Any South Park fans out there?

"Seriously..........*pant*..........you guys.........Friday..........*pant*........holy crap............carbon fiber hood......*pant*...........done..........."

what is the approx cost for labor to install this CF hood and what would be the shipping cost to Hawaii 96789?
I hope it isn't more expensive than the hood itself although I would not be surprised.

Good question and I will make an inquiry for you to see how much. It's possible that shipping by boat would be fairly
inexpensive. The other possibility would be if enough hoods would be sold we could consolidate a container shippment.
PM me regarding this and will have an answer by Friday.

Do you have Carbon Fiber hoods for the MC and MCS? If you do have an MC hood availble, are its curves as sexy? I'd like to see.

electric--he has them for the mcs currently, but will have them for the mc soon

the hoods would be same except for the hood scoop, so i assume it will be just as sexy

Peter, gotta love that new web site of yours. I wish I had the talent and skills to do stuff like that. Did you model that 3D MINI yourself?

Yeah the site looks AWESOME!

Flash is the way to go to make a site really stand out. The problem I see with most flash sites though is that they are not updates nearly as often as they need to be.

So, what ever happened with the hoods?

This thread seemed to have died even though a ton of people were asking about it.

And M7's site doesn't seem to be working right, so I couldn't check it.

Hey guy's.....

The......Hood

Now this is funny, my manufacturer called me today and told me ........."The final hood is done tomorrow"
Now I know why no one has a carbon hood on the market yet....the thing is a B*%#@ to make and what makes it
even worse is I could have sold a boat load by now.

I will let you know what the story is on Wednesday.







And as always...call me if you have a question.

If everything goes well with the MCS hood, an MC hood will be done ASAP....
