I'm just seeing if there is a market for first gen carbon fiber hoods because I know someone I could probably get to make some if he knew he had a market. They would be one hell of a lot lighter than the standard hood, look very cool (personal opinion I guess), and they would probably be between 500 and 900 dollars. So give a reply if your interested.

I've had my hood off several times. Not to shoot down that idea, but the stock hood is fairly light to begin with. At least on 1st gens

not at that price thanks, My car only cost me $950, and most 1st gen owners piad less than 2 grand for thiers, so I do not think a $500 to $900 hood would be a hot seller.

$ 500 - $900 dollors, nobody is going to pay that,,for just a C.F. hood.

you start talking $ 400 dollors.. and theres your market...just because its

C.F. doesn't mean its GOLD..if one wants to produce and sell a product

there are 2 ways to do this,,(1) ask a price that is WAY, way to high and

nobody buys it...= full wherehouse, and empty pockets,,, (2) ask a price

that will move the product,, = an active wherehouse,workers,,,working,

money,,,comeing in,,,and product going out..so what,,don't even think

that your going to BANK,,hell no !! at least not for the first year....

even if some person will make custom body parts,to a few people..thats to much money to trust some kid that might change his mind ,,or person...

the key to sales,,,,make it a price, that people can't refuse,, just like the

guy who didn't pay the rent,,,but he'll be sleeping in his car,,but his hood

is carbon fibre,,,god damn it !!!.....thats a story that sales mgr's love to hear...ok ,, G'luck

I paid $175..for my car...I bought it to customize and race it ..I dont care I have more into parts than what the car cost me ...Thats why I bougth it cheap ..so I can afford to buy **** for it ..not like buying a $3000. car and then dumping another 3k in it



But a $500.-1000$ for a hood is out of the question..

Remeber its a first gen.. not many people like them..cause its old* there for demand for this will be a handfull..
