Alright lets get an official head count for those interested in the hood.

I will need at least 5 of each to make this happen

Once I get 5 people of each interested, I will need a deposit to confirm commitment. I'll ask them how much shipping will be.

shipping will be @ $100 in the 48 states via Airborne Express. Elsewhere will be slightly higher i.e. Hawaii, Canada, Puerto Rico, etc...

The hoods come in either vented or non-vented (oem) style. Only one style of the vents are offered.

Is it cheaper is we get it shipped to a business address? So the price would be $400 shipped in the lower 48 states?

I may be in for a 4 door if we meet the #5.

Shipping price will be @ $100 regardless of whether its a residential or business address. Final price should be in the area of $400 shipped.

I'm interested, but I wouldn't buy the 2-door hood without the slats (can we make sure that's there?) Finally, does anyone have any fitment pictures? I've seen some CF hoods misaligned or slightly raised, or not following the bumper exactly, etc. Are we guaranteed perfection? :D

If you look at those vents near the windshield you'll see that they are not functional at all. The weatherstripping acutally seals it off from the engine bay. .

I just did a quick photoshop to clarify any confusion.

The CF hood offered by emotionGarage will come vented and non-vented. THe picture below shows both versions with a line down the middle of the picture to distinguish the differences.
http://www.emotiongarage.com/images/CF/cfversions.jpg

The slats found in the OEM hood will not be on the CF hoods. These are the slats that everyone is refering to:
http://www.emotiongarage.com/images/CF/slats.jpg

Pricing: $300 plus shipping which will be around $100 in the 48 states via Airborne express. Pick up is available. CA residents = 8.25% tax.

I really want one, but I don't know how good it'll look on my alpine white m3. What do you guys think? It is all painted white, with a rieger infinity 1 kit. I'm also planning to buy cf front grills, and cf front splitter, and gunmetal rims. Do you think that will look good? I've even thought maybe I'll buy the hood, paint the sides and just leave the middle portion cf, but then that might not look good. Couldn't you use both hood shocks or whatever they are called (those things that hold the hood up) since it isn't a 100% cf hood?

It goes down when I have at least 5 people interested per type of hood.

I just woke up, (I worked Noc shift today, hehe.

Anyways, you can use the stock hood shocks, check my thread on the body and stylin forum, the link is amoing the first 5 posts on this thread complete with pics of it installed. My hood was slightly raised above the fenders, so I adjusted the hood latches to be shorter and it pretty much solved the problem.

While hood pins are "recommended" per se for any CF type hood. I've brought the car up to 130mph and the hood was not flopping at all. The bmw stock latches are pretty good. I believe one of the reasons that cause these hoods to flop on say cars like the civic is because there is only one hood latch instead of two like the E36, causing an uneven locking force.

C'mon guys. I don't think I made it that difficult to understand. Or did I? :devillook :stickoutt

We need a total of 20 Hoods all together. Which means FIVE of each type.

Because of the low price on these hoods in order to get this GB going we need 5 of each type of hoods. In other words, (5) 2dr vented, (5) 2dr non-vented, (5) 4dr vented, and (5) 4dr non-vented. Only then will this GB happen.

This is ONLY the MINIMUM. They can do MORE than FIVE of each TYPE. But to get this GB going, we need AT LEAST FIVE participants of each type of hood.

Heres how the list will get done:

2dr (vented)
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.


2dr (non-vented)

You're more than welcome to call the shop up to pay directly with a credit card for the hood. I know that they accept money orders, cashier checks, paypal, credit cards.

Can we get multiple hoods shipped to one location? If I got one, there would be 3 of us from the Denver area that could get them shipped in one. If you are shipping via freight, this shouldn't be an issue, just stack 3 boxes on top of one another and tape them together.

I agree, it seems that we have more than 20 people that want just vented, it would work out in thier favor since they would only have to make the 2 different types of hoods (4dr and 2Dr).

THis is not meant to hijack this thread... god knows that i want one of these hoods so badly....

I spoke to a distributor of the vented coupe hoods. I go tthe price of the hood to 270 not including shipping. SHipping is 100 at the most. Depending on the number of people, i could get the price below that... i think he said we only need 10. I will speak to him either tomorrow or monday for the final details, but for the people that are unwilling to wait to get 5 of each type of hood, this may be an option to consider...

