Carbon Fiber Hood GB

Hello, based on the positive feedback from my CF feeler thread, link->Carbon Fiber hood feeler <-link, I've worked out a GB deal with the distributor locally. Initially, I was skeptical about the price and the workmanship. However, after finding out it's made by C-Wings and saw the product in person, the rest was pretty much covered in the post. Please consider the PROs and CONs of this mod before committing the purchase. A quick search you will find these will cost $400 to $500 + shipping! This GB will get you the same for much less!

Here are the details of the purchase.

• Minimum of 10 buyers, combination of G2 Coupe KA8 and Sedan KA7 bodies
• After the end of GB period, payment must be received to place the order
• These are special made to order and required 6 to 8 weeks of lead time
• Price, $250 for the hood, OEM styling only (non-vented).
• Cost of shipping is the actual freight fee depending destination.
• Each hood is boxed individually; dimensions 62" X 58" X 7"
• Shipping options:
____ 1) Vendor arranges shipping. The destination must be a commercial address (e.g. warehouse, retail shop, capable of unloading truck). This will cost approximately $100 to $160 CONUS.
____ 2) Will call. Pickup can be arranged by appointment. Located in Walnut, CA. $FREE!!!! But local $ales tax apply.
____ 3) Buyer arranges shipping. Once payment received, you can schedule for shipment to pickup from Walnut, 91789. Buyer is responsible for in-transit liabilities. Cost is on buyers $DIME
Payment - PayPal at the end of the GB... date to be determined upon reaching 10 or more buyers.
• Paypal fee of 3% - Your final cost + 3%. For example, at the worst, $250 + $160 + fee of $12.3 = $422.30

If you agree with all the above, please respond via PM with the following details.
1. Forum User ID

2. Personal name

3. Method of shipping (1, 2 or 3 above)

4. Shipping address (must be commercial for #1)

5. Email address

6. Contact # (easiest to reach)

7. Coupe or Sedan
Here's a picture of Mellow Legend CF fitted. Center grill is not included! Click on the image for slideshow.



Buy List:

2. GKONCPT (CA - SF ship = $200 for 4 hoods = $50 each)
3. sugerbear008?? (GA ship = $160)

If anyone's outside of CONUS... to our Canadian brethren, see if shipping option #3 is possible. I can provide the packaging dimension and weight.

Mellofelow, can you get an approximate shipping amount, or how much would be saved if 2 hoods are shipped to the same location (Seattle, WA area)?

Also, if any other Northwest members want to save on shipping by having multiple hoods shipped at once, post-up or PM me.

I will put the shipping price next to the list of buyers just to give everyone a reference. I'll do that as soon as I hear back from the vendor.

If we get some Norcal people together, I'm willing to rent a van and drive down and pick up the hoods... total cost should be about $200.00. otherwise, we could just have them all shipped together to a commercial address and pick them up in person... so far It's just gkoncpt and myself

I'm sure shipping multi hoods to NorCal will be much cheaper than your option above. Just waiting to hear back from vendor... probably on Monday.

Anyone know where to find or get replacement window washer nozzles to fit the CF hood? Black of course.

I had a brief phone call with the vendor today. Each hood will be individually boxed. But to ship multiple to the same destination is $60 for addl'. For example, 1st = $100 (or $160), 2nd = $60, 3rd = $60... etc.

He didn't respond to my email about all the shipping address you guys provided me for a quote. Hope he's more responsive tomorrow. FYI... this is my first time dealing with him on the GB, so... we'll see.

Shipping cost updated next to the confirmation list. As you can see, sharing the cost of shipping is very attractive.

C'mon people... anyone else? Are we not gonna reach 10?
