Pic of the hood in question CFR EDITION!!!










Prices:
999 Fiberglass
1199 Carbon top Fiberglass inner
1499 Full Carbon Top and Bottom/Inner

All prices above will be plus 200.00 flat rate shipping anywhere in the USA.

Canada Aussy,UAE and anywhere else you will have to email me for a quote

Info@Blackopsautoworks

Let me take some shipping confusion out and try to address all international shipping quotes in one general post.

UAE sees 700-900 freight
Aussy sees about the same ^
Canada 240-280

All hoods are considered freight we do not use UPS or Fed Ex they are just crazy high priced 1,000+++ just for shipping with them. Please don't ask me to quote with them as it's waste of time trust me I've been doing this a long time LOL. Even if you get a discount with your company it don'tt work trust me been their done that it don't work even with the biggest corporate discounts.

The hood boxes are large 72x68x8 and once packed they weigh 55 pounds. Their is no real cheap way they get us dimensionally not by weight the dimensions in a shipping calculator estimate these boxes at 200+ pounds so this is the reason for the high prices.

I quote with 3-4 different companies I found over the past 7 years and use the best quote possible. We do not sell shipping and in fact if a quote comes in at 748 I typically round down to 725.00 in order to get the sale I NEVER MARK UP.

We sell parts and have no interest in selling shipping or making money on shipping I can guarantee you are not being priced gouged on shipping we have to keep guys employed and need work making parts not money from shipping.

A container by sea to any region would be the best bet honestly probably 2500 for 10 hoods+ anything else that fits I'm sure their is someone in every country to organize this for a certain group looking for parts to be shipped out.

Well that would be a whole other mold you are aware the entire front is a vent yes?

If you want a scoop and you want to pay I'm O.K. with it Mold is 10k then a hood will be 1,400 after the mold is made.

Oh my labor for sculpting it from foam is 7,500 so it would only be 19,000 to get one on your rig let me know or just paypal Blackopsautoworks@yahoo.com cool:cool:


See I am footing a lot of this build the list does not get this project paid in full.

I not only have to pay for molds I have to pay for each hood to be built so the mold cost is not the only thing we have to pay for. I typically do these with a 50% commitment for people to see if it's worth doing if I get more great but I really like to have people committed since it takes about 20 to break even.






For the group buy:

I'm closing this down Dec. 1st that work for everyone?

Hey yes they will fit

Hoods have holes for the Hinge's and a hole for the piston Ball.

The OEM Hood has threaded rods sticking out of the hood but we avoid assembly the same way since they may get broken or bent in shipping. We will avoid this by giving 4 bolts in the wood legs attached to each hood that will be reused like all of our 05-10 hoods do.

The hood catch and bolts will be taken off the OEM hood and reused in our hood also like all of our 05-10 Hoods.

The hoods have no Auto Clear/Paint it is our coating it is a UV Gel that we have also been using for 7 years and our MFG for 12 years with no reports of yellowing or cracking to date. Not sure if I listed all that up top I will have to go read and I'll copy it here if I did from the first post cool? I think it's a few posts down I'll look.

Any chance you guys will ever do a Viper/Hellcat style hood?
Not at this time a good selling hood sells in the 100's as you see this is not a huge market and don't feel another option is smart since the cost is so high to get these mfg. we are just trying to break even on this honestly and so far with what's sold are not.

Heck if it makes money in 12 mo. great :lol:

Now the Chinese companies may do one since they don't MFG in the USA and almost everyone else is in Mexico and that is a fact! Their are defiantly trade offs from theirs to ours like Paint, Chopper guns to spray fiberglass and just cheaper materials this is where the theories of yellowing fogging and cracking come in the world of Carbon just cheaper build materials and processes. I can't build a hood for what some companies are selling retail for. I think the biggest difference to anyone looking and feeling one of our hoods vs any other company not knowing anything about Carbon Fiber is our hoods are lighter than OEM not heavier and our shine is defiantly deeper and only gets better over the years as long as it is taken care of since the Gel is so hard Vs Clear Paint.

Not yet I was keeping this open till Dec. 1st and with the holiday my mfg can't start until the second week of Dec and with people still wanting in I may just leave it open hood has been fitted and should be at my mfg soon so I'm on this even tho I have collected noting and as long as people are coming and I'm moving forward the less time I hold cash the happier I am cool? I will let everyone know when it's time I think I'm gonna put it on the website live when it's time and start this that way. I think that will leave the best paper trail and keep everything private.

Website is Open on the Hood today fellas!!!

PLEASE mark your Forum User Name with your purchase in the NOTES of checkout this way I can move names around in Numbered order here on JG


We will need a test fit guy in Souther California this fitment guy will get the First Fiberglass if he wants Carbon he will need to make two trips. This fitment will help everyone get their hood faster if I have to send one to me on the east coast make changes that would add 2 weeks of shipping alone. If changes have to be made this could take another two weeks my Post #20 explains this more in depth on this :) RIGHT NOW WHO'S IN SO CAL?

The wait will start once we have cash the hood is being worked on now in California at my MFG so I got a lil bit of a jump I'm told mold should be done in Jan so the test fit should happen sometime Mid to Late Jan then Production of hoods on the list will start after the test fit is made of course.

If you are ordering a front lip with your hood to take advantage of the 100.00 savings we will ship the lip long before the hood. Lips are 4-6 week wait min. this time of year we may be catching just not this week so that timeline may change. Also the 100.00 will be off the hood not the lip this insures you don't order a hood then cancel it since the lip will ship months before.

Just purchase the lip on the Website with your hood and make a note that says GROUP-BUY if ordered separately a week after make sure you put that in the notes so I can match it with your hood and confirm you are on the group buy.
