HEY JOE,
I was just wondering what the problem with the GT Racing hoods was. I got the impression that you liked them when you posted your first pics a while back. Just curious.

The pair from GT Racing would be absolutely fine if I were going to paint them, but the way the subframe is bonded to the main panel leaves a little to be desired, so I'm entertaining the idea of finding a better set.

I have asked Neal for some detailed pictures, but haven't received a response as of today. If I get pics, I'll post them here.

Mack, see if you can get Neal to send those pictures. I'll make a decision as soon as I can see the decks.

If you decide to jump on new lids, lemmeno. I'll buy your rear lid.....at a suitable discount, of course. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Are you gonna give me your paint mix code?

If I get a set from Getty, the GT Racing decks will be returned for a refund.

I have a request in to my painter to send me the paint code. He told me I shouldn't tell anyone, but I don't mind. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)

Me too! I love that color! (at least on my monitor) You'll bring it to the wcc, right? I'd love to see it in person! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I would be in for a set, if I could actually look at them, and I like what I see. I can't get ahold of anyone yet, and he hasn't responded with pictures to email. You are going to have a hard time selling ANYTHING without pictures- at least CF bodywork LOL

HEY GUYS-Neal will send you pictures if you go to the GettyDesign website and request pictures of the CF lids. That's what he asked me to pass along to those who would be iinterested. He says he's very busy and this would be the quikest way to take a look. I'm sold by what I have seen of pictures posted by members on this site. I like the non-painted look, especially on my black car.

I will be devils advocate....

pics wont tell you doo doo... The product can be made to look GREAT in pics....but will you receive the part that was used for the pic?

Heck AIR has nice pics of some there 'glass......but every piece of AIR glass I ever touched was junk...the amount of time fitting it was way to much!!

AIR does (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) to customers "Its race glass and need to be fit" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) AIR

The rumour mill has been grinding for year that Getty makes some of the stuff Hank (GT Racing) sells..

Getty makes good stuff, but it still will require fitting, and finishing...

How long have you had GT's hoods? and you expect Hank to take them back?

Bondo: I will be escorting 914RS to WCC05.

Mack: I have contacted Neal for pictures and have not received a reply.

Tim T: I know for a fact that my decks were made in CO. Hank was having trouble getting a quality product from his usual builder and had a local kit plane builder come in to make my decks. After three attempts, he sent me the ones I have now.

My painter looked at them today and stated that he thinks we can sort them out pretty easily, but in his opinion, I should receive some compensation from GT Racing.

And, I've had the decks for about 30 days (took me three months to get them!) If I decide they're going back, he will refund the purchase price or pay the consequenses (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) .

Gettys website made it seem like they were going to be direct plug and play...

If they are going to need finishing and major screwing around to make work then I am out. I love the look, but I can't drop $600 on something that is going to take another 10 hours plus more money to make right.
