I was told it will only take a couple of day to make our order once i pay the $3000 deposit.
still waiting a a few more payments, then i will pay the $3000..they will make the hoods, ship them to the Miami, then i will pay off the balance and they will ship them to me.

Can you update the GB list.
Posted By: ssmumich00_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 08/30/02 04:04 PM
Jeremy,
Could you give us all an update? I sent my check out weeks ago and haven't heard from you about when things will get shipped out, etc.

Suneil
Posted By: nick10_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 07:17 AM
Whats the price without the group buy? any pics yet?
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 01:27 PM
there are no original cost or pics because we are the first group to get them...thats why it took so long because we had to get a mold made for our hoods.


the update is...I'm waiting.

I recieved 6 or 7 payments.(i'll double check tonight)
still need a few more to pay the $3000.
if i don't get it by next weekend, i should have some extra money by then and i'll use my money and then those other people will have to pay me back.

I have to pay an initial $3000 so they will make the batch (takes about 3 days) and ship to Miami. then I will pay off the balance which will be around $2500-$3000 and then they will be shipped to me.

so...if i've recieved 7 payment ..that's $2240
there are still 11 people that haven't payed.
as long as i can get 2 or 3 more so i can pay the first $3000 that will be good, so at least things can get rolling...i'll worry about the balance after we get past this.
Posted By: SVTnKC_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 02:46 PM
Man Jermey get on these guys @$$'s i want to get this thing done! You guys that haven't paid Jeremy yet! COME ON! it's been like 5 months for you to get 350$ together ...let's go! Anyway, Thanks for the update Showtime, let us know if you recieve any more payments! THANKS~ Also, if you have any people back out...and no-one else wants in, i'll buy a second one! COOL?!? K LATA~
Posted By: brian8064_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 06:00 PM
Why not have some sort of first to pay first to recieve thing start..Theres always going to be people backing out and from the looks of it more people are trying to get in..I would make a deadline for the payments until you open it up for new people to join in...just a suggestion
Posted By: zts4u2nv Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 07:54 PM
Like me, I didn't get in the group buy. But I would like to get this hood and I do have the money for it right now. Please let me know if I could get in on this.
Posted By: gene420_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 08:26 PM

Posted By: SVTnKC_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/03/02 11:03 PM
This is YOUR GB Showtime...but i kinda agree with these guys....YOU SNOOZE you LOOZE! Give these guys a dealine and say, send the payment or get dropped, you've got eagar people waiting! Anyway i'm not trying to tell you what to do and I don't mind waiting...i've already payed!~ So, i'm just chillin...but getting these soon would be nice! TAKE it easy!
Posted By: DJCASPER2 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/04/02 01:23 AM
Hey man they have a good point, but it is up to you, How was your get away?
Posted By: onosway Re: CF hood group buy - 09/04/02 03:16 AM
i need hood

torch the slackers!
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/04/02 02:15 PM
what i plan on doing is this:
buy the end of next week or begining of the week after i should be getting a decent cunck of money for my college graduation present.
What i'm going to do is take the money that you guys have paid me..aprox $2200 cover that extra $800 or so dollars so i can pay the first $3000 to get the hood shipped to the states.

once the company in miami has the hoods and wants the balance paid off so they can ship them to me, i'm going to set a deadline.
if the remaining people still haven't paid, i'm going to have to send back their $95(which i was hoping to avoid)
and take new people at $415 per hood...which is what everyone paid ($95+$320)

hope this makes sense.

depending on how much coin i get for graduation i might pay off the entire order so i get get this done with, but then everyone is going to owe me...and i just don't want to end up loosing money on this buy.

So the ball will be rolling no later then late next week.

I understand that all of you want this to speed up, but i don't want to be a dick and cut people out, but if it gets to that i just might have to.






Posted By: ssmumich00_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/04/02 03:24 PM
Jeremy,
That's really cool of you to put yourself out like that, but COME ON GUYS, I think it's really dickish of the people that committed and are circling the drain to make a student use his GRADUATION money for our group buy, just so things can get done faster. People, get your act together and send him the remaining money so no one else has to be inconvenienved anymore, especially Jeremy.

Posted By: GR8SVT_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/04/02 11:00 PM
I know I'm not in this group buy and probably should keep my mouth shut, but come on guys....live up to your word....There have been WAY too many group buys like this where the guy who sets it all up has to worry about chasing you guys down for the money.

If you wanted in before and said you were in - he took your word for it. Don't screw around.....get it done.

i've got the flame suit on so go ahead.....this is just my opinion and I hope it doesn't come down to showtime using his graduation money to get this done.

