what does your old one look like? i need a hood.

i'd say buy it..... but 1 question..... did you forget to put your hood down or did it break and fly up..... i wanna know because i'm trying to see if this happens alot... most people say they forgot to latch it down... was this your case or did it break away and fly.....

with my predator i didnt latch it fully, luckily i was only going 40 at the time. It STILL scared the shit outta me

I got sparco hood pins. Never opened. I didn't wanna use them. If you want them, hit me at eclipse_9d9@hotmail.com. They're brand new in the package, so I'd like to get around retail for them, but I'll eat the shipping charges. :thumbsup

well i thought i had latched it down but my latch assembly was all iced up and i was in a hurry so it was my fault and the latches not really the hoods hey if anyone wants it that thinks they can fix it i'll let get go for close to nuthing

your old hood is mine now heh :D

like ^^^ said old hoods gone and new ones on its way

That hood will be great, not a bad price. Use hood pins this time, mine have saved my XGT hood plenty of times, I have a VIS and I wouldn't trust it without hoodpins. Good Luck on the new, sorry that happened to ya man.

ok so heres an update, im looking thru my emails and i find a letter from nopi telling me the canceled my order because they are out of stock on the hood, they dont even bother putting me on back order or anything they just go ahead and cancel it them herbs so now im pretty pissed of because im back to where i started having no hood and it takes 7 days forthem to process the return to my bank account so it aint like i can find another for a week!!!! ahh im soooo pissed

ok so i called them to see if it was gonna be available and they said helll no the hood was shit so they stoped selling them i asked them about the areogear hood and they said yea we have those but when you proccesessed your purchase there was an error in our system and instead of being 50 for shipping its going to be 150 oh man im so madd i need a hood!!!!!! i want to drive my car already does no one feel my pain

That sux man, I feel you on the Nopi deal. They canceled my order for fog lights and didn't bother to tell me a thing. Extreme Dimensions offers a OEM C/F hood for $375 or Import Trenz sells them for $399, unfortunately shipping is gonna be a bitch on something that big. You might wanna try and find a local speed shop that can get you one, or find somewhere you can pick up. Hoods are xpensive, espcially for a good one. Sorry and Good Luck

shoot when the time comes I'm just gonna make my own. it'd be fun

Intense motorsports has a oem style carbon fiber one for 375

yea man but they want 277 for shipping thats outrageous

yea nopi's not very good about giving you full billing info an stuff... they held on to an order i placed for like more than a week b/c there was an error processing shipping charges. when i finally called them to find out what was going on they told me it would like $70 instead of the $20 i was quoted on the site to ship a STB and bumper lenses... needless to say i cancelled the order. shipping to hawaii sucks but it's not supposed to be that bad for something simple like that.

haha yea prices here sucks jimmy at wmr wants 800 for the hood and that just oem and not double sided damn rip offs shit sometimes living in hawaii sucks

jus check ebay mang. You'll get it for about $370 and like $150 shipping, or you could talk to your body guy and see if you can get it shipped there to save some loot. Its always cheaper to ship it to a business address.

ihave a busness addy but it still aint much diffrnt

where are you located man? I just got one for 380 shipped. OEM style from a shop that just openned up here near my house.

man your in calli everything comes from calli im on the east coast

lol All the body ish is in cali, but all the good engines and parts cars i find are in the east coast. lol . Anyways I talked to the guy ( might be getting a job there pretty soon) and he said he might be able to do it for 390 or a bit more shipped.

He doesnt like the STAR kits for ours , pretty smart guy...uhm getting off topic.

hey man if you can do around 390 that would be really cool
