cool. thanks for the updates ^^

tacsniper · 08-05-2007, 09:03 PM

Are we going to have a group buy to get a discount? If so, to help save on shipping, you can ship all the Canada orders to me and I will spread it out through Canada Post to other Canadian Yaris owners...

cali yaris · 08-05-2007, 09:06 PM

sure, I can start up a group buy over in the Classifieds section. Think we can muster up 8 buyers?

yrsdrgn · 08-05-2007, 10:16 PM

yea i'm pretty sure eight people will be wiling to buy carbon fiber hoods for cheaper (i'm still undecided on vented or unvented)

DMart · 08-05-2007, 10:47 PM

i'd buy one for cheaper...

yrsdrgn · 08-05-2007, 10:53 PM

i dont mean this to be mean or anything but I'd sorta like to see the quality of the product before I consider purchasing because I've been looking around at a lot of different sites for prices on hoods and this seems really reasonable and I'm only in Nor Cal ^^

tacsniper · 08-05-2007, 10:54 PM

if we can get 8 or more, what will be the price on it?

It's for when it's raining out or whatever. It would need to be removable.

1. I will post pictures -- lots of pictures -- before I post the group buy. I want you all to know exactly what the hood looks like, top and bottom, before you commit. I don't know of any pics of other hoods from the bottom.

I intend for this to be as clear and up front as possible -- that's my way.

2. I should have a group price by tomorrow night. I am hoping for some savings if I commit to eight hoods -- would'ntcha think?

3. I am requesting that they consider making a vented hood. They do not have a mold for this right now, so I cannot say when that product might be available. I know someone will put one out -- I hope I can say it's us.

ASHRAF · 08-06-2007, 07:41 AM

I'm 99% up for a vented hood if it wasn't too priceyyy

ASHRAF · 08-06-2007, 07:42 AM

doesn't have to be CF for me, fiber glass or eve plastic will be ok for me

but cowl induction would be the shit on thes car

cali yaris · 08-06-2007, 10:22 AM

the only glass hood I know of (and the only reverse cowl hood) is the Kaminari hood.

redduck · 08-06-2007, 12:43 PM

I would definately be down. OEM is great but a cowl hood would be way sweeter. BTW I used to be a mini-truck guy

ROCKLAND TOYOTA · 08-06-2007, 05:10 PM

but im not gonna pay 500 or more for 1/2 a hood ....

cali yaris · 08-06-2007, 07:55 PM
