C-One Hood Group Buy - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #9045 182 posts Started by Andason
Well since it looks like this thing isn't going to happen, I'll probably spend the money I was going to use for this on an exhaust. But if this thing does go through, I'm still in. I don't see this thing going through anytime soon (if it does at all) so I will have money for it by then...
please keep this updated...
due to a jump in price on the TRD Wing Replica, i may take about another month
Even though this didnt go through...where would i go to just buy one regularly? I want this hood so bad! Anyone know where to go?
I think someone said you could get one imported for about $1000, but I could be wrong...
What a bummer i had all this money saved aside.....
So is it official to say that this GB is dead and everyone is free to spend the money they had set aside?
sounds like all it needs it someone else trustworthy to pick up the chains and start pulling
hey guys, i'm working on this also. i really need a new hood, so i took the liberty of searching. i'll keep you guys updated, but this isn't as easy as it sounds. give me one week, i'll have some news.
Don't lose hope people, I'm still working with plenty of companies to get this resolved, I'm just trying to keep you up to date and Erebuni has just been scratched off the list (over priced bastards)

i am awesome
GO GUYS GO! If you guys need any help let us know...we're all still behind you!
hey guys, i have some news. i sent an e-mail to bodykits.com explaining our situation yesterday, well they responded today. they would like to know if we have 1 hood for replication. i stated we were shooting for somewhere around $350.00. now the ball is in our court, does any one have a c-one hood on this site? and if not what else can we do? i have an idea, but that's if we don't have a mold. let me know guys, ask ?'s, this may be the chance we've been waiting for.
I haven't had a chance to read through the whole post to see what's the situation. But sounds like you guys don't have a supplier lined up.

Sorry to jump in (Just trying to help though), but how many guys are for sure-for sure on this one with money in hand? Its going to take a couple guys to pay up front just to lock in the deal and yes someone has to purchase the original to make to mold off. Whether it be the shop doing the work and hopes to resell it or some guy in here who wouldn't mind the shop "borrowing" it to make some copies.

P.S. Also getting an original from Japan is not going to be a problem.

But if someone can let me know some numbers of whose 100% interested and willing to pay up front to get it done, I'll do what I can to help you guys out and see what I can produce with my connects.

*Thumbs up for Coomer for putting together a such warm-welcoming family for us new guys*
i'm interested completely...but i dunno you are all, and since your member time has also been to short lived so far, i am not up for handing over $300+ dollars that might not come back...
i'd need reassurance

edit: i'm not trying to mean, just stating my opinion.

i say there are about 10-15 that do have cash on hand. if your contact can hook you up, then we can get you a exact #. all who have listed (38) are seriously interested. but yes i do know $ will be needed to begin. if you can get a good deal for 1, price wise then maybe we all can pitch in and purchase it. then draw #'s between the one's who pitched in give it away. maybe 15-20 dollars would be a good amt. so the more, the cheaper. sounds good and fair to me. unless by chance, someone on this site is willing to part with theirs should they have one.
consynx: Autoxtasy is my contact Sean from "autoxtasy motorsports" check out www.autoxtasymotorsports.com to view all the info from his company. you can check on www.xceedspeed.com, which is the Michigan sport compact enthusiast messageboard, where his company is a paying advertisor. he's a vendor for everything from bodykits to anything performance to anything EXTREMELY rare from japan. im not sure currently as to their ability to import motors and such, but it is stuff they have in the works for the future. ive been talking to him quite a bit since we first started getting the VIS sideskirt GB togeather, and depending how that goes, he may talk to some of his contacts and get this C-ONE hood GB going, then after that, may really look into producing some really big new components for the 6GC. things everyone has complained about, even contacted companies about, but havent got off the ground with. basically if the damand for the part is there, he is willing to do what he can to put it out there for us.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
if he's recommended by you...i have my reassurance...ThX
If you guys still need a suppyer, Bodykits co. will do it for sure. If you want to go this route let me know! What kind of material are we taking here anyways? You planing on carbon fiber, fiberglass or what?? Details!! Thanks again! Also, I am probably going to go ahead and order the GT-4 hood from these guys. IF any one is interested eMail me!
Anybody recommended by Tim has to be a good person to deal with. I hope you can get to Ohio in June man!

btw...im not in..wont have money for quite a while...but we will see. plus if i get in an accident id be really depressed if my hood got messed up

Sometimes we live to beat the odds.-Ryanaim: rkgreen04
I am in. Let us know.


William
I am in, but i need till April
This whole forum here is WHACK sean you should delete this one and start another cause its hard to understand what is what!!!!!
yeah this thing should get restarted once we have a new plan, like who we are going through, that would make things make a lot more sense
my thought exactly...new post for a GB through AutoXtasyMotorsports?
then we can start with #'s again...
it might be best to wait though until we have all the specifics like exact pricing and shipping so we'll know for sure if people are in or not
yes, this is something we will do. but IMHO i think we would be pushing things a bit too fast at the moment, if its cool with everyone lets wait a week or 2 untill the sideskirt GB is completely in hand, then we will move on to this project, that cool with everyone?

Well i'm having a little trouble with VIS right now so let me deal with that. I have other companies like Extreme Dimensions asking me to buy their side skirts instead (same style) but I'd rather get you guys VIS because of the quality and fitment and plus I promised you guys that in the first place. So as soon as the current group buy is resolved and moving smoothly then we'll talk about other situations. Thanks for understanding guys.
it will take about 1 week to get all the names >tongue.gif>

btw, i'm in ASAP now, have the money in hand
i've been in i'm just waiting on you guys. i already have the money at hand also. >biggrin.gif>