Honestly, I agree. Sort of. LOL Many group buys end up dying off, but not for reasons most people suspect. Right now I'm overloaded with paying off a Bnoon block, this CF hood buy and I just joined the MSDS header GB. Sometimes people just spread themselves too far, like creamy peanut butter.

Know what? It's just best if you own up to it. Let us know if you're just too taxed right now (we all are) so we can plan accordingly. It's ok.
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/05/02 01:22 PM
Guys...good news the email worked.

I got a few responses back...enough to pay the first $3000
the check should be in the mail in a few days, so by the end of next week we should be good.

Hopefully everyone will get in touch with me and get the money together

So to all you guys who have paid...thanks..and by the end of next week hopefully i'll have all the money/checks to pay for the first $3000.
I'll have to wait a few days for the checks to clear, but that routine.
I'll let everyone know once i've paid the first $3000

So, showtime, I forgot, are our hoods any better than the ones that are being offered by the other GB on CF hoods? I already sent the money to you, so it's a done deal, it's just kind of frustrating that another GB pops up while ours finishes (lord knows we've been loyal to the end). .especially since they can get those predator vents or whatever the hell those things are , better cooling I guess. . .

I've seen pics of hoods this company has made for hondas/acuras and they look really nice...very good glossy finish. I think you'll be satisfied



I'm not knocking the other group buy cause i haven't read anything about it, or know any thing about the company. I'm just not big on vents/scopes etc...
i travel a lot and when the weather is bad I'm not trying to get tons of dirt/crap on the engine...that just makes more to clean.
Posted By: SVTnKC_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 09/18/02 05:16 AM

sorry bout that...i wanted to have some news for you today.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 10/14/02 01:58 PM
if everything goes right I will make payment tomorrow, and I will have some news for you tomorrow afternoon sometime.
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 10/15/02 07:06 PM
Good news.....

First payment has been made!!

I ordered 24 hoods (if all the people pay that will be about 6 extra).
Since i got extra I had to pay for part of the deposit with my own money.
Its cool, cause I'm sure there are a few people that want one of the extras.

The only snag is that since its the middle of the month they don't know how may will get shipped..the order might get split.
He said he is going to put in the order for 24 and whever gets done will get send over on the next container, and if its not all 24 the rest will come in the next container.
He said it would be better that way instead of rushing the order so the quality is not comprimised to make a deadline.



Here is a list of people that have paid:
Sergey V.
Neil M.
Conor S.
John P.
Suneil M
Eric. G
John W.
Joshua R.
Jon C.
Ash
Jeff S.
Jason B.


These are the people who haven't paid:
Amy G.
Evan C.
Gabriel O.
Mvalen8023 (anyone know this guy) i don't have an email address for him


these 2 I'm adding to the list
Bernie W.
Bobby N.
I have spoken with both if these guys and they are very interested. So Berine and Bobby give me a ring or drop me an email so we can work out payment arangements. $415

jmayhew@fcas.pitt.edu
412-512-3730


So for everyone else....I will probably have a few extra hoods. I won't know exactly how many until i recieve all the payments, but there definately will be some.
so either send me an email or give me a ring and i'll put you on the list and we'll talk about payment arangements.

I was told about 6 weeks. roughly...he said it depends on how quick the shipment gets here from overseas.

Just a Note to the people who haven't paid
the names are listed in red 9 posts back.
Top of Page 10

I'm trying to wait as long as possible, but if you don't pay soon, i'm gonna have to return your $95, and take on new people.

Sorry, but I can't wait forever, I already dipped into my own cash to cover some of this. I don't want to end up taking a loss, becuase some people won't pay.

If anyone know any of those people listed in red, let them know they need to pay me ASAP


thanks
Jeremy

i would like to know about the cf hood you guys are making i have 96 contour so if anyone could please post or pm more some info it would be appreciated thanx
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/14/02 02:23 PM
the hoods are for 98+ contours
won't fit a 96

The people who still haven't paid need to get me their money ASAP....these hoods should be getting here in the next 2 weeks.
If i get the call that they are in Miami in the next week or so and i have to pay the balance so he can ship them to me, and people still haven't paid...i'm gonna give them 3 days and if i don't hear from them, i'm gonna sell to someone who can pay.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/15/02 03:15 PM
IF!! thats a big if (so please people don't send me tons of email asking of you can get one cause i don't have any extras yet.)

So IF i have any extras they will be around $415
if you pay through paypal it will be a little more.

