Silver on a black vibe? That might look a bit odd Merz

Now do you think I should get natural carbon fiber or the silver? What's the silver look like?Go for it! Just do like me and tell her it was cheaper than it really was. Gets me past my wife every time. Just tell her what a great deal it was and that it is a 1 time opportunity and you will never be able to get it that cheap again. Tell her it will lower your weight and engine temperature and increase your gas mileage! As for what color, I think on a black Vibe like yours the regular CF would be best, but that's totally up to you. BTW, I buy first then explain later! You can't return it!

wow thats a classic...haha...still chuckling....anyways...um..or u can get it shipped to ur dads or friends, then go home with the new one on..thats how i did my whole car...they cant tell u anythign when u show up with a new part...believe me...it works

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 9:31 am

I told her the hood only cost $200. She still said "the car doesnt need a new hood" (She says that EVERY SINGLE time I ask to get anew part" so I just say my rebuttle "we dont need ANYTHING but food air and water. We dont need a house we dont need a big tv we dont need anything, its a mater of what I want!" (removed) then she doesn't have anything left to say. But we did make a compromise. I proposed that if I save $200 for the hood and another $200 for school then she will let me get it. In reality I would have to save about $700 which is physically impossible for me to do at $5.75 an hour...I gues I wont be able to get the money in time. I'll talk to her one last time to see if I can buy the hood and then save the school money afte rI get it but I doubt that'll work.

haha sounds like my mom ..except my mom says when ur father loses his job ur cars going to get repo'ed..i laugh...and say im paying for it...then she says y do u do stuff to your car its for transportation...i say why dont u get a horse then, instead of ur youkon...then she shuts up..hahah

(removed) man if my mom said that id kick her in the face. My car is how I express myself. I don't care how I look or what kind of clothes I wear, I use my car to be myself!Ok I don't think I can get hte money so im out of hte group buy. I wouldn't want to screw it up for everyone las minute by not getting the money. I cant find a second job so there's no way I could get that money

I found out this week that I need some dental work done. I dont think I can purchase this hood, as much as I would like too.

No worries, doesn't look like we were ever going to get enough people as it is. I'll just get mine through my sponsorship as they work with VIS!

That's cool. Man, I would have loved one. I have got to stop spending money! It's just too much fun modding.

THEY ARE MY COMPETITOR... lol... its the same thing on matrix owners.. had about 10 people lined up but when i paid to get the gb going ive got 2 .... oh well.. ill see what i can do with 6 people if they will let me push it through.. cost might go up.. what do you think??

pissedoffgokart · Post by **pissedoffgokart** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 11:12 am

I'm still game! What ever happened to the tax return? Isn't it supposed to be for frivelous things, after all, it is money you didn't have....

Keep us informed as I am working a couple of different angles right now since this didn't look like it was going to go through. I was only thinking of going through VIS as a last resort.

I'm really just waiting to see what my taxes look like...I will OWE, but "how much?" is the question.

havock · Post by **havock** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 5:30 am

well i think we have enough interest.. i think its time to get the group buy going.. and give it a few weeks for everyone to reply.. this will push off production but will give everyone some more opportunities to raise the cash

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 10:35 am

I'll work my (removed) off. Don't think ill make it but I sure will try. I got offered a new opertunity at a club opening up on 9 mile early March so that's for sure gona be too late right?

So where do we make the $50 down payment? (Regular CF for me)

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 12:57 pm

I'm still in. Just say when. Silver CF for me.

Quote, originally posted by havock Â»do i have to get one of the mods involved to get this going??Not that I know of. Just post what it is, where to send the $$, how do we place our orders once it is approved for build, etc.. Just the general info. Let us know for sure what we're ordering here, what our options are, and how/who de we order them (from) with our options since it appears there may be different color options and maybe hood style options. Let us know via picture EXACTLY which hood we are getting here since there are variations and such.

kingvibe · Post by **kingvibe** » Mon Feb 07, 2005 5:21 pm

Also, post the exact price difference of the kevlar blue and the kevlar silver carbon fiber hoods from the regular black carbon and the price of shipping. When will the group buy start and when will you all need the money. Lets us know when the product will be available to ship and the time frame to get it fully purchased. State whether it will be a different price to ship it to a home or business. Thanks in advance.

