if the the PRICE is right count me in...the brand doesn't matter...

 

ill try to contact FI and see whats up

 

i just emailed FI, ill let you guys know what they say when i find out

 

im in on a deal if u can get it below 600, if not ill go to that other site.

 

Well, I called Seibon on Monday and talked to this really nice lady that really didn't know a JAcK (probably the receptionist acting like tech support). But she said the person I had talked to back in April or so was no longer at the company, but she was passing my info to the person that took their place.

She also said that their policy is to respond to all inquiries in 2 days, so I should be hearing from them today (I hope...)

Let's just see what BOTH places say and try to get at least ONE deal going. (and I say TRY with extreme prejudice)

 

i hope the price is good enough so that this can actually go thru this time

 

Count me in for 450 or less.

 

ok in posted order it is:
me(shavedmax)
irishmax92(if in the 300's)
2thamax
phast92se
nubiannupe
mrgone(in the 300's)
possibly chris91se
flippedoutmax93(in the 300's)
92topendmax
amaxima(in the 400's)

thats 10............divided by 3 is 3.3, i think we might have a hrd time having them make 1/3 of a hood

let me know if there are any errors.
btw, havent heard from FI yet

 

I'd send FI a FAX of your proposal...they seem to respond better to faxes.(that was the only way I got them to send me my hood a while back when the original GD went down) also what time are you calling them....always got the best response when calling 2pm eastern time. IMO don't wait on their emails, you'll be waiting for a while!

 

to everything he just said, same thing with my hood.

 

thats hilarious

 

i had emailed them a while back when i looked into it and they had responded fairly quick, but i guess a price isnt asdifficlut to get as a deal . ill try to do that then

 

Well, here's what I got from Seibon:

I'll try to call them AND fax them on Monday

 

sounind better all the time, are u going to contact FI about going lower than seibon? do a little bargining? im still interested.

 

$hit sounds good. I'd come up with the doe if its under $450.

Try to do some wheelin' and dealin' with these ppl.

They're doing these hoods for that price WITHOUT group deals.

They can sell 'em for $400 to us, and still make 4 G's...

 

hey shaved, quick question, if ur looking to buy a CF hood, why did u repaint the hood ur new color? or was this CF idea conceved after the painting?

 

Yeah, but usually, those GD's you're talking about are for 4th gen's (which can get those hoods a dime a dozen). It's almost a "one-off" kinda thing, when thinking along the lines of 3rd gens since most of them are at least 10+ years old and don't have a wealth of aftermarket resources to choose from.

Just food for thought - YOU do the dishes!

 

probably because he didnt want to drive around with a gray silver hood while the CF hood was being made or incase it wasnt made at all.

 

i never was really onto the cf hood thing, but i think it would look good with the color

 

agreed! i say try to get each company to keep going lower til neither will go lower anymore.... basically what im sayin is lets try to get this price as low as we can

 

I have a gut feeling and I seriously don't see FI doing ANY type of "barganing"...it just seems that they don't have much to lose in this deal since 3rd gens aren't really their top customers?. the first GD was probably hard enough to get them to agree with. I'd say don't expect to go under $500 + shipping is my guess

 

$500 + shipping is still lower than $600 + shipping... so really its all good as long as this gd goes thru as far as i see it

 

any good news from either company yet?????

 

havent heard anything yet

 

aight... jus keep us posted whenever you hear anything