Posted By: Conor7seven_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/18/02 07:09 PM
1 week..........HEHEHE.

hey showtime, did you ever find out if there was a way to fit the hood inside the car for transport? I remember talking to you about it and you said you thought you might have a way of doing it? Seems impossible, but then again, so does getting a CF hood for a contour.....
Posted By: StreetConcepts_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/20/02 11:54 AM
the hood will definately not fit in the car for transport
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/20/02 02:24 PM
i don't know yet....my friend fit a CF hood in his accord.
in the back seat. I don't know how he got it in there but he did.
anyway....if they don't fit, when we have the meet just bring a different car....do most of you have a friend or family member with a truck/SUV?


my friend has a chevy 2500HD quad cab so thats what i'll be bringing them in.


Posted By: Conor7seven_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/20/02 04:33 PM
For all us Michiganders, depending on when the meet is, I could potentially drive my f150 quad cab to the meet and transport all the hoods back to the detroit area? It's really dependand on when the meet is, but it might be a good option.

How many of us are from michigan?

Conor



Conor...i'll have to find out where everyone is, but i know a few are in central-eastern PA, NY, MD, so i was gonna have a meet in central PA so it was close for everyone, but if your gonna drive from Michigan, We could do 2 meets one in central PA, and another in Ohio somewhere...Like Akron or something.
At least that would cut 4-5hrs(each way) out of your driving.

Even if your just coming for your hood I cold meet you in Ohio somewhere so you don't have to drive so far...Like Summit or somewthing. I'm in Pittsburgh so Summit is like 1-2hr or so away

we'll work something out.

thanks for the offer



Posted By: woz_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/20/02 09:44 PM
Showtime: Since I am in the burg like every other month (more over the holidays) and assuming we can get these into the SVT or my girls POS 93 Jetta (hatchback + fold down seats).

If needed, I can pick up any hoods bound for the Phil, NJ, MD, NYC area.

I live about 3 miles from the PA Turnpike (2 turns)
30+ minutes to downtown Phily
2 hours from NYC downtown
2 1/2 from downtown DC.

Just an offer if needed. (helping a fellow CEG save a buck or 2)

When do you expect to have them?

Hey showtime my name has changed and so has my location. I used to be ry0077. I am now quiet far from you so I was wondering if you had some plan to ship or what. I am writing a PM anyways but oh well. For those that are not near the east coast or Philly how does that work?

Funny, my wife's old best friend lives in Mentor! Funny to hear that cities name again after some time.

Showtime, I will be up to the PA meet whenever it comes around to pick the hood up.
Posted By: Conor7seven_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/22/02 08:19 PM
maybe you're wife's old best friend is my girlfriend ...anyways. So I got real scared when I heard thatboat sunk...thought our hoods might be on it. Luckily it was only 8 zillion gallons of oil.. stupid boats...

So our hoods are lost in transit right now I guess.....
Posted By: ssmumich00_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/22/02 08:38 PM
I'm in Houston,TX so I'll need it drop shipped directly to me, even though I'll be in the NJ area for Christmas. . .wait, I could check it in as an oversize baggage, right? Thing is, Airlines treat boxes like [censored], so invariably, it'll BREAK, and I'll be screwed. . .okay, Showtime, ship 'er away to me. . .whenever we get them. . .

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 11/25/02 03:14 PM
Conor...

There are two guys that live in Michigan that want a hood.

Paul P. "skrilla187" and "markusSVT"

Paul is sending out the money, and markusSVT is going to get one of the extra since it seems like these other people don't want to pay, and he is will to pay now.


anyway I just wanted to let you know that they wanted to pick up their hoods and i told them you were coming from Michigan and maybe you could work something out with them to get theirs too.

hopefully you guys can work something out.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 12/03/02 08:37 PM
I hope...i'm gonna call them this week.

But i can't pay the balance until these people pay me, so even if they come in, they won't be shipped to me until i pay the balance.

Posted By: woz_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 12/04/02 12:38 AM
OK everyone, it's time for me to vent.

It's well past the time to be a nice guy with those who have not paid $$$ and sell it to people who have. This GB has been going on for -+6 months.... and just silly that some people have not paid.

Dump there inconsiderate A$$'es before there is another shipping delay because of lack of funds.

For those who have only send you part of the cash, then keep some or all as a processing fee. Let them go through the effort to take you to court before you send it back. F-them slackers.

Now it's time for the insult (for all those who did not pay). Your father was a hamster and mother smells of elderberry's . You better pay or I will insult you a second time.

ShowTime, I am not mad at you ( I known you put a lot of effort into this ) but it's just frustrating driving around for months with a big dent in my hood, and it's getting old quick.

Posted By: onosway Re: CF hood group buy - 12/04/02 01:06 AM
Silly CEGers..when will you ever learn, tricks are for kids.

