    But their hood that is comparable to this one, that mounts in the stock location, is $450. If someone could get a large shipment of these sent over; I'm sure they would sell pretty quick.

            Sure.

            Would like to know more about the quality of these hoods, though...?

                the quality looks okay to me.. we can always get more detailed pics. good luck getting anything like that out of IE.

                  I'll DEFINITELY be in for $250 free shipping.. Let's do it. How many do we have so far.. ike 4 or 5 maybe?

                  EDIT: woops. ok so it's $500 for everything with the shipping. I'd still be in. Why not...
                  Does anybody know how much less it weighs than the factory hood?

                          nice thing about fiberglass vs. carbon fiber is that if the hood does not fit exactly right you can fix/ build it up to match. (unlike a cf hood that was mentioned here that was low at the windsheild corners) im down (duh) still haven't heard back from him on the shipping logistics though. anyone interested (and responsable) live in a port city? that would make the shipping cheaper (overseas sahipping container) but then they would need to be forwarded to the proper mainland addreses.

                              yes. ideally, some1 near long beach, CA/ portland, OR/seattle, WA/ Oakland, CA, should recive the bulk for a GB, as these are all major ports where the hoods could be shipped to via ocean...
