GB Interest: RE-Amemiya FC3S Turbo II Hood Scoop Vent!

jorx7 asked to see if we can get a GB going on the discontinued RE-Amemiya FC3S Turbo II Hood Scoop Vent, if I can make them for you guys - which I'm sure I can. So...lets get the list going, and we'll see if we can get the ball rolling on this one!

Thanks!

1) Slow down; I gotta find the part first (unless 95nracer lets me use his )

2) Cool...sounds like there's def. enough interest.

3) Pricing, I have no idea. It's too early to tell. While I try to keep prices as low as possible, plz keep in mind that for anything and everything I make, I emphasize quality over cost (within reason of course). And of course, the # of parts we sell will directly impact the cost.

4) Yes, I'd be happy to offer different materials (fiberglass, metal, or CF). But each material will prob. require a minimum # of orders, because each material is made differently and thus requires a different mold/jig to be made.

fdnewbie if no one can come up with a doner re. scoop . i have a spare t2 scoop i can send you with an out line of the opening from the hood itself. and maybe you can work some magic. and make a custom one.

I think that 95nracer is probably a nice guy, but what purpose would he have (or anybody else for that matter) to offer it? Seriously the guy had his car recently painted and everything matches paint wise. I would think there needs to be something in it for him to do that. When I see everyone else like shine and JKL racing Eng. put something on like this, they pony up and go obtain the piece and re-sell it after.

Well I'd be happy to pay 95nracer to use it, so he could get the part back and even paint-matched again if need be...

Thanks,

That looks slick,I'd be in for one.With a little bit of triming of the hood underneath, it would even be somewhat more functional, rather then mostly for appearence
