its shipped to you. pm me if you want in

 

are these for 5th gen as well

 

bump, any words on the hoods? does anyone know how they are coming out?

 

Im in!!!!

Talked to a guy from customcarbons and he said the hood was probably around 15 lbs. So that means to me that its probably somewhere in between 15-20. Stoked!!! Im paypaling tomorrow or friday depending on when I get paid. Hopefully this will bring the total up to 5 and we are getting our goods!!

 

werd.... I hope they start coming soon. one thing is for sure im 300 dollars poorer, and I want it Now!

 

Yay!! Time to run a little lighter, and start an after christmas diet to loose as much wieght as the hood.

 

they told me that hte hoods sould start shipping after the 1st of the year.

 

i live about half an hour away, im thinking of taking a little drive around there.

 

Didnt get paid today, should be tomorrow. Will paypal hopefully tomorrow morning. Actually, since I promised, I will definately paypal tomorrow morning even if I have to borrow the cash!

On a different but related topic, is anyone going to get hood pins? I definatley need to since I hope to be going fast on the track. Anyone got a good source for them?

 

yes I too would like to know if we need hood pins. I hope we dont

 

The guy from customcarbons said "yes, if you plan on driving high speeds"

Nuff said!

 

hmm what exactly is high speeds, like 50? cause that is as fast as I ever go, hehe. So where to get hood pins, black hood pins.

 

hood pins is always a good idea with any fiberglass or carbon fiber hoods.

 

i got some gunmetal hood pins for 15 bucks off ebay.... good quality, they are called nin

hey im in, i can send money tomorrwo if needed cause id have to deposit tomorrow, one question i need the hood to have winnshield holes and also the oem latch does the hood come with oem latch?

 

<----- PAID!

and.. Stoked! I got a question for yall- actually seconding the earlier question from MaxInProgress. Is the latch going to be working on this hood?

If not, I would go for this - locking hood pins.

If so, I probably would still go for it- since it is a bit more subtle and I dont really love the look of pins sticking up on a hood.



(heres the link to the auction)

Anyone else starting to wonder about a CF trunk? (hahah- havent even gotten the hood yet)

 

Oh yea and I also second the question about windshield fluid holes.
Also, anyone know if there is a writeup for installing the hood and pins?

Yup, same here!

Fat and high carbs are...

 

sorry man, but i really dont think they come with windshield washer holes

 

there will not be wiper holes.

those locking hood pins can be a PITA to install.
i recommend any sparco style hood pins.
i am in a inventory nightmare at work. i had to work today on my day off. so i will try to keep everyone posted.


happy new year

frank

 

go home man, drink it up, its the new years.

 

yay the first hopefully they start shipping mon

 

will shipping take longer since its a big pakage? damn i just cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey, I noticed that the writeup for a CF hood install isnt working

*How to install a carbon fiber hood http://www.seas.ucla.edu/~cheston/cfhoodinstall.html

Anyone got the info or an alternate site for a writeup?

 

take off old hood, with a buddie for help. then bolt on new hood. whew that was hard

 

dude you forgot the case of beer part....

 

oh damn, i knew i forgot something.

 

anyone know whent hese will be shipped?

 

Ive already asked for a weight but didnt get one, carbon fiber is for reduced weight but i dont see the mention of weight loss?? I need to know the weight of this hood please

 

I paid on x-mas eve but never posted here because I have not been online since then, but if anyone was wondering I paid well over a week ago

 

the guy just said it was 15 lbs so expect it to be between 15 and 20 pounds....

and how would u put the washer nozzles on there?

u can get hood pins painted black and then ionized so they will never rust.....dathrillr has these black hoodpins for sale and they are ionized i think he only has 2 pair left...i saw them in person and they are sick....that locking hood pin idea is awesome...id disable the lock period if i had that.....as long as the key for all of em arent the same.....

 

its raining hard here in so cal, so i dont kow if that will affect the shipping, as far as i understood the shipping was going to start today. and the weight is 15-20, as previously posted. and also keep in mind, to loose .1 seconds in a quarter mile you would have to loose approx 100 lbs.

 

how much does the stock hood weigh?

 

i want to say 40....
Cool, do you know who he is shipping with Fedex, Dhl..... And is he letting us know, I dont want to not be home when they come

 

no idea who he is shipping with, i dont know who is getting the first hood. anyone know anything?

 

That VIS 4th gen hood is nice, are those grills or air ducts actually functional? Anymore pics?

 

Ahh..no gain from weight loss is HP divided into weight and assuming traction stays the same.
And if any carbon hood company wants my sale i need a exact weight ,i have a carbon trunk which is getting painted and the hood will to. I just want it for weight reduction a 10-15lb hood is perfect.

 

I dont know, I ordered mine on Dec 18 at 530am....
Anyone order before that/after that..... we will be able to tell shipping order if you post it

 

dang you guys are freaken antsy. let me give them a call right now.

 

they started making the first hood.
hoods sould start shipping this thurs assuming there are no hold ups in production. gary told me he would let me know when when each hood goes out.

frank

 

hmmm i thought shipping was going to start the first of the month? oh well. i understand about hold-ups. but either way still antsy.
