These are my costs to ship out ground Yellow Motor Freight to a business.
It's cheaper to send it to a business.
Class Glass will make a carbon fibre hood, but it looks just like a black gel coat one.
They do it for true racers where weight matters more than money.
If you really want one with a scoop, Dayle at Motorsports Warehouse can get you one in a light blue or light gray.
Thanks. Few other questions, can you use the factory insulation?

don't use the factory insulation... use the rubber moldings that are on the front of the underside of the hood.

The paint is a gel coat so it will look good. The edges are not rounded, they are straight cut so the edges are almost sharp. Thats the thing, these hoods were not made for cosmetic reasons, they were made to reduce weight. If youa re getting it for another reason, you are a fool

I know its not a cosmetic upgrade, I was talking like production quality and fit... like compared to the CF ones that seem to be crappy quality

Hmmm, what's the shipping cost to 03062? And do it residential. I'd ship it to the dock at my work, however I'd have to way to get it home. (I work 45 miles from home)

In either case, I need a hood, and want to be rid of the tank armor hood I have now. I'll have to bite cost. (EDIT: This is not to say I'm not impressed with the ClassGlass hood- it's the best I've seen to date, and looks identical to stock while shut... with some small underhood noise dampening material, I think it's perfect for what I need.) Also, where is it shipping from? I work in the shipping software industry and might be able to find an alternate LTL shipper for cheaper...

PS - Nikfu, good reference. Gave me a slight laugh, not at your expense of course.

If you can find a cheaper method of shipping it, please let me know!

Nik, I just spoke with a friend oif mine in WV who will probably be moving to Alaska, and she can bring one up then.
It might be a while...

Put me down for one if that idea ever goes through. :DDDDDDDD

Shipping Update!

After talking with LAN yesterday he hooked me up with
www.freightquote.com

In the continental US the shipping is now $107.50, and the box is $15.00.
I can sell the hoods for $350.00 cash and carry,
or shipped for $350.00+$107.50+$15.00.
$472.50 total.
Loose 28.5#s, look sleeker, and hotter all without dieting!
Order Today!



Nik, Jan is still planning to move there, she just does not know when.

That is quite a reasonable price for the hood, and for the shipping.

I should know, as I work for a hood company We make truck/SUV hoods mostly, though..

Oh and yeah, Freightquote.com is as good as a little guy is going to get for shipping rates. I use them to ship my bumpers.

PS make sure you pack those hoods really really well, or the freight guys will destroy them on a regular basis. Be sure they can survive a 4 foot drop
because that's the treatment they're going to get :O
PM and I can possibly share some trade secrets on packaging...
