For those who are interested in buying a Fiber Images carbon fiber hood I need a fellow max owner (5th Gen) that is willing to donate thier factory hood and in return they will receive a free carbon fiber hood from Fiber Images...I just spoke to them and if we can get 10 buyers (11 including me) they will reduce the price from $699 to $550 + shipping. But the only way that they will make the mold for our cars is if we get at least 11 hood buy in. If anyone is interested please let me know and as soon as I get 10 fellow max owners that are SERIOUS buyers and I do stress the serious part...then Ill go ahead and place the order for our hoods.. You can either PM me or email me at jhans114@msn.com

Thanks guys,

u got a PM.

 

Just copies of current hood or some vent, bulge, etc. approach?

 

The hood will be an OEM replica but in Carbon Fiber, no vents. If you want to make it custom it will cost somewhere around $799. Dont think anyone wants to cough up that much $$$ for a hood..but I could be wrong

 

just wanted to make sure we all knew what it was...

 

How much time do we have? If I can save up then I am definately in.

 

i'll do it. i'll have mine off my car next week. it has a small dent in it and i'm getting a new one. i'll do it definetly.

wtf happened to your car?!

 

Where is the donation needed at? If it's close to GA, I'd be willing to drive around with no hood for a while . Seriously, I would be willing to do this, my hood is undamaged too.

 

Fiber image is in Palmdale, CA...
it's kinda hard for people in east coast to donate their hood(shipping will be amazing..so is the drive..)

 

Now we need people that are willing to buy the hood, I see that we have 2 potential donors, so now we need 9 people that want to purchase the hood. Please email me a name and contact number to all serious inquiries. As soon as I have the 11 potential buyers I will personally contact everyone so that we could get this ball rolling. Thanks

 

I don't think I'll have money to get in on this GD. So is this gonna be a one time deal or are the hoods still gonna be produced later? I know they'll be more $$$ if they are but I'll deal with that later.

Anyways, Does anyone know the weight of the stock hood? I know the CF hood won't make my car lightweight, but every little bit helps.

 

The hoods will be available later since the mold will be made the only thing is the cost is gonna be $699.00. Contact me when you do decide to get the hood because I have an account with them so Ill try to get you a better price.

 

Sounds hot. I am in. How much are they going to weight? Hood pins will pribably be necessary right?

 

For fellow 5th Gens that are seriously interested I would need for you to email me the following info: Name/Address/Contact# and please email this info to jhans114@msn.com so that as soon as I have everyone together I can call Fiber Images and get our hoods done.

Thanks guy/gals

You seem to be in a rush to get this together. This is actually a good thing. Your doing the rest of us a favor for getting a mold made. Thanks for putting this together. Ever since I bought the Max I've been dreamin about a carbon fiber hood.

It's not likely that I'll have the cash in time to catch this deal. If any of you guys want to do this later on...I'm in.

 

Got new wheels, so I'm poor now.

 

Its ok what I really want is to get fiber image to make the mold and since i have the account to get parts from them even if you dont get in this deal you will be able to contact me later and ill hook you up with a good discount.

 

By the way got pics of your new wheels????

 

They're in the digicam. I didn't get to take a good pic because it was rainy today... also, my oil line to the oil cooler busted so I had to replace that.

 

Will the carbon fiber hoods use the stock mechanisms, or will we need hood pins?

 

Willing to get, but honestly would like to see before a purchase. I've seen too many fitment issues, inconsistent CF weaves, and terrible top coats. I know FI is a reputable company, but I know for some reason, the first batches are usually a PITA. If the Hood looks good, has great feedback, I pay whatever amount it is.

You will need hoodpins, better to be safe than sorry.
GD that now
