Hey Chris, I have no problem with another source, get a quote from your
guy. The only reason I went to this guy was that I have purchased stuff
from him in the past. I am not sold on him so if anyone can find
someone cheaper, but still good I welcome it. Someone outside of
California who might not have the overhead we have out here would be
great.

Guys,
I may have a source for $450 carbon fiber hoods but NOW I am looking for
this for my coupe not S4. It seems that I have an aluminum hood on my
94. Anyone else have the same or am I the only lucky slob?
Christopher
Still would kill for a RS2 bumpercover/air dam for my US bumper.

Subject: CF-Hood or S-Glass Hood
Hey, if you guys are still interested in a "light hood" made in CF or
S-Glass?, then now's the time. All of you above initially sent me an
e-mail showing interest in having it developed (I cc'ed the lists in
case there's more), Trevor's willing to go the distance (what a champ!),
but of course this is a group type initiative that depends on enough
interest. So sign up with Trevor if you still want this to happen !
Cheers, /James "passing the gauntlet" Murray.

So hey I talked to him again today, and I just want to clarify
something, the initial quote was for a s-glass hood. I talked
to him
today and for a prepreg CF hood we would be looking at 700 a
piece and a
little over 2k for the molds. I never really got much response
to my
intitial inquery so I dropped it. I don't know if it makes any
sence to
put a CF hood on this car. But if we got 10 people to amortize
the cost
of the mold then we would be looking at about 1k a hood for a CF
or like
I said before about 600 ea for 10 for a high quality fiberglass
hood.
This would be one that would work with the stock latches and
hood shock.
This isn't a cover. If people are willing to put down money, I
am
willing to set it up from here. Get them a hood to copy and let
them
know what we want built.

Hi Guys,
The man to ask about this is Trevor Frank. He was heading up
this
initiative since he found the source. I initally had 11 people
show
interest in getting a CF hood made.
From Trevor a few months back: http://www.aerosport.net/
<http://www.aerosport.net/> Don't be fooled by the web site
this guy's
makes his living making fiberglass/carbon/Kevlar body parts
etc... I
just talked to him to get an idea, he said about 1400-1800 for
tooling
and approx 400 per hood. At quantity 5 approx 700 each copy. On
the
outside with 9 people that would only be $200 each. It would
only be
another $400 per copy then, for quantity of 9 so $600 US total.
Cheers, /James.

James, what is the current status of the below mentioned
carbon
fiber hoods
etc.
I had mentioned to Paul Friedenberg on the S-Cars list
(US),
that I had seen
something about them.
I would also like a CF hood too, but not sure of the
price ?
regards,
Mark Strangways.
