Default Post up underhood shots!

Not engine bays, but the bottom sides of hoods. I want to see the follwing:

Firehawk
Sunoco
Ultra-Z

I am going to be making more mirror kits, and I want to know what I am going to be getting into.

Thanks!

Here's my WS6 kit so you know what I'm talking about:

I would love one for the sunoco, but I seriously won't want it for the price as the ones for the WS6.

Well, I'll say this so everyone can see it.

Stainless steel is not a cheap material, and it will not come at a cheap cost. These are not priced to sell to everyone with these cars; just those who want to do that little extra something to have the best.

Truth is, the price is MORE than fair when you compare to other peoples' products. If you don't like the price, then you don't have to buy it. But, complaining about the pricing will not make it change. Like I said, the price is more than fair and no matter what, some people will always comlpain about the price of something. I promise if these were $150, someone would still complain while others would see the bargain. You spend thousands of dollars on performance parts; some people spend their money on appearance items.

To each their own, but some people think that $600 is too much for a hood.

Just a little food for thought

On a side note... AWESOME store ! So much cool *****! It would be so bad *** to have our screen names made like this:



And then have the CAMARO on the Berger shaved/filled and then inset your emblems in their place

Understood. I'm just stating that I am not interested for that price. I'm sure the materials cost an arm and a leg but for me personally, I would rather spend the money elsewhere. If I was loaded with money, I would LOVE a set for my car because I envy all your products. I just can't swing it for that much. I'm sure you will have no problem selling to other people

In the meantime, keep creating awesome products for the f-body community!

Not to hijack from dragonz28's thread but this isnt the first time you have came into his posts and stated that it wasnt worth the money to you. If thats how you feel, then why even post at all?

I believe the price is more then fair and looks to be a very quality piece. Ill deff. be giving you my business when I decide on a hood.

Because that is the beauty of the internet, he is entitled to his opinion. You just complai9ned about what he is doing, but then you entered a thread and took it off topic by saying what you said. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

The only other time was a thread he started requesting feedback. Show me where I said his product isn't worth the money because that post is non-existent. I am far from trashing his products as you make it seem, but am in fact stating they are quality pieces. I don't see why you are getting offended?

If you were in the industry of automotive aftermarket parts, you would know that these business owners thrive on customer feedback. I'm sure dragonz28 uses this feedback to his advantage and adjusts products or prices and I was just stating that ME PERSONALLY, not everyone, was not interested for the price.

Sorry dragonz28 for the hijack, but lets get back on topic
