god damnit every time you make hoods i always seem to just have spent the cf hood money but first off let me thank you marcus for your efforts and for dealing with us here on rpr cuz i'm sure you've seen the old cf hood thread with a billion "status on the hoods" bump and the countless pms you most likely have gotten. as of right now i can't order for sure but i think i'll have some time before the 10 spots are taken up so i may be able to get the money soon enough. however is the $520sih price shipped or just for the hood with an additional fee for shipping? once again i appericate your efforts on this matter and hope you and your friend will be able to work out a steady business deal so that you don't have to go through all this hood maker deal. but can you make a list on your first post with the names of all the people who've paid so i can see how many spots are left? and how do we go about sending payment?

p.s. would cost be lowered if you didn't ask for the hoods to have a latch because now that your hoods would be even lighter wouldn't running hood pins be well advised? i know for a fact i'll be running flush hood pins with mine if i can scrouge up the money in time to get into this batch

Well, im deffenetly intrested. Concedering that I just started my second job today (not to mention every other week I will be bringing home almost $700 w/ two paychecks...), Im down for a 1 piece ZC. I'll PM you when I have the cash.

I also want an oem length zc in fiberglass, any chance of that happening?

[E-AT_me]

mmm. dry carbon looks SICK when not painted.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

mmm i dont have a 1g but id be down for a 3g one if anymore would be made

i think dry cf would be worth the extra price and id rather know that the work wasnt rushed and be more then happy to pay the extra...

but would there be an availability of a oem length cf hood?

[funkmaster]

OEM length hoods would be the only choice for the 3G, there wont be any 3g civic 1-piece hoods. due to the design of the header panel on the 3g, its not really an option. Marcus, if im wrong about this, correct me.

And I was just joking about the mugen length hood, I think it would be almost impossible to integrate the mugen style HP into the hood and have it work well. Put me down for an OEM length FG ZC hood.

damn.. don't own a 1g...... but i'am sure it will look really nice on all the rex's out there....

I have already paid $360 for a one-piece fiberglass hood. So I'm in for a 1 piece flat style fiberglass hood. At this point I don't care if it's perfect. I'd take a test hood or demo piece. This is for my race car so it doesn't have to look perfect, just has to replace the header panel and hood which currently I do not have either.

I still want a 3g CF hood.

Marcus,
One way to get around making a second mold for the hood frame is to use structural foam with a layer of CF or eglass over it. You would place the 1/4 inch to 3/8 flexible foam over the Hood layer in the mold, then cover with the over sheet of CF/eglass, vacuum bag, and cure. End grain balsa wood is another option. Both of these are used as deck cores on boats, large and small, cruise and race. This is also used on race car bodies, and aircraft.

k but every1 i still have dibs on the 1st cf one piece hood! (zc bump preferred)
hahahaha



and $520 even with an extra 100 or whatever shipping isnt bad for a one piece hood that is one of a kind and will save me from replacing that STUPID (#$(*$#*(ING PLASTIC HEADER PANEL ONCE A YEAR!!1111!!

[MrDisibility]

All these replies are great. I think we can start a collection!!!!

We'll just start taking order and whatever gets to 10 pieces first wins. Sounds like it will be the zc one

Marcus

[b16cRex]

1 peice zc sounds great, what do i do to place an order?

[rollz87civic]

[toxicshit]