Lol *STATUS UPGRADED!* So what's holding ya back that extra 25%?

havock · Post by **havock** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 3:18 am

Well price is all going to depend on the scoop. If we are sticking with the M Scoop your looking at $465 plus shipping for the regular CF hood and $545 for the kevlar hood plus shipping..

Shipping will be like $150 right?

M style for me! I hope shipping wouldn't be THAT much!!

BlueCrush · Post by **BlueCrush** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 9:53 am

It depends on the possibility of a custom ram-air carbon fiber hood from a local company.

kingvibe · Post by **kingvibe** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 4:18 pm

When you say $545 for the kevlar hoods does include shipping or is there an additional cost? Will the hood fit like oem or will it need pins? hopefully not.

pissedoffgokart · Post by **pissedoffgokart** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 11:49 pm

The 545 as I understand it is for the hood only. We are trying to find out about how much the shipping would be. The hood should be a direct EOM replacement, meaning it would fit and mount the same as stock. Pics (recycled from page 4):http://img.photobucket.com/alb...e.jpgh ... ..2.jpgBut these are NOT ACTUAL PICTURES OF THE VIBE HOOD!!! Just what they should look like when finished. Hopefully Havock will post the group buy with ALL the details soon!!!!

havock · Post by **havock** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 10:07 am

OK Here is the info.. so lets get this going... This is for the M Style Hood.. The hood is offered in Regular CF for $465 and Carbon Kevlar for $545 shipping will depend on where you live as we dont do set shipping average shipping cost is around $50-$80. The hood will have an OEM underside and latch so it will bolt right up and close normally. Hood pins arent required but are generally a good idea with any cf hood as they are light weight but like i said not required JSP does offer them for $29.99 for silver hood pins. After we get our 10 people or close to it enough that i can get the approval I will ask for the $50 deposit which can be paypal'd to sales@gogoracer.com or you can call the office 716-871-0262 and tell them you are putting the deposit down for the Genvibe Group Buy. **** do not do this until we have all 10 people or I get the OK***** The rest of the money will be due prior to the first hood shipping out and we will ship on a first pay basis. Anything else I forgot???

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 10:10 am

We're just waiting for the words! Thanks for the info. That'll be 1 Silver Kevlar CF hood for damronjr! Just say when!

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 12:07 pm

So you don't get your hood until you pay the rest of the balance...What if I were to make a down payment now and pay the rest of the hood off, say like May, June or July...would that work? I CAN wait for the hood but I just need time to save my @$$ off!

pissedoffgokart · Post by **pissedoffgokart** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 2:23 pm

I am torn between the regular CF and the colored Kev. I like the blue but, want to see the silver. Any other colors avail? Wither way, I am in for at least the CF!!NEED PICS OF AVAIL Kevlar Fiber!!!!!!!!

pissedoffgokart · Post by **pissedoffgokart** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 2:34 pm

Is there any way I can get it this color? Either CF or the Kevlar?Hope they don't mind me borrowing their pic!!

kingvibe · Post by **kingvibe** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 3:50 pm

Can we pay money order or credit card? Or what other option is available?

vibe2003 · Post by **vibe2003** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 9:10 pm

so if i want the hood, then i have to pay in advance? Do you have website that i can get my bodyshop to order? phone is ok, but i prefer sites. can i ask my bodyshop to call you guys by phone? pay by phoone also?

havock · Post by **havock** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 11:19 pm

Ok to answer all the questions i have gotten.1. you can paypal or call and pay by credit card.2. Body shop can call direct to get parts no prob.3. When we confirm all 10 people we will get the $50 deposits from everyone.4. You will not recieve your hood until its paid for so if you put the deposit down and either make payments or dump all the money at once in a month or 2 or 3 you will not get your hood until its paid for. 5. The only colors available for this group buy are the Regular CF the Blue kevlar and the Silver Kevlar.6. We try to do electronic transfer such as credit card or paypal as its easier to process than money order but we can accept a money order if thats the only option you have.Any other questions feel free to ask.. lets get a head count and call this the official group buy

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Wed Feb 09, 2005 11:41 pm

My recommendation is to start a new thread: GB for Carbon Fiber Hood, and that way all the buyers can post so we can get an accurate head count. Please post pics of the different colors and such so we can see what each of them looks like. This will make it easier to confirm the 10 people and those with questions and such can still post here. Just an idea.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 2:21 am

Ok, as long as the money isn't due in one payment and I have a couple months to work at it I'm in. As far as shipping goes though, will it need to be shipped to a buisness location or directly to my house?