I think we should still stick with eg even if its 400 shipped since we have it all set up and have seen their hood installed. that to me is worth 25 bucks, but if this falls apart then it would be totally worth looking into this other deal for 375 shipped, even more so if we can get pictures. just my 2 cents

Try reading back on the post. The price is $300 + tax for pickup so around $325. And Im not sure if it will include install but I highly doubt it. The install looks pretty easy so I was thinking that maybe everyone who is picking one up could get there at the same time and help each other just install it there or something.

Hey Bro, add me to the 4-Door Vented list... when do you need deposits? I just a BIG ASS rock chip in my hood, and a seven y/o hood has lots of pits in it now anyways, so 300 for a CF is a damn good deal, even it it isn't PURE CF. Is the CF on top of metal framing, or is it metal framing, then sheet metal, THEN CF? Thanks for the info, and the GB!

OH, BTW, I am starting up a GB on interior kits made from pure materials, not laminents. I'll post a link to the thread - not trying to plug or anything, but it's for E36 so I thought there might be interest...

Also, a quick tip: Put the CONFIRMED list in the FIRST post... then all you have to do is edit that post, and peeps always know where the list is at... can you tell I've done GB's before? :D

I don't know about the other guys but I'm local so I can pick the hood up. Also, I've seen the fitment firsthand and know that its good stuff. Also, having the extra time to gather up some cash is nice. I don't really need a CF hood right NOW but I will want one when these arrive.

That is correct. eG won't be offering any installations on these hoods. The garage is always tied up and the shop is always busy. I'm sure they won't mind if we have some sort of mini-meet to help each other w/ the install. :devillook

Most of the people buying the hoods with the wait are buying them for $300 due to pick up. Plus these hoods have vents and I dont believe the others do, not to mention the fact we dont know much about the other hoods. I also believe the guy said $375 shipped LOCAL. So who knows how much it otherwise, but I may be mistaken.

Hey Bro, add me to the 4-Door Vented list... when do you need deposits? I just a BIG ASS rock chip in my hood, and a seven y/o hood has lots of pits in it now anyways, so 300 for a CF is a damn good deal, even it it isn't PURE CF. Is the CF on top of metal framing, or is it metal framing, then sheet metal, THEN CF? Thanks for the info, and the GB!

OH, BTW, I am starting up a GB on interior kits made from pure materials, not laminents. I'll post a link to the thread - not trying to plug or anything, but it's for E36 so I thought there might be interest...

Also, a quick tip: Put the CONFIRMED list in the FIRST post... then all you have to do is edit that post, and peeps always know where the list is at... can you tell I've done GB's before? :D

EDIT: Here's the link for the Interior Pure Brushed Aluminum/Gun-Metal kit!

08-03-2004, 05:00 PM
Will did offer to take the hoods back if there were any imperfections with them. It doesn't mean that the product is inferior, take a look at RRdawho's review on it, it just means that emotionGarage will go the extra step to make sure that the customer is satisified.

There may be a lot of people upset with the whole payment issue but essentially eG has to do this to cover their asses. If he orders 30 hoods, which is the minimum that he has to order to bring the cost down, and everyone backs out on it then you tell me who gets screwed. emotionGarage is far from being scammers. They're a legitimate brick & mortar store with high recognitions from VW crowd and the likes.

Just a FYI, the shop didn't want to do the GB. They were APPROACHED and REQUESTED to do it. If you don't like the terms/conditions I would suggest that you jump on M3jon's gb. As for myself, I'm sticking to this GB regardless and the 1 1/2 month wait.

Also, they just need a total of 20 hoods. Doesn't matter what type they are. Just 20 is needed total.

Ok guys heres the deal. I just spoke to them today and they said that the deposit for the hoods will be $150. However, we need to get at least 20 people of any hood to do this or they are just going to forget it entirely. Also we need to get them the money before Aug. 28th to give them enough time to get us the hoods on Sept. 15.

Guys the sooner we get 20 people to commit and downpay the sooner we get the hoods. It does not have to be the 28th, it can be sooner so we get the hoods sooner. It only takes them about 2 weeks to get the hoods in but we need the 20 down payments in order to do so. So please try to get more people into this group buy so we can get the hoods sooner. Please post on other forums this gb if you can or any other way to get the word out.

You stated that there was some minor drilling /modification that needed to be done with your install. Can you be more specific about what had to be done to get the hood to fit properly? I'm sure it something most body shops will be able to handle, but I'd like to know going into it what might need to be done.
