so whats going on with these hoods? any updates? im ready to buy as soon as its out.

 

Im waiting for them to give me the info for us to call in and give the deposit.

So hopefully by tomorrow I will have more details.

This is for getting the Vented hood made.

If we would want the OEM or Scoop hood we would need 10 deposits for EACH of those to get made.

 

nice. and whats the price range? if i deposit tomorrow am i guaranteed to have one of the first 10 out? when do you think itll be ready by?

 

Thats a good question. Ill pass that along to them.

 

Okay I got this update from them this morning.

The price is $799 MSRP for the Carbon Creations Vented Hood. Because you guys are buying in bulk, we can offer a discount of 25% off the MSRP and sell the individual hoods for $599 + shipping. Deposits are non-refundable and would be $150 a person. Here is our shipping rates for hoods (we ship worldwide):

I need to get a list started from the people that are seriously interest in getting this hood. I will send you a PM when i see your name on the list. There were 39 of us who voted for this hood so all we need to get this started would be 10.

edit- how much would shipping be? just wondering..

 

Sweet bro!!

for shipping look at post #85 i put a link to their shipping prices.

Ill send you a PM.

 

bump for more names already dammit.

 

ok - I am interested in this. HOWEVER, before my name goes on the list I need to ask: what if I send the non-refundable deposit and say we only get 9 names on the list. Would I still be guaranteed the hood regardless of how many people sign up? Or, I guess the better question would be at what time is the deposit due?

 

I was adviced by them to get the 10 names first. Then we will collect the deposits from those 10. Like that we dont have a problem of this project falling through. As soon as we get those deposits in the production will start.

So they are ready and willing to go! We have 41 people that voted for this and only 2 have signed up for it???

And we wonder why we cant anything made for our cars

 

I'll take a set in red please. Oh, wait. These are not the LED tail-lights - sorry. I had forgotten it looks like those will only be available year 2020.
Anyways, slap my name on your CF hood list boy!!!!!

 

im going to be honest. i AM down for this hood i just don't have the cash due to christmas if you honestly did this hood i'd be on the list. hopefully u get enough ppl cause i REALLY wanna see this hood happen

 

Refer to my "Why 6th Genners are afraid to modify" thread

If you want deposit funds kept in a trust account, I offer to use my attorney trust account for that purpose.

 

some1 post this on 6th gen max org. ill try and get some from nycmaximas right now.

 

Keep it going guys keep it GOING!! Sniff.........I can't wait to see all you happy 6th genner's with CF hood lovin'....

 

Hey deus that will be a great Idea.

 

Yeah I have my money set aside for those LED tails but until then just trying to get this of the ground!!.

i have a strong feeling that this is going to get no where. can we just each throw like 300 down and whoever is on the list gets it?

 

ok - has the site been down since yesterday or something? Because I see the list still stuck with three names, so I am assuming people actually couldn't log on to put their names!

 

I agree - but if we can get 25% off thru a group deal that's a big discount
Or I have another idea! We buy one hood for $800 bucks or whatever it is and we share! We each keep the hood for a month at a time!

 

lol i call the summer months. you guys can decide which months you want. but seriously majestic max find out if we can pay the same price 599+ shipping if we just get like 5 ppl to deposit like 300 each.

 

I would have to see the final product before dropping any $$$. I am interested but frankly with recent (or not so recent) Pre-Order fiasco expirienced right on this forum I doubt many will be dropping anything as a downpayment.

Don't get me wrong, people dropped about $90.00 bucks for a Strut Tower Brace and some were ready to drive up to Canada and hang TAZ over it. That was only 90 bucks, you see anybody dropping $300 on non existing product. There is a thread on NYCMaximas how people pre-paid for certain product and months later they are still out of money, some way more then $300. If this was a local store then its one thing. Pre-paying online gives you absolutely zero protection. As time passes you loose your ability to fight anything with CC or PayPal as both have a time limit on how late you can file for it.

 

Okay ill shoot them an email and ask them about this.

From the looks of it thats the way we might have to go

 

LOL!!!! I got the Spring!!!

 

25% is a huge discount but I personally feel it is still rather too steep. I feel that 6th gen would perferably go for 22" or something instead of this kind of mod.

 

Ok ok ok - since you insist i got the winter.

 

I feel its pricey too man --- but hey - sometimes you just got pay to play....

 

41 votes and not even 10 of you will pony up for the deposit? Majestic and I really went out of our way to try and coordinate this for everyone so let's get going! Not to mention I have to live vicariously through you *****es now since my Maxima is totaled!

If you didn't notice, these will be THEE FIRST PRODUCTION CF HOODS AVAILABLE FOR THE 6TH GEN!!! C'mon people!!! Quite yer whinnin' and penny pinching and PONY UP!!!

 

. . .. . .like I said

 

you hit the nail on the head...

+1 on seeing a final product...not just a chop...

for 600 i would rather put it towards a knetix mani...

....

But... maybe a final pic will sell me on this... anyway.. good luck...

/subscribed

 

i would love to be the first one with it but im just sayin for myself idk bout others. i think right now is a wrong time to be collectin payments due to christmas and new years coming up. i would suggest doin this after the holidays

 

Oh man - THANK GOD that the LED tail-lights are not dependent (I think/I hope) on a group commitment, otherwise we would be dead on the water as well!!!! It would be just like here - 42 people voted and only 3 buyers. Why bother casting your vote then ....

 

What came first the chicken or the egg, if this company made 10 hoods and offered them for sale right now, all 10 would be gone, including me I would buy one. But I'm in agreement with most others, I buy made products or I wait, way to many pre-order broken promises and blown away time lines and for me over a 4 year period I tend not to play that game any more. Build it and I'll buy it, the company needs to take more risk than the customer. Last, if this company truly believes it can make a quality hood that it can sell, make 10 and see how fast they fly off the self. Between the Org, 6thGenmaximas and NYCMaximas not to mention other Max sites, they will have ZERO loss because these hoods will sell...

 

Hmmm.... you have a good point there Chernmax. Had not tought about that before. But then again, every car that I owned before this Maxima had a modding rich environment. Lucky me for buying a car that I loved how it looked from the first minute I saw it..... I guess I just forgot to do my homework when it came to see what modding resources were available .

 

yeah, if the companies make it, people will buy it..no one wants to have to put money down, and then wait for it to be made..one of these companies needs to just take the risk and make stuff, and they'll see that everything will sell..

 

Great point. Someone needs to show this thread to the manufacturer.
