Hey Guys,
Just thought i'd run this by some people and see if they were interested. A company in Scarborough called Teknotik has their OEM carbon fiber hoods on sale for $550 or if bought 5 or more its $490 and so on. Just thought i'd put a feeler up and get some response and see if anyone knows more about the company. I've seen the hood and its of good quality. I know that people have done group buys before on hoods and didn't have luck and people get screwed over and so on and so forth but I just thought i'd post it to let everyone know. They are on untill the end of November to so there is a little bit of time. If 5 or so local people would like to get it on it and meet there a certain day and do it like that then that's another thought. Thanks,

Do they have 1G (92-94) hood also . Would be interested in this if their is 5+ people

Pat

What about the 1G with the pop lights? That will be a rare find.
Will

I've asked him about the 1G just waiting for a response. I'll call him tomorrow if I dont hear anything by the morning.

Nick and Eric run a mainly honda shop. They're awesome guys and I can vouch for their shop.
I doubt they'll have Talon hoods.

Actually Eric is the one that i've been talking to and yes they do have the 2g talon hoods or I wouldn't have posted this topic. As for the 1g, still waiting for response.

If we actually get this group buy rolling you can count me in for a 02-04 RSX hood.

Are these hoods 100% Carbon fiber, or do they have the typical "filler" layer of fiberglass?
I would be interested (depending on the money situation) if they are 100% carbon fiber hoods

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said.
And are we talking a group buy for the same hoods. Or could it be say.... 2 2G hoods, 1 civic 1 RSX and maybe a 300 ZX?
Courious.

I will find out for sure on the 100% Carbon Fiber, i'm pretty sure they are put to be clear I will call them tomorrow. I'm still waiting to see if they have 1g hoods. Hes doing some searching and about the group buy it can be a mix and match. I'll keep ya's informed.

Sounds good man, I'll need a hood within a few weeks.

I'm interested in it as well...depending on finances.

N

I'll take one forsure! Possibly 2. And my friend might want one. So maybe 3!!

Hey guys, its only the 2g hoods that are avalible and not the 1g, sorry. Other applications are also avalible.

So how many do we have for 2g / other applications?

Ken Pepper
Dean Boyle
Nicholas Ricci
Chris Mckee 2+
-Thats who I have that have shown interest, possibly a couple more so there is 5.

Great to hear!

If its only 2G hoods available then im out. I need 1G ones.

PEOPLE LETS GET THIS DONE...20 ON LIST AND $150 A HOOD GO GO!

N

Ken you should influence these people on getting 1g cf hoods. Theres at least 15 people who would pick them up.

when do u plan on doing this, and when would we recieve the product? do they have this many in stock?

ok sorry about that Chris. I will call again Monday and see if I can "influance" them to get the 1g. I plan on giving people enough time to make a decision, like a said they are on untill the end of November. I will ask how long the wait would be when I call on Monday and how many they have in stock.

Maybe we can get the mitsubishi car club in on this group buy. There's always lancer guys looking for cf hoods.

If you end up getting a group going for 1g's you can DEFINETLY count me in.

Could you let me know if they're 100% cf? I'm very interested in this.

if he can get lancer hoods then im sure there are guys in are club(mccc) will buy in too. if he can im in for a 03 lancer hood

So whats the price down to now? And is it possible to get one at the going rate sent to Nova Scotia???
If so then I maybe in!

Its a no go on the 1g hoods. I tried but he doesnt have a supplier for them. As for the rest of the applications i've contacted them about it.

GS400?

any news?

Sorry no GS400 or Lancer hoods avalible. Still a month left so lots of time. 1-2 weeks when we place the order for the hoods also.

whats the final price?

$490 will be the final price

taxes in? warranty?

n

When do you need payment by Ken?

Still waiting to here back from Eric from Teknotic about all the questions. Just thought i'd let you know i'm on it and not slacking.

$490 plus tax and there is a manufactures warrenty on the hoods. Just wanna get a rough idea whos in? I'm gonna place the order in roughly 3 weeks.

teknotik is an awesome company to deal with! awesome service and no BS!i bought a hood for my old eclipse from them, they even met me half way..... p.s.... their skyline is sweet!

Lets start a list.
Let us know when Ken and I can meet ya with the cash.

1. Dean Boyle

Tell them to pay GST and I'm in. I can get a hood for 560 taxes in already.

Don't want to sound like a bitch. But we'd have to pay $70 on taxes.

Ask if there are Cash deals

N

Obvioulsy i've already asked if there are cash deals. I'm sorry but i'm doing what I can and trying to get the best price. If you can get a better deal or a hood already for $560 then by all means go ahead. I'd be curious to know from where and why havent you tossed the word around and let other people know about it. I'd love to go to McDonalds and be like "I'll take the Big Mac meal but only if you hold the tax and throw in the fries". I get what your saying about the taxes and everybody wants to save money but even ask Ziggy, he has to charge tax on everything also, sometimes you cant get around it.

I guess this is a no go?

I'm still waiting for a couple more people. About a week left for the sale. Even though my car is up for sale, i'm still getting it.

Im prolly stepping out, I ended up fixing my hood because I couldn't wait.
Cheers

i just went to the shop and checked out the hoods. The one they are offering is a realy nice hood great quality and not just some cheap hood. It has some realy nice features and is well worth the money believe me.

are we doin this or no? i stopped in today to look at them and there pretty good looking, the top is a tight weave carbon,and the underside is fibreglass.

Well how many people do we have together for this group buy so far?

Ken - only because I can answer your question about the other source...

There ia a carbon fibre company in Hamilton, that already has all of the DSM hood patterns made, and moulded, so I'm sure that's who they're referring to.

andrew, where is that place and whats the price?

Anyone interested in a 1g hatch or 2g hatch? I think they also make hoods. Its from www.gtfabrications.com?

Take a look.
