Carbon fiber cowl hood for $430 now...

Just my personal opinion here. I like a 3" cowl. I even think a bit more looks good. (To a certain extent here obviously) I also like the grabber hood, but I plan to go with a cowl-type hood myself. Just my personal opinion. Preston

 

That's not high for shipping a hood by truck. I priced it when I sold a hood a couple years ago, and that's about where it was at. Ended up going greyhound for under 50 bucks. Not sure how many businesses are willing to use them ( have to drop off & pick up at the terminal), but they have a legit package business called greyhound packagexpress.

 

If they want to sell more hoods, they should be willing to go Greyhound.

 

So they just stick it in the luggage compartment of a bus or what? Or is it a dedicated freight truck or something? Ive never heard of that.

THIS IS NOT THE SAME HOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nor do they have 20 of them!

ok guys... i've been away for work as well as a passing of a family memeber. so with all that crap, i get back to my e-mails and people are e-mailing me left to right about this hood on ebay!!

i have spoke with my friend who is the one who made my hood just to make sure he's not the one doing the e-bay! HE IS NOT!!! nor is he selling this hood to any dealer or company!

and this one on e-bay is not only listed incorrectly but he does not have 20 of them! VIS is not the one selling this hood it is a dealer of VIS!

so its not the same HOOD! this is a dealer using a photo that someone took of my car! not to meantion that its listed as a wrong appication and everyone knows that a maverick hood don't have a latch on it like the one pictured on e-bay!

IMO for those of your talking about shipping.. large wholesaler / dist is going to ship truck! and $150 is an avg going rate for a truck.. if you want it bad enough you'll pay for it... and if its a maverick hood in carbon fiber well enough said. if you think a company gonna cry over one sale ... that company shouldn't be in business.

so all in all if you wanna risk sending your money to him via ebay.. go for it!

and good luck!

also i almost forgot.. look at this guys feedback not to mention what this guys sells.. its not the maufacture! they why they say WATCH OUT what you buy on ebay!

sorry but i will post this information on all post regarding this... so if you read it already i'm sorry!

 

If that is a pic of your car, you should check out the VIS site. They are using the same pic. Not sure if you gave them permission or not. Just a heads up.

IMO, if they didn't make the hood in the pic, THEY SHOULD NOT USE THE PIC ON EBAY OR THEIR SITE!

I would call and ask why your car is on their site.
Every time the pic pops up on ebay, I would post feedback for that person using your pic and post questions on the item as to why he is doing it.

That hood is gorgeous though!
Perfect shape/height.

 

I'm sure glad someone looked in to this. That could have p#%&%* off.

 

Interesting, the link comes back as an invalid item now.

 

The seller is no longer a valid user either...
His ebay store is "closed".

 

Glad to hear that.