Common guys, I wanted in on the GB months ago and it still hasn't moved?!??!?!

I've moved on but seriously...make the aftermarket grow.

If the Demand side can't even to it's part, how does Supply work?

Please don't put Showtime in a bad position, he's a nice guy.

Very funny! Only you should taunt them a second time.

Wait, was that the castle scene or not? Or was it the Knights who say "Ni"? LOL

Anyway, Showtime, what's the plan if people don't pay? You going to sell the extras? I have one but I might be able to swing two...
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 12/04/02 02:17 PM
thats the plan....once i find out the balance is due...I'm giving everyone a week....if the payments are not recieved then i'm selling to other people.

Antonio is supposed to be taking one.
I think he is send the money this week.
I also just recieved full payment from Paul P.

the only one i'm not worried about is Bernie...he still owes a balance but i've talk with him a number of time and can paypal me the cash when i need it.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 12/09/02 10:10 PM
NEW UPDATE!!!!


Good news and Bad news..

the bad news is that it is going to be about 4 more weeks.

the good news is that all 24 hoods are on there way here...the order didn't get split up.

I talked to the guy today, the container leaves this week and he will get it mid January.

If you haven't been reading....
a while back when i made the first payment, I told you that we paid something like 3 days before the deadline for shipping.

Shiping is like this...container gets sent on the boat first or second week of every month and it takes aprox 4-5 weeks.

So when i made the payment we were trying to get on the mid november shippment it was so late that the possiblity to make the 24 hoods and ship them was slim so he said if they got shipped they all might not be in the same shippment (order would have been split and they would ship what they had made) Well, We didn't make that shipment, and this shipment got delayed a week so all our hoods could make it on the same container.

So to sum it up they are on the way and should be here beginning to mid Jan.

This has been delayed long enough, and i don't want it to get delayed any longer because i can't pay the balance.
So i'm setting the Deadline Jan 3rd. if you haven't paid by then i'm selling to someone else..(gives me a week or so to re-sell)

So for eveyone that has be in this from the beginning...thank you, and sorry for the delay but its difficult when people don't pay!


Everyone who i'm waiting on....get that x-mas money and send in your payment...if not i have no other option but to sell to someone else.

This has been such a pain in the ass, but thanks to everyone who has helped out.

Showtime: I know it's been a pain in the ass, but i am sure that when you get your hood you will be very happy.

Thanks for all the time and effort.

Posted By: chknhwk_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 12/31/02 02:11 PM
Sorry, didn't you order the headers, too? I got the ones for the Vortech and you got the regular ones, right? That's what I'm talking about.

I can't wait for my hood!!
Posted By: svttour2002 Re: CF hood group buy - 12/31/02 05:44 PM
I know that this is off the subject in here but I have the regular headers from MSDS and I am wanting to go to forced induction so if you have the headers I would be interested in trading you.

Jeremy,
Not to be a pessimist, but if no one buys those remaining 4 hoods, what happens to the GB? Dead in its tracks? Aren't the hoods already here in Miami?? Do we all lose our deposit?

It just doesn't seem like it's going to happen, people commit and don't pay, etc. Real frustrating.

Remember this ss...Pessimism blunts the tool used for success!

No i'm not leaving it dead...when we are this close....I'll have to come up with the money myself...it might take a week or two but i'd figure out something.
If i end up having to pay myself..i'll end up selling on ebay or whatever, but they won't be cheap...Since i'm taking a loss, I'll be looking to get my money back + sum.


I got a possible buyer on one more, but he won't have the cash for a week or so.



I'LL STRESS THIS AGAIN!!!
these hoods are in Miami!! They are waiting for me to pay them. So as soon as i pay them and they ship to me you guys can have them...I want to have them paid by the end of next week...so I can have them by the 1st-2nd week of Feb.

SO come on CEGers...we are so close, and there is no more wating...I know ther has to be 3 people on here that would like to save some money on a hood...and think of it this way..we'll be the only poeple with them, or at least OEM style since they have some other GB's going on.

Ok.

I'm going to try to work something out to go pick up the hoods from showtime. So for a fee (much less than shipping costs), I'll bring back as many hoods as I can to Novi, MI where I can store them in my garage until you guys want to pick them up from there.

What I need to know is,

how many people would potentially want me to pick up there hood and bring it to Novi?

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 01/27/03 06:57 PM
3 hoods have been sold....I am just waiting on payment from them

ATTENTION MICHIGAN GUYS!!!
I know someone is planning on meeting me in central Ohio to pick up the michigan hoods....SVTMike99 is also in Michigan and want to get in on this pickup....so if someone in the Michigan group could please get ahold of him and let him know whats up i'd appriciate it...thanks


So as of now I only have 1 left!
at worst i will pay for it and keep it as na extra, but if someone wants it...get in touch with me.

