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.

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!

Have wanted them for a couple of years, but like others, cannot justify almost a grand to get them.
