GB: GT4 Carbon Fiber hood - CLOSED Options

[yellowchinaman]

I've had many requests to arrange a group buy for the OEM ST205 Style Carbon Fiber hood.
All hoods are made from a single sheet of tightly woven carbon fibre which is woven on site to ensure consistency and quality.
The material used is High Quality 3K twill carbon fibre fabric, 2*2, 200g/m2 with multi-layer UV coating protection with a built in E frame and fiberglass undertray.
They are all meshed through out and have bonnet catches installed along with marked pre drilled washer jet holes.
They will not fade as they do not contain any organic materials.

I retail the GT4 hoods in the UK for £450. If we can get 10 or more we're going to sell the hoods for £360 plus postage (£100 USA and Canada or £80 anywhere in Europe) in hope that people will be happy with RTP products. Thats half the price of a branded hood.
However this offer cannot be offered to UK and Ireland customers.

I accept paypal but you'd need to pay the 4% charge on top of the hood and postage, or you can send it as a gift but do email me your details.
I also accept TT transfer or bankers cheques and the hoods will be send once its cleared.

I offer a 6 months manufacture garantee based on fair wear and tear or refund withing 14 days prior to fitting.
Normal road use detioration such as stone chips do not count. Drilling or painting or any modding of the hood voids the garantee and because the hoods contain no organic materials, its non-bio deteriatable and will not turn green or fade in the sun. All the hood are treated with 15 layers of UV lacquer laqer.

As these where intended for the ST205 GT-Fours, they will have a small gap on the front where its raised on the hood if you intend to fit it on a non turbo 6G. Quite a lot of people quite like this gap as it acts as a vent but what it also means is that you will need a GT4 latch which you can get from your local toyota dealer as the GT4 latch is a bit longer.

These hoods are unbranded and are from from my own company RT-Performance which is due to launch in the next 2 months.
I sell other hoods as well as ST205 hoods. Do take a look at my photobucket pictures to see what I have in stock.

Here are some picures of my hood on my car and as you can see the quality is flawless.







As they are fresh from the box:





I dont ask for payment untill it arrives to me and that I've checked every item and all tax paid for in the UK and ready to be sent out.
Unfortunately I've not found a US rep for RTP and cant send direct from the states yet.
I will be placing an order at the end of March and it takes 2 months for it to arrive to me in the UK then I'll dispatch it straight to you.
This means you can put your name down now and still have time to save up.

Please start the list by putting down your name and country.

Any questions please feel free to ask me.
Many thanks

Ray

Got a couple questions for you if you dont mind chinaman....

Firstly, man this is a good deal, but i wont have the money in time to make this group buy...oh wells...

Anywho, is there any weight savings to be made with this hood when compared to the stock one, or is it just for looks...
Secondly, i tried to navigate this site here http://www.rt-performance.com/ as i think its the one you mentioned before, but it wasnt working for me, so now i ask you this...
Is there anyway you can sell these hoods to people after this group buy, on a person by person basis? Or will the site above be the place for future orders?

Oh and would you ship to APO/FPO address? If you could that would be awesome ^_^