It's so nice when a plan works. goooo showtime!
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 01/29/03 07:50 PM
I just paid for them today!!

I'm not sure when they will get sent out...he told be he has to negotiate the price with the shipping company.
I'll talk to him again before friday to find out when they will go out.

I have a favor to ask of everyone that is picking up their hood or having someone come pick it up for them.


I have to pay this huge shipping fee...i will find out tommorrow or friday, but its going to be like $500-$600

So if everyone could give a donation when picking up their hood like $30 or so to help me out with this cost i'd appriciate it.


I'll keep you guys posted





Posted By: ssmumich00_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 01/29/03 08:07 PM
Jeremy,
Can they ship my hood directly to me in Houston??? It'll be cheaper that way, so I won't have to pay shipping fees TWICE. . .I thought they already covered the shipping in the price of the hood, for $500, they should be able to ship one separately, right??

Let me know ASAP,

here's my address:

Jason....conor will probably pick up your hood, he's been really cool about helping out the Michigan guys....PM him and he should get back to you.
If i talk with him i'll let him know your interested.


Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/03/03 02:08 PM
If your going to need your hood shipped please post your Zip code or PM it to me.
Jeff "kool aid" works for a shipping company so he is going to see what kind of deal he can get us.
Also it would be better if it was being shipped to a business...Frieght companies charge more for a residential shippment.
So if you guys know anyone that owns a business that this could be shipped to it would be better.


thanks

If I have to have it shipped the zip would be 48162. That would be a business adress to if that would help bring the shipping. Thanks, Jason

P.S. when will you know about the shipping?

skrilla,

Conor is picking up hoods an bringing them back to Michigan, so you might want to look into having him pick yours up.
Posted By: skrilla187_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/05/03 03:42 PM
I live about 7 hrs away from where he is though. I am in the sticks. So it would be way eaiser to just send it to me.

Here is whats going on.

my friend is going to go out to my friends shop on Saturday afternoon with his truck and bring a few back to my house (i live 5 mins from downtown Pittsburgh, my friend shop is like 25-30mins form me)

So after Saturday I'll have a few at my house if anyone is in the area and wants to pick one up....just give me some notice and i can be there to meet you.
if its through the week, i don't get home from work until around 5:45-6pm

Next weekend is Valentines day and my wifes Birthday, so I'll probably be busy all weekend.

The Weekend after that i have a friend coming to visit from Boston

So I can't schedule a weekend meet until after the weekend of the 22nd.
Also my friend is going to have to bring the hoods in his truck so i have to find out what his schedule is like.

All the people that I'm shipping them to....I'm waiting on prices from Jeff....it seem like he will give us the best deal. I'll also get some quotes from places around here next week after i get the hoods to my house.


Sorry if i'm holding things up for anyone, but things are hectic this month, and i don't have much free time.


Ash...i know you were thinking about coming to Pgh for the weekend...just let me know. We can hit the clubs or something.

from what my friend told me on the phone about the size...i don't think they will fit in a contour/mistique...so some of you guys might need to make arangements to get a truck/SUV.
this weekend i'll have a better idea about the size once i see them.

Posted By: EuroTour Re: CF hood group buy - 02/05/03 09:38 PM
Skrilla, where in Michigan are you? I am in Grand Rapids. Any closer for ya? I could pick up yours from Conor and you could pick it up from me if thats easier. Let me know.

it will fit in a mountianeer...Ash can out to Pgh to pick up his hood and had an explorer.
we had to take the hood out of the box, but they are wrapped in bubble wrap, and foam, so it still protected, and it fit fine.

it's OK, you can sweat my kit and hood wen i get em!!
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/10/03 02:25 PM
Just some more info for you guys.

I was out at my friends shop on Friday, Putting on the DMD and changing my oil.
Just to see what it would look like, we decided to put the hood on.

First off the quality is really nice...the edges are nice and smooth & the finish is very glossy.

the only thing that is going to be a b*tch is to get it alligned right.
Each arm/hinge has 2 screws. and the hole in the arm/hinge are big, so there is a lot fo play in the alignment of the hood.
After fooling with it for about 30 mins we got it really close the only spot that we couldn't get level was up front by the drivers side headlight, but that might have been able to be fitted better with more time.
The way i'm solving it is to get hood pins.
it seemed like if the back fit right the front was a bit high and if the front was right then the back stuck up....but we weren't to patient with it either.
If any of you are familiar with or worked with carbon fiber..this is always a problem....getting it to fit right.

