This might be the way to get more orders done.
One by One - on a custom basis, get part of it up front
(to cover your costs)
And the rest upon recipt.
Let me know, I am willing to work with you.

Ok, to summarize, looks like( I think I said earlier) I am going to make the stock hood, the "vent" style hood, and the "turbo II" style hood. All will be available in fiberglass and CF. I eventually will try to stock one of each hood so when someone orders I can ship next day.
I have one fiberglass stock hood and should have a carbon stock hood by Mon(09/22).
I will let yall know in a later post on the headlight lids and valance.

Direct,
I really appreciate that!!! I am affraid of how long it will take though to get the mold done on the new parts so I would hate to get 50% and then it take 3-4 weeks before I can deliver.
Once the molds are done I can get parts made in about 2 days so maybe then I will do that. I know it sounds funny but I hate to get money up front incase something happens on my end.
I will get rolling on the valance and let you know.
Thanks!!!

Yes, kind of on the back burner. I did, however, finish the fiberglass vallance and head light lids. If you search...not sure where it is....but I do have a hood with the "vent" in it. There is a pic. on one of the threads...maybe this one??? All I have for hoods is the stock glass hood right now.
For some reason, I cant post pics. anymore?????

So how long until you have the Turbo II hoods done? I was going to buy the fiberglass stock hood and graft on the fiberglass T-II hood scoop but if you're doing it for me, that would be better
How much is shipping for your hoods, and how much do they weigh compaired to the stockers?

The hood weighs approx. 14lbs. vs the factory hood being around 30lbs.!!!
Depending on where you are located, the east coast runs about $85 for shipping plus $35 for the crate I build. If you are on the west coast shipping is something like $135 plus $35 for the crate. I just need a zip code, you can PM me and I will let you know on shipping.
