I'm back with some answers.


1. Shipping to Canada more.

2. Shipping of more than 2 pieces cost more. No more than two pieces go into a shipping box.

3. Getty doesn't make a full lid. (with no light cut-outs)

Buyer does have a choice of thickness (weight) Depending on use. Lighter if you are using car for racer, heavier for street use.

Neal is getting back to me about posting some pics of lids.

Hope this helps - (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

CF lids are stocked in Riverside, CA for those of you who were thinking about picking them up.

Next is to find out what the minimum thickness will be to have it still seal properly, but be as thin as possible...

What kinda weight savings are we looking at anyways?

I have a place near me that sells all the stuff I need to make one, I think I may give it a shot and see how it comes out. I just think that $700 is too much for a lid even with a $200 discount. A lid shouldnt cost more than maybe 2 or 300 tops.

You will determine thickness when placing your order for lids with Neal. He is better equiped to determine your needs as far as application.

Maybe my last post was too vague...

How much does a steel front hood weigh?
How much does a FRP front hood weigh?
How much does a CF front hood weigh?

We can each determine for ourselves the weight savings to cost benefit ratio. I would be painting any hood that goes on my car...

I will talk to Neal at Getty tomorrow about placing orders. It will go down something like this-If you are interested-you put a call into Neal place your order, stating that you are part of the deal with the 914Club, then arrange for shipping or pickup. I will let you know in a post tomorrow about a phone # to get to Neal, with ?s and order instructions. If you have any addition ?s tonight please post and I will add to the conversation with him tomorrow.

Can you convince him to make a hood without headlight cut-outs. It looks like he lost 2 sales right off the bat. I know I'd be up for one, too, but I'm a broke-ass mofo right now.

Mark,
you may want to clarify if the frame is molded like the original. Some CF or fg is flat or has flat composite reinforcement. Racers want the least amount of material/weight and will pin them to the car not bolt to hinges. That's why pics of both sides of each lid would be helpful.

I may be in. Will he discount other items that he sells if I go in on the deal? I need some pieces for my Carrera RS.
