This is going to be a complete hood made out of carbon fiber, by carbon creations, the quality on their hoods is one of the highest out there, and just in case anyone has wondered, they do incorporate the pins so we can use our stock hood shocks.

dude im laughing my ace off
, thankfully santa was not delivering this items, all 3 molds should be done in about week and half which puts them at about 3 1/2 weeks that is only 3 more days than the estimate, after they are done they will be shipped out by sea (about a months worth), to somewhere in Asia land It'll take them another month 1/2 to 2 months to complete the bumpers and the hoods, finally another trip back and we should be getting these sometime around late May or June perfect for when people start getting their stimulus checks
Or perhaps something more aggresive?
Maybe something more subtle? LOL LOL LOL

This is true about containers. I ordered in 300 tool cases for my business, which measured 66x18x30 and shipping by a container only cost $12 each from china.

I work in imp/exp industry and we ship mainly books. These things cost pennies per copy to ship. Most major publishers print books in Hong Kong. South China to Long Beach is 13 days. Like J said, customs clerance adds couple of days and hopefully US Customs doesn't request inspection, cause then you looking at both additional days and $$$.
The Air shipments are dying out, literally. The rates are "sky" high and the profit margins are minimal these days. Gone are the days where flat screen TVs were overnighted from Japan and Tommy Hilfiger air shipped his cargo.

Looks pretty good so far. Id like to see rear pics. How about an opening like the Stillen front, which gives it a wider look:
Any more pics would be really nice!! Good job so far.

yes I know, I do need a lot of pics to give me an idea on what to change; right now it looks like they only have one side, they want to get this side right before they do the other, but I will definitely ask for lots of pictures,

I also think that they should raise it up some. I think its making the rear look even more bulbous. The valence Im building will be about 3 inches higher than stock, which will make the rear less bulbous. In fact, I realized, I dont even like the Stillen valence since it is slightly lower than stock.
Cuz if does endup looking like a ricer, I'll be ......

Awesome! I don't know if DeusExMaxima was talking about the side of the bumper being raised up an inch or so right behind the wheel. I'm thinking that edge should be the same height as the sideskirt in the pic. Is your car lowered by any chance? I'm just cautious about that area scraping when leaving parking lots.

yeap, im aware of that area and thats exactly what im working on right now, so expect a photoshop later tonite.
and nop, im not lowered, correct me if im wrong but most of the after market springs will lower you about .5" right?

Im talking about having the end of the bumper, at the wheel arch, having a raised vent like the Stillen does in the front as shown in that picture.

alright cool..cause I know a lot of us would be down to buy one..and I'm sure a lip would be much easier to make then a bumper..I found a guy who said he would make one, he was on the g35 forums..but I don't live in cali, and he needed a car to work on..so it kinda died..everything is coming out great by the way..hm might even take a bumper, considering its the only thing that would fit ha.