One other thing we noticed was that the loop in the front for the latch was about 1/4 inch shorter then the stock one.
so we removed the stock latch off the car and drilled out the holes a bit so we could reattach it and it would be higher to compinsate for the loop being shorter.

so what i decided to do is use hood pins (momo pins in the mail) and have the latch just be the safety catch.







Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/10/03 02:35 PM
I just called about my Camera....it was finished on Friday so they said depending on what time friday it should be back at the store for me to pick up either today or Thursday.


So i plan on going out to the shop either wed. or thurs. to fix the DMD....i forgot the put RTV on the keyway and i got a leak. So if my hood pins are here by then i'll probably put the hood on and i'll get some pics. and post them either Friday or over the weekend.

Posted By: EuroTour Re: CF hood group buy - 02/10/03 04:05 PM
Good looking out Showtime. Let us know.
Posted By: 1314_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/13/03 07:06 AM
this thing got pushed to the 3rd page, so i brought it back because i just keep thinking about. who picked their hood up and why haven't they posted some pics? showtime, you sure you don't want to spend valentine's weekends giving us all our gifts ?
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/13/03 02:16 PM
my wifes B-Day is on Valentines day, so i don't think she would appriciate that too much

I'm going to try to put my hood on today....I got my MOMO hood pins in the mail yesterday.

Ash & chknhwk have their hoods so if they don't have pics up soon, i should have some up by monday.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/14/03 01:52 PM
I got it on yesterday....with the hood pins its fits decent!

I should have some pics up by monday.


I haven't talked to Ash or Chknhwk but they might have some pics too.

Jeff "kool aid" is supposed to give me a call this weekend...to get his discount he has to ship them from his work, so he might come out here to pick them up then take them back to ship them....we're gonna try to work something out.

I'll have some prices for you next week no matter what.
hopefully Jeff's discount prices & regular prices from here.

Posted By: Conor7seven_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/14/03 06:01 PM
static,
do you have a website on where we could get those hood pins?

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/14/03 06:19 PM
I got MOMO hood pins, but I think all the top end company have them made by the same people.

I think the MOMO's and SPARCO's are basically the same.

just don't be cheap and get APC's or something like that...don't want to take a chance on the rusting.

Posted By: chknhwk_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/15/03 10:03 PM
I picked up my hood yesterday and can you believe I haven't even looked at it yet?? What's wrong with me!

If it hasn't snowed too bad on Sunday morning I'll take pics and put them on my site then. (I would now but I'm at work...)
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/17/03 02:51 PM

I totally understand. Just check out the PICS and you'll see we got lots of snow. Just go to the section for my modifications and look under "Aesthetics" and click on the link for the hood.

I do not have a job that 'closes down' due to weather. In fact, the worse the weather the busier we are. I am a dispatcher for line men and I was required to go to work.

However, after spending several hours on a quad with a plow I finally got one car out and couldn't even go anywhere!!!

So, I spent my time to trek through 24+ inches of snow to get you guys pics. (Go ME!!!!)

These are just quick pics with what patience I had left to be outside. I will have pics up of the weight of the hood compared to the stock (still has hood liner and everything) on my website once I get the time.

I'm not entirely 110% happy with the pics but they'll have to do for now.

BTW, I saw absolutely NO blemishes/scratches/dents/abnormalities on my hood and so far am very impressed. Emails in the sig and on my site if anyone has any ?'s.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/18/03 04:11 PM
well i was going to see if Jeff could get the discount but people don't seem to fell like waiting on him, so as soon as i can get around in this snow, i'm gonna get prices from freight shipping places around here...and then you guys can decide to wait on Jeff or pay the regular price.

if you decide on Jeff, then when he gets his hood, he will have to take yours back to NY and ship from his work to get the discount.

Posted By: skrilla187_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/18/03 06:23 PM
Just gimme some prices and times and I'll decide. Thanks alot Showtime.

GOOD NEWS!!


I've been making calls and getting bad news/high prices on shipping.
BUT....I called greyhound and the box size just fits into there limits. and its about $50 or so depending on destination and the exact size weight of package (i gave him estimates on the phone)

So what I'm going to do is go to the shop this weekend to pick up a packaged up hood (the one at my house is out of the box)
take it to the greyhound station with eveyones zipcodes and get exact prices for everyone.
i'll let you know as soon as i can, and then you can send me the money or paypal it, and then i'll send them off to you.
does everyone have a greyhound station near them to pick up the package?

So figure on aprox $50

if you haven't PM or emailed me your address please do, so i can get you a price.



