fiberglass hoods low price

hey guys im going to make a mold for fiberglass hoods for the twins.
it wont dent up like the stock aluminium hood and will weigh about the same.
it will be a vented hood like the TS style Seibon hood (i repeat... LIKE that hood not an exact copy)
anyone interested in one while i still have the mold?
i can make oem style hoods 2.

i was thinking $300 each for the first 2 hoods purchased

then maybe $400 each after that

im only looking to make a few hoods (10 max and thats pushing it) then ill sell or chuck the molds. i might just chuck em after so no one or few people have the same hood as me

anyone interested in one before i make the mold?
the first person to purchase one will get it for $250 unless its after i make the mold (the 250 goes toward supplys)
if its after i make the mold it will be more expensive

i need some money to kick this off. but not much...
whos down to help me get this going?

Interested to see the mold of how it would look, I know you were stating TS style but what differences are you looking to implement?

What he means is that your mods look low quality and lacks professionalism. If you're just going for low price quick solutions I don't see the problem. You just have to realize that people are going to be very weary of hacking up their $30k car. The fact that you've done so is commendable though. Perhaps you should wait to post pics til you're projects are closer to completion and use a better cam/ lighting.

Are you a vampire or something? Hehe. Why are all the pics at night. Between night shots and the low quality camera really hard To see much. Any chance you can get some better pics during the day in the light?
