New Info on Fiber Image Carbon Fiber Hoods...long.
OK so I spoke to the distributor and here is the info:
1. The hoods will cost $550(retail is $699)
2. We need a total of 11 buyers in order to get this deal.
3. The hoods will be a exact replica of our stock hoods.(no scoop/vents)
4. The hoods do not come with hood pins, this is an option that you could add on your own.
5. Shipping will be done anywhere in the states & Canada.
6. Who ever donates their hood to Fiber Image, will receive a free hood.(must only pay for shipping)
7. Hoods will use all stock laches so no modifications will be needed.
8. According to Fiber Image the fitting should be exact as our stock hoods.
9. This is an idea just in case we cant get someone to donate their hood: Courtesy Nissan gave me a price for a brand new hood that we could have shipped to Fiber Image if no one can give up their stock hood. If we all chip in we could get this hood and instead of someone getting a free hood then the difference would be discounted for the rest of the hoods. The price for a new hood from Courtesy is $350 shipped to Fiber Image.
10. If anyone is interested in this deal please email me your Name, Contact #, and a shipping address so I could give shipping costs. We already have about 3 certain buyers including myself.
11. Here is my contact info just incase anyone has any questions: Email: jhans114@msn.com/ #305-342-4859cell. Please only serious inquiries, if you just have questions feel free to PM me.
Thanks guys for all your cooperation.

Im going to verify if the price for the hood includes the shipping, but the difference between our hood and the 4th gen is that they have to actually make the mold for ours and they already had the mold made. Im going to speak with them again tommorow. Any further questions would be appreciated. And about the nozzle for the washer that would have to be custom because the carbon fiber hoods dont have holes for washers.

BTW just to make sure, can I paint the CF hood body colored? I think I heard you could.

Even after this Group deal I will be able get the Fiber Image hoods. Just contact me at a later date and I ll see what I can do for you. This is a deal to get them to make the mold and give us a discount but once they have the mold then they will be available for good.

Just to get this straight for myself, you say that instead of paying $550 and getting the CF hood directly from these guys, we can buy a new hood for cheap from Nissan, send it to these guys and get a CF hood free or at least fr the cost of buying a new hoodfrom Courtesy?
Holla...
