ok so i stopped by the UPS store yesterday... gave them the dimensions of the hood and they said it's too big so they have to make a custom box and they can't ship it regularly.. only by a trucking company and would charge about $300 to ship to VA. There's no way anyone is paying that much for shipping.

Anyone know how other people ship hoods w/out paying a leg and an arm?

If i can't ship this thing... someone local or nearby can come pick this up for $300

Anyways Merry Christmas all =D

If you're being serious, yea you can do that =D make sure you bring your bolts from your oem and also... the clip on the end of your hood that locks down your hood, you need to take that off as well and bring those bolts. so 6 bolts and that clip.

Pm me and i'll give you my address... When i bought this hood, i drove to philly in my friend's pathfinder. You can do that as well and find a 4x4.

no no, those pictures are only a week old. thats exactly how they look. I mentioned that i thought i saw scratches but they were just streaks that erased when i washed it. (no surface damage)

The marks on the hood, people say you can buff it right out if u wanna keep the carbon fiber look. I'm not a fan of carbon fiber look and got the hood because of the design and always had the intention of painting it even if there was no blemishes.

flyboi....I am seriously considering this hood ( cf )....I would be willing to drive about 4hrs in your direction to get it....its about a 6hr drive from kingston Ontario. I need to see a couple of better pictures first.....sorry. I know its off your car so a few pics would be great...and if you get it done today.....maybe we could get this done as early as tomorrow. let me know.

Ok, good news... i finally found a good shipping company with a good price.

If i ship this out, it'll be $285 + shipping

If someone picks it up, $300.

Someone from cali was curious how much it'd cost to have this shipped there and to 94402 (SF area) was about $360

For VA area it was about $280

Those are the shipping rates, just so everyone has an idea of the range.... These prices are without the box but boxing it shouldn't cost much.

I PM'd everyone back, first come first serve now
