For those of you that purchased a CF hood from Fiber Images in the David Cohen group deal, the hoods will go into production next week. The mold is already done and they expect to pop out 2-3 hoods a week. Expect for some of these hoods to be shipped out next week. I think it will be on a first come first serve basis, so those of you who pay off your balance first will receive your hoods first. I am checking back with Connie next week on the status of these hoods, but in the meantime, those of you who want to pay off the balance of your hoods can call Connie at Fiber Images. Tell her your name and that you are with the third gen maxima hood deal. Make sure to confirm your options on your hood.

Call:

Connie @ 661-274-9500

I believe that you can pay with either credit card or MO/Cashier's Check. Double check with Connie before you make your payment though.

Thank you all for your participation,
David C.

 

Are these going to be permanent production hoods? If so how much are they going to be?

 

so David, we will be paying FI directly, not you right!?

and whats the final balance...$250 or $250 + $50 shipping, I can't remember???

 

also If any one in the GD doesnt want their anymore they can sell it to me. Ill give you the money youve put down + $50 and ill pay the balance

 

Yeah so what's the final total?

 

Everybody gave me $225 originally. The deal was $450 plus shipping if everybidy remembers correctly. So the total balance is going to be $225 plus shipping or $325 plus shipping if you decided to get colored carbon fiber. If you want to get a hood outside of the GD, it will probably run you $650 plus shipping. This is just a guess. I do not have a definite price yet. This is just a guess. I do not have a definite price yet. Call Fiber Images to get an actual quote...

Thanks,
David C.

 

Also, DO NOT PAY ME!!!!

Thank you,
David C.

 

how much??? i need an new hood i hit a deer!!!

 

man, did the deer entrails get under your hood on your engine?? that thing is dirty as hell. you might wanna take that pic out of your sig, until you have cleaned it. thats just my opinion.

 

hey i am working on it... i have been meaning to get to it but i havent had the time!

 

Just in time before I asked about it! I will call them today

 

i called connie if you are part of the group offer way to go if not they will make the hood but it will be 649$ for it..and they will make them after the group deal...she said

 

Is it still too late to get in on the GD? Like if I were to the deposit, the final half, and shiping right now.

 

Yeah, you are way too late!! I posted a thread saying that the GD would be closing back in April. If you want one, you will have to pay $650 plus shipping. We paid $450 plus shipping.

Sorry,
David C.

 

Too bad they can't simply pour another hood into the mold. Oh well their loss.

 

Who all has paid off their hoods? I didnt have time to get around to it last week and now it looks like I'm gonna have to wait till next Monday or Tuesday.

 

well I have to wait till my money gets to Ngthing but that should be by sat or monday then Im gonna pay the rest to FI hopefully by tuesday, I want to get my hood asap

Im sure David has probably sent his money in already.

btw is it just me or is their site not working

 

I am wondering how to get in touch with FI, because everytime I call I get there answering machine, I was part of the GD and I would Like to get my hood ASAP, because there is a show coming in the next week. Just wondering if it is gonna make it in time. David thank you very much for making this GD possible.

 

ok i really need a new hood so what is the prie to be shipped to maryland?

 

did you sign up for the original deal back in January?? if not, I don't think you can get in on it...but I think it might be $650 shipped for those that missed out!!!

I know of a few junkyards in MD, you might wanna check out...save yourself some dough!!

so whats the deal on your ride?? I guess it wasn't wrecked right??

 

my ride is sittin front of my house wit a cover over it. its leakin green stuff and the batteries dead. its not getting fixed until after my tuition is paid for. they said it might be any where from 1600 to 3200 depending on how bad it is under the hood. there are thinking about getting me a newer maxima like a 1997-1999 it will ethier be gold or blk/with tan leather.

 

Soo....has anybody been able to contact them? They dont pick up their phones!! David have you gotten yours?

 

I thought it was just me that could not get a hold of them I'm scared

 

is there website not working any more?

 

it only works for me on Internet Explorer....

 

whats the website? and i know this is a stupid question but what does carbon fiber hood does except the look?? thank you...

 

it's light...very light...i'm sure it will fix the hood support problem that's pretty common recently...

 

isnt it www.fiberimages.com?

 

i see nissan maxima fiber hood but for 95-99 and thanx noleafclover for answering the question....

 

Make sure you guys leave a message. I know that they're hard to contact, but I can still get in touch with them about once a week. They do return their messages. You just have to be persistant. Otherwise, you can email them at fiberimages@earthlink.net. Sorry about the hassle...

David C.

 

We're trying...their message box is constantly full....do they actually return e-mails?

 

fiberimages really is sorta difficult in general
if'n you guys have heard about turbo95max's problems with them,
you'd probably never have bought a hood from them in the first place

basically he bought the hood from them..
when it arrived, we put it on and it had fitment problems,
the hood wouldn't even shut right until we moved stuff around

after it was all and done, it still rubbed a bit on the edges,
had a bulge, and a blemish. all normal 4th gen problems

so he's driving around with his brand new shiny hood
at about 30-40m mph and the thing flies up for no reason

2 problems with that
first, the hood shoudlnt be flying up period
second, the secondary latch doesn't do CRAP, which I've heard is a
problem on those FI hoods

now we're sitting at his house looking at the car and the hood
the car is a mess, dent on the roof, fat dent on the A pillar
the carbon fiber has separated from the fiberglass backing, and
some parts of the backing have cracked in half

called up fiberimages, dealt with Connie, a woman who obviously
is angry at the world. (Albert's wife) anyway, she gives a lot of
attitude, blames us for the bad install, claims that we're required
to put hood latches on the car (which is funny, because carnal_c30
had his hood installed by FI themselves and they didnt put latches on
it)

so basically after a lot of phone calls and issues we got them to
refund the money on the hood. unfortunately they will not fix
any of the damages on the car, leaving turbomax looking like turbodent

we shipped the hood out about 2 months ago, and they've recieved it
for some reason, they havent sent out the refund yet

now isn't that cute?

 

yeah, i would defenitely recommend hood pins for your new CF hood lol

 

I always thought it was pretty much known that it's a must to put hood pins on your CF hood...

 

just got paid, I'm calling FI tommorow...***** better be in the damn office!

 

there are plenty of people without pins in the cF hood

heck, carnal C30 had his hood installed by fiberimages themselves
and they didn't put hoodpins on his car

 

I just left my message on their voicemail.... I love how they post their office hours.... "9-4 pacific time" meaning that right now its about 2' oclock over there....and they aren't in...hmmmmmmm

 

Dude I JUST talked to Connie! Got her on the first try too, which was a surprise.

Anyways...

If you want to pay off your hood with CC here's what you need to do (what she told me at least). I'm pretty sure this goes for everyone considering she didnt ask my name, address, or anything:

Fax them...

Write out that you're authorizing FI to charge your credit card and sign it. Include your name and copy of your DL, and also the CC # and I assume type (Visa, etc).

Fax number - 1-661-274-9555

From what I can gather everyone's balance is $325 after the initial $225 we put down. It looks like their not actually calculating each shipping cost, but rather just tacking on $100 for everyone's order.

I asked her if she needed my City to determine my shipping cost and she said nope it's standard $325. Heh

 

Why would you install a ten pound hood without hood pins. Obviously, it would not take a whole lot of force for oncoming air to rip a carbon fiber hood off of a car. I've never seen a street car without hoodpins on a carbon fiber hood....

David C.

 

james, that hood is gonna look so pimp on my car. . er . . on your car
