Man I would be all over that hood if you were in the USA.How much is shipping to California?

CA Automotive · 9th July 2007, 21:54

hi Jimmy

shipping to USA approx $350 usd, i can confirm if you like.

Even with shipping thius is still VERY cheap for a 100% pre preg hood ....

thanks

It is not the price,but the fact if I am not happy with the fit and finish,I have no recourse.Do you have a USA representative?Thanks

CA Automotive · 10th July 2007, 11:40

I understand, but actually you have plenty of recourse, because if you are not happy with the product and we do not do something about it you can always complain publicaly on this forum and the negative publicity just would not be worth our while for sake on one hood.

This hood comes unlaquered / unpainted by the way, so requires preparation and painting before fitting.

let us know what you think ?

thanks

Roy,what about the vent?Does it need to be cut out and does a screen go under it?Thanks.

CA Automotive · 16th July 2007, 22:40

the functioning vent is already part of the hood mold

You can add mesh if you wish at your discretion

all the best

Good deal Jim

Shipping is serious.

From my judgement, CA is a solid party.

If the hood did not have the vent and I was a bit further down my "To Do" list, I would have bought.
