The jag ones that say supercharged are 100x better

 

yeah i agree. but also prolly 100x more expensive haha

 

thought of this as im closing my computer down here at work...how about you mix all the ideas...use the jag/aston look with the fins of the SL...here is what 2 mins left at work gets you...

 

Hey i have a carbon business and we are in the process of makein a center consol with cup holders, but we do all sorts of projects small or big. If you want to have a carbon hood made we can do that for less then $7000 if a hood was supplies to cust cost on the mold design. Contack me for more info

i thought about a stainless brushed hood then cleared to match the inside trim and what not

 

hey i just wanted to make sure people didnt forget about this. but ric how much you thinking it will be with a hood given to ya? i dont think your close to illinois but maybe someone closer to you is willing to give there hood up for a bit. i know there are people interested in this. the supercharged xf hoodscoops would be awesome or the sl 55. im torn between which one would be cooler

 

well if i were supplied with a hood i am guessing around $1000 that will uses all the same parts as the factory including the hood latch, If there were a group order I could do better on the price.

look at that guys that is the best price so far. anyone still interested in this. or live near him that is willing to do something like this for production of a carbon fiber hood

 

Yeah, but I want to see the hood first, before I buy. Where does he live?

 

the hood isnt made yet, he wants a hood to use to make a mold then the price of the hood would be like a grand

 

I really like the looks of the SL that Uncle O did. I would prefer it silver to the black, but it does fit well.

Hey Ric I want to make sure I understand your post, you are saying that if I supplied you with a hood and those vents, all it would cost me would be 1000 dollars to get a carbon fiber verson of the hood with the vents installed? or are you saying it would cost me 1000 dollars to get the mold? If its 1000 dollars for the hood then I very much can buy a second hood to ship to you.

I also am still in contact with another shop about this all though I have been able to get the price of the whole process to be 2500 - 4000, your price is still much better and I would prefer to go through you though.

So yes Ric if you could please answer that for me and I think I sent you a PM a while ago so if you could also respond to that if you still have it that would be great.

P.S. I'm not letting this thread die till its really over , I want a CF hood and I am going to do my best to make it happen, so to anyone still following this if it takes me a while to post something new, it doesn't mean I have given up.

 

Just out of curiosity what will be the weight savings on the hood.
how much does the stock hood weigh and how much will the carbon fibre hood weigh? I am very interested in lightening the car.

 

I love the look of the sl 55 hood combo with ours. i think this is a great idea, Count me in.

 

yeah the sl55 hood combo is gorgeous. im totally in. im just hoping someone can supply ric with a hood

 

What state is he in?

 

is anything going to come of this? or is it just another one of those threads that dies off with the rest of the "dreamers not do'ers"

 

if i were to guess i would say his business is i virginia. but thats justa guess

 

thats all i get out of it, hate seeing it keep popping up in my email account notifying me of some new message thats the same as all the rest. thread is dead imo.

 

Hey, sorry you guys have such a grim outlook on this project, but I understand, I would too. Anyways I am going to get some pretty solid numbers hopefully before or by the weekend from this one company I have been in contact with most of this time. At which point I will post them up and see what anybody thinks about them.
