    Sucky pic, and it does seem to have the fitment issue mentioned earlier.

      It should be able to fit fine, you just need to play around with it during installation if it doesnt fit like you want it to.

        LOL is it refundable if it does not fit "fine."

        I was all excited on the first page, but as I read more, I lost interest. And $175 shipping... good Loard!!! You shipping it in a crate surrounded by alcantara?

        This reminds of the mobile audio guys on ebay where they sell stuff out of a catalog and then drop ship to "their" customers.

          Every fiberglass body part and most carbon fiber replica hoods and trunks need to be played with to make it fit 100%. Not just our products. On my e90 I was going to test fit an amuse replica trunk from a reputable company that had good fitment and their trunk still needed to be played with. I never got around to test fit it but I did see a post from that company saying that.

            Hmm... If shipping goes down on these or I can find someone to go in on it with me, locally, then I might pick one of these up. Not to bash or anything, but one of the guys I'm on ebay has theirs listed at $390+$150 shipping to BOTH residential/business address. Plus we can make an offer too ;).

            I'd rather support an enthusiast, though, so if I do find someone local that wants one or get too drunk and make the executive decision to buy one I'll hit you up. Good luck man.

              That's Shahe's car from like 5 years ago.

              That picture is useless, it's matched up with aftermarket fenders.

                Alright, Ive seen some ebay auctions but the ebay auctions that I have seen was 140 business and 190 residential shipping. I wish i could lower shipping but I am not the one that sets that price and have tried talking it down but just cant. I already talked the prices of the hoods down as much as I can

                  Well at least you tried. That's the part that is non-negotiable with the guys on ebay. The price of the piece, however, is. That's what I'm gonna try to do with the seller.

                  EDIT: the hood in my sig is a VIS

                    So they are telling you how much shipping is right? See they (your supplier) are using that as part of their profit. It probably costs them $80 or less to ship that hood. Damn the overpricing of shipping trend that Ebay started!:neutral:

                      yeah they might make a profit but there really isnt anything I can do. I mentioned it more than once and I said people were complaining but I cant go any lower. And the hood was priced higher before but I talked them down as much as I could also.
