I just got off the phone with a guy that can get Carbon fiber hardtops with all the hardware for $2400! I am thinking hard about that! I need to sell more cars! .

$2400???
What brand???
I carry Seibon here at work and can't even get that low of price for myself.
Are you sure they aren't fiberglass?

Also WTH, you're selling your S still aren't you??

They are Siebon hoods! I actually called the guy about Evo parts and told him I had a S2000, that's when he said he had a ton of parts for us.

Let's put it this way...
If you can get them for $2400 w/ all the hardware, buy 50 of them...
Do a groupbuy....
You'll make a killing! No selling the S for you.
I thought about doing one on them, and my GB price would have been in the ballpark of $2900

that is what I am talking about fool...if you can get them for that low I would most definitely be interested...I am really thinking about using the factories overseas to start making some fiberglass, PVC, ABS and carbon fiber pieces...they are hurting for work.

I just had them quote a lip for an S2000 based on some pictures. Minimum to make will be around 50 pieces...but, in carbon fiber they are coming at anywhere $ 95 to $ 105 a piece...add freight and taxes/duties we can have these in the US for around $ 150 ready to sell...charge $ 299 a piece, make really good money...

I am really thinking about going ahead and just doing it...I wish I lived in NY or CA so that I can get some more audience... *thinking really hard...*
