starionheaven Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Where in california are you located 101purpose? Somewhere close to the 101 fwy Im guessing, lol. I'm in Santa Barbara and I usually travel up and down the coast. Maybe we can arrange some sort of pick up as I see it ridiculous to pay $150 for shipping when I can just pay around $50 or less for gas...

willmoodom Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Just to be sure, when will you let us know of final prices due to different price quotes according to quantity sold and a final on insurance. I personally want the worst case scenario of what I'm going to pay in case discounts are not given. Also PM'ed you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally want the worst case scenario of what I'm going to pay in case discounts are not given. so far i have 4 orders and worst price you get if this gb ends with 4 ordres is $599.99 + shipping for a carbon fiber hood and $399.99 + shipping for a frp hood. lets hope we get more orders for better prices order listmember id --- type of hood ordering --- deposit1.

SHhhhh Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Are hood pins necessary or recommended with this hood? The factory hood latch goes here, correct? http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/1373/gmr8.jpg How does the factory latch attach to the hood? I am guessing nut and bolt? Is this area reinforced to keep the latch attached to the hood and not to break off if hood pins are not used? The hood looks great! Post more pics if you can! Is there any way to extend the GB a little bit to allow more people to be added to the list? If you extend it 30 more days I am sure you will get more buyers.

101PROPOSE Posted September 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 it has two threaded holes for mounting the stock hood latch and it is up to you whether use hood pins or not but i must say hood pins are required as i do not want any problems. more pictures http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/aa.jpg http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/bb.jpg http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/cc.jpg http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/dd.jpg thanks,101PROPOSE@VERIZON.NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kr0nus Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Just so you guys know my hood is very similar to this hood and my hood latch has had no problems with no hood pins. So, don't worry about not having them. I was told that it's complicated to mass produce a hood with hoodpin holes by the CF guys that made my hood because the holes have to be drilled at an angle.

Kr0nus Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 What about where you have to drill to secure the pins on your car? If the pins are off it's not going to fit right, it's just easier to leave it up to the purchaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the car is wracked it should fit within a general tolorence. and The end user doing it themself has no way to attache reinforcement inside as the hood is already solid.

Vanishing Point Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Just a quick question.How hard would it be, and is there any supports in the way, to cut out the vents. This looks like a good solution to my heat soak problem.2 minutes with the hood open and I have no problem. If I can make use of the vents this would probably do it. If its fairly simple count me in.

Oct 31 or something and I would have been in. I don't want to blow my load all at once. looks like many members are asking to extend the gp and move the order end date to 10-31-06. it is okay with me but i need to get okays from members who ordered already. if they agree, i will extend it. Just a quick question.How hard would it be, and is there any supports in the way, to cut out the vents. This looks like a good solution to my heat soak problem. i think you should be able to do it with a dremel tool. it is just like cutting/triming fiberglass. it is hollow between the center hood scoop/vent and the bottom support. you will have to cut out the top and the bottom to get the air in. http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/vent0.jpg http://www.mookeeh.com/starquest/vent1.jpg thanks,101PROPOSE@VERIZON.NET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it came with everything opened up, it would be worth it, but until then, I'll stick to my stocker. I agree with the post that applauded your initiative, but a bit of research may have made this design more appealing to our community(at least me). We're such a small customer base that we're grateful for anything aftermarket from a decent supplier and often don't have multiple vendors to choose from. If you could work us into the planning phase of proposed new products, I'm posiive your business would increase and we would get a near ideal product. I know, you can't please all of the people all of the time, but you could come close! On a better note, I'm glad to see a manufacturer make performance parts for our cars. I stumbled over some of your StarQuest parts on eBay a couple days ago and I'm sure I'll be a customer once I get my build under way. I've had my Quest for 12 years and don't plan on parting with it for a long time. We need suppliers to keep supporting our near classic cars.
