They add $95.00 to the total cost of something which is turning out more expensive now that I'm really considering it..
$325.00 for hood shipped
$95.00 Catches
Cutting holes in my $325.00 hood
$200.00 - $500.00 to have hood painted...
On the low side that hood is gonna cost around $620.00?

[QUOTE=Cspence;470127]Where did you get them? How much did you pay? and you wanna sell em?
This is the only place I know that carrys them for the US...Over priced I might add
REV9 Autosport
bought them when i bought my car. had to pay separately for them since my buddy had just spent $850 plus shipping! this was probably 2.5 years ago. anyway, if i sold them i would have to get $600. not sure yet, they have been sitting here though. i paid $750 2 years ago.
and yeah, the fitment between these and those a.konexion ones are on totally different levels. these fit like factory pieces.

japanparts.com : PARTS DATABASE
On the bright side, at least we have the ability to get them....I thought for a while these were damn near impossible to get in the states...

No real desire to make flares unless I straight up copied another flare set. It would be a pain in the *** to make it symmetrical and look good.
Plus, I couldn't do it in the same price=cost to make fashion that I doing the hoods right now.

I will shamlessly copy a set of flares, but I am not paying $900 for the set. Too much of a risk unless a bunch of people really wanted them. We will see what people think of my work with the fiberglass hoods and go from there. Making 4 different molds is kind of a pain in the ***. Takes a fair amount of time ot make sure you get all the little details in the molds.
If only there was a member that had a set laying around that would let me copy them.....................

the real set is like 900 bucks! and if you get at least 4 committed buyers to send you the money for a set before hand, that would cover the cost of the originals and the molding cost..........then its a snowball effect from there! whenever sombody wants a set make it!