Posted By: SVTnKC_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/20/03 09:03 PM
As long as they cover the items they ship and they have insurance, i don't want mine going ANYWHERE without safe covereage!!! But i have one local i just called the operation and checked~~~ Just in case here's my ZIP. 64152 or 64151. THANKS

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/21/03 04:48 PM
Just a Heads-up for you guys...

I'm going to be shipping these things in the box....when you go to pick them up you might have to take out of the box to trasport.

they will not fit into small SUV's, station wagons etc.. in the box.

to transport in the box you will need a regualar truck.

Even here i have to rely on my friend with the truck to pick up the hoods and take me to the greyhound station to ship them.

Posted By: SVTnKC_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/21/03 11:28 PM
So does the GREYHOUD do insurance or what? or do you know yet... if you don't please ask~! I want my baby covered!!!

So my understanding is that there is no way around using hood pins? Anybody that has the hood already found anyway to install it with out hood pins?
Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/25/03 01:52 AM
i think you could go without pins...it will just take a while to get it to sit right.

i wasn't patient enough, plus i like hood pins, so thats why i did mine that way.


Posted By: Conor7seven_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/25/03 02:32 AM
Dudes who I was in contact with about picking up hoods.

considering the time/gas/milage it would take me to pick up the hoods, I think it will be cheaper for all of us if showtime ships them greyhoud (assuming this goes through)
so as of now, thats what I'm plannin on. Sorry if this is a big pain for anyone but for that cheap, I can't see it being worth it to drive to get them with a gas guzzling truck.

Fitment is good not perfect but good...it does have the 2 points on each side of the oval.
I say the fitment is about 90-95%...i've never seen a CF hood fit 100% perfect anyway so all in all i think its decent especially since the quality is in the finish is so good.



Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 02/25/03 02:32 PM
since it seems like more people want greyhound i'm going to need Addresses from everyone.

the hood will go to the greyhound station closest to your zip code.

I plan on going down to get prices on Wed. or Thurs. so everyone try to get me your addresses by then.

i will post the prices by this weekend, and then as soon as you get me the $ i will send it off.

the greyhound station is only like 5 mins from me, but i have to ask my friend to take the hoods in his truck, so i will probably be doing 2 shippments every week until they are aall shipped out.

gotcha. my buddy has a cf hood on his accord and the fitment isn't perfect either. and it's from a reputable company. i didn't think it had the two points on the side of the oval, but if you say so .

last time a talked with him he said he was not going to sell to the public...so we have the only 24 in existance.
He said if i wanted more he would sell directly to me, but it would take 6wks or so to have them shipped from overseas again....i don't think i will be ordering anymore any time soon...its a pain in the ass dealing with all of it.

Actually I took the latch off, drilled about 1/4 inch down and then dremeled out between the old hole and new one, to make one big "square". Bad news is that 1/4 inch may not be enough, I still have to push fairly hard on it to make it click the second time. I am going to drill down another 1/8" and check it again maybe Thursday when I have time.

Still having trouble with the front fitment though, even with the latch done the drivers side is about 1/2" above the corner panel, and you can actually barely see inside the engine compartment through the gap. Most likely getting a set of hood pins in the near future.

If anybody needs technical advice, PM me.

Heres a lil info for you guys who want to get what you want in life...or just get your hood out of the grimy Greyhound guys hands I pulled up to Greyhound at about 9:55. The signs says they're open until 10:00. So i'm thinking cool i'm getting my hood. I walk inside and the guys says that they close the Package Express at 9:30! I said "are you kidding me? Your sign says 10:00! I don't thikn you get it! This hood has to be on a customers car at 8 in the morning for a car show this weekend." Guess who walked away with their hood in hand?!

Got mine yesterday.
I took it out of the box and it fit right in my trunk perfectly with the seats down obviously. I could have fit like 10 of them in there.
I have it sitting in my living room letting the Zaino dry. A couple more coats and on it goes.

Thanks Showtime,

They are supposed to call you...someone here will have to let you know the process of picking it up...probably have to show ID





Posted By: EuroTour Re: CF hood group buy - 03/08/03 05:02 PM
They do call you at whatever number you gave Showtime. But just remember their offices close earlier than there signs say so be prepared! No ID needed. Just your name. If you're bringing it home in the box it is VERY LARGE! Fits SNUG in the back of a minivan.
Posted By: thepakrat Re: CF hood group buy - 03/08/03 10:47 PM
Update on hood fitting. I dremeled out more to make the holes even bigger, which brings the latch up higher. With the latch up all the way I can no longer close the hood at all, fully. I have however found out that the "raising" on the front drivers side is caused by the latch, without the latch, the hood lays perfectly fine.

