this thread was the closest thing to becoming reality. What happened?

Good point Jeff...Check the date on suddenly appearing group buys that are almost filled up.

Did anyone here end up getting one of these?

It was probably worth it if you replaced one damaged in a crash, I think they are comparable in price.

there surely had to be enogh people, I only remember 1 person with one and I dont think it was from this order thing

[nuwde]

i read the bf.c thread and it seems the guy originally asked for $499 shipped then bumped it to $999!!

i think it fell apart shortly after that.

After that group buy fell apart, I did contact another place (http://www.importprecision.com/) that made CF hoods for E30s and E36s.

I did send him this thread so he could provide direct information.

I'm in for a WIDE GRILL if this price point holds true.

They will also need a 'donor' hood.


Here's his latest reply:

Ramon,

If you got 10 I could get them to you at about the normal price we sell
hoods for (approx $300+shipping). I'll need to send a pic over of the hood
and see how hard my guy thinks it will be to make the mold. From there I can
get you a estimate on the mold price, taking into account the order
quanitity.

Shouldn't be too hard, but we do have other molds being made so I will have
to check on an ETA. If you have a forum thread I can reference I can post
information directly.

Regards,

To answer all questions:

1) Shipping to Canada will cost $150-200 more through our product producer.

2) Shipping to South Africa will be very pricey. Don't know how much, but can find out if you email me that you are interested.

3) The hood is full Carbon Fiber and will probably weigh in the area of 15lbs.

If you are interested please email me at Olek@importxdream.com

NOTE TO ALL: I am not the producer, just the GP organizer.

Any more Q's?
Email me if you are interested.

Heyyyy- if you look at International shipping please get a price on ground shipping to Sydney, Australia (insured) also, a few of us Aussies might be interested (me definately). Nick

I'd be interested for $300 for sure, nariusb@cogeco.ca

Far too good to be true fellows... at that price I'd be in, so long as someone interviews the manufacturer to ensure the things can be supplied...

[nuwde]

yeah $300 is low. maybe it's just that great of a deal.
