[urq] Carbon Fiber hoods?

[W.Stedman]

I saw what was going on at the end of that Automechanica deal and the
company that was making the hoods for him had about 5 on hand, and waiting
for a balance from Automechanica but Automechanica would not return his
call's or send any more money to him,
So I made a trip up and made the remaining payment to the guy who has the
molds and he sold me mine.
The Company who will do it for you is Fiber Image's in CA, and if they still
have the molds he will make one for you.

Don't go there.
Unless you are buying from a reputable company or can trade money for a
hood in person.
There have been 2 hood deals that went bad.

That GB with Automechanica in Chicago went very bad.  Of course not for
the people that actually got their hoods and not quite as bad for those
that just made the $500 down payment.  Unfortunately for me, I was next
in line to get a hood and made a full payment of $1500 when it all fell
apart.