I took a picture of the latch and what I modified on it, if somebody wants to host it, I'll email it out, cause I know at least one other CEG'er who wants to see it. Let me know.

pakrat....could you email me those pics

i'd like to check them out.

Posted By: showtime_dup1 Re: CF hood group buy - 03/09/03 03:05 AM
Question to all who have recieved their hood....


were the 4 hole (2 on each side) predrilled on everyone hood
I'm talking about the holes to attach to hinges.

I've checked 3 hoods and they all were, but Bobby called me lastnight and said his had that black tape over where the holes should be (4 small pieces of tape)...i told him that maybe the hole were behind them...did anyone elses hood have this??

I haven't talked to him since, so i don't know what the outcome was, but it seemed strange to me.

my hood had the holes open, the 2 I gave to Ash had the holes, and i think i remember seeing them on the 2 pakrat picked up...also there is one in my house out of the box waiting to be picked up by caleb, and it has the holes.
I don't want to open up any of the sealed boxes that are going to be shipped out, so i just wanted to ask the people who got theirs through greyhound if it had the holes?

Posted By: Qwk98svt Re: CF hood group buy - 03/16/03 12:50 AM
I just put my hood on today... And on mine I noticed the sqaurish hook that goes into the latch... The part on the hood, The railing was fatter than on the stock hood so I had to grind that down mybe 1/8 of an inch. Then I dremled out my latch too probably about 1/8-1/4 of an inch to raise it up, and belive it or not it lined up with my grill perfect! BUT then the hood was unstable, when you pushed on it it was very flemsy and would raise either side significatly like rocking a boat. So then I put some thick weather stripping on the fender directly under where he hood meets the fender, right on the edge, So then the hood would fit securly because of it pushing down on the weather striping AND it would keep water from leaking in. I highly recomend the weather stripping! But if you do not want to use hood pins like me, personally I don't like hood pins. This is how I did it. I hope I helped someone out. I will have pics soon!

Well i did this to my hood latch~ Just like 1314 did~ Then i also had to sand my latch on the CF hood down alittle, because it was bent to the side a little and too fat to fit into and latch down~ Other than that she lines up PERFECT! i'll send in some pics when i get them developed!!!

After you dremel the latch can you still use the stock hood? I plan on changing hoods from the stock one to carbon fiber every now and then. Would I still be able to do that after the latch is dremeled?

The latch loop on the CF hood needs to be dremeled - it's too thick (compare the loops between the CF and OEM hoods).

The holes in the latch need to be enlarged/moved so that the CF hood will lock.

If/when you decide to put the OEM hood back on, you will have to loosen the screws on the latch and move it back to the OEM position, and vice versa.

I haven't even started to attempt my CF hood install (don't want anyone to mess it up when the 3.0L goes in) but I was wondering: instead of dremelling out the latches on the hood is it possible to move the mounting points on the car up by removing and butt-welding back onto the frame? Might look cleaner... Any thoughts Pete??

Well, i'd definitely rather go that route, but wouldn't know how to. I need to go to the garage and take a real good look. I totally jacked my stock latch up. My hood seems to have been warped a bit and lining it up was a pain. Using a dremel like the above pic didn't work out because i had to dremel some more material to the right, which barely worked because you don't have a lot of room. So, as of now, it's only held on by the right screw and hood pins (which i think i would've needed anyway. and i painted them black and feel they look ok). I'm ordering another latch lock (20 bucks new from Bill, so i'm guessing a lot cheaper from a junkyard).

I hope someone can find a way to remove the screws before i attempt to.

I haven't even started to attempt my CF hood install (don't want anyone to mess it up when the 3.0L goes in) but I was wondering: instead of dremelling out the latches on the hood is it possible to move the mounting points on the car up by removing and butt-welding back onto the frame? Might look cleaner... Any thoughts Pete??




In theory, that would be ideal. But it wouldn't be realistic for the following reasons:

1. Time - dremeling out the latch vs. moving mounting points and welding

2. Adjustability - by dremeling out the latch, it allows you to "fine tune" the fitment of the hood. If you moved the mounting points and reewlded, you would need to know exactly where to weld it back on. Nearly impossible.

3. Dremeling doesn't look bad. All you see are the original square holes.

4. Appearance - how often does anyone ever look down in there behind the oval and the grille?

Dremeling the latch and hood pins are the only way to keep the hood locked down tight.

What bothers me is the fact that the hood is about 1/2 inch too short, my clearcoat is poorly done around the edges, and the washer nozzle indentations.

Still, looks great though!

I would have to third that! But still better than my stock hood by far!
