhhhh!!!!!! i just want to say that this took a lot of leg work on my part and that of the manufacturer. i guess i shouldnt have bothered and just ordered stuff for myself..if anyone is really interested please let me know as i am ready to give up on this group buy.
well im still interested by the Gb ...
