Subject: SportQuattro Hood Grill question...

 

Hi everyone, 
Can anyone tell me what is the story with the hoods and latch? Talked to Ed
last week (he got the first hoods delivered to him) and he told me that all
hoods are going to need "pins". He explained to me that Fiber Images won't
make hoods with the original lacking system.
Is this true?

 

Also, I will be traveling to Europe (Poland) on December 14 and I would like
to know if this is a good deal. There are original Sport Quattro grills
available in Poland, made out of Kevlar (picture attached). I'm not sure how
many sets this guy has and cost per set is $300.00 (expensive). There are
any other places to buy those grills (beside Ebay)? If not, I will be buying
two sets... If anyone is interested, please let me know by Thursday and send
money via paypal to my account (klodzko at hotmail.com). Please include
additional 3% for Paypal fees (I had upgrade my Paypal account when I was
collecting money for the hoods).



Let me know,
Regards,
Roman Waksmundzki
