I'm seriously in!!
That's the exact hood I want!!! :hail: :hail:
Let me know.
I am going to use the correct louvers for my model /year, which happen to be the "fake decal" type.

I'm in on the IROC Turbo hood as well. I plan on buying this soon b/c I'm getting my car painted. I have the money, just let me know what kind of price you can get.

STAY TUNED...

I think the Ram Air 1 looks best on the firebird. It is the hood that Red Raif has on him right? How much is the hood and how much is the shipping? If the prices are right, I am in.

You might want to contact ASCD direct, they may help you. As well, I need to make sure this will fit with the SC so that might be soemthing you want to look at for all the different people interested.

Well, it's probably best to give the sponsors of this board the business anyway. Even if this doesn't go through I'll be byuying my hood through them.

I posted earlier about getting an IROC Turbo hood, obviously, I have a Camaro. I just got a good price quote on a paint job, so I'm DEFINITELY IN for the hood. The sooner, the better.

Sorry for the delay. I'd like to get the Turbo hood if the break in price is worth it.
#23
HUGE NEWS!!! i got off the phone with thunder racing and a gp is set up with at least 5 people ordering. they said they will give us 10% off the hood, (ss hood thats gonna be 47 bucks). not a huge huge huge deal but hey its money that you dont have to spend. post here if interested, angie from thunder racing is waiting my return reply call to see if it will be good for everyone. (incase your not good with math a 400 hood gets 40 off, 410 is 41, and so on)

So are you doing it or not? I am a bit lost. I thought you already contacted hawks?
So you are saying you are out of the GP that you started?

come on people, dont ask for people to hold your hands. your not babies, he didnt start this group project with thunder, i did. and if you want to know if they have the ram air hood look on thunders site, if they have it, the more than likely will have it listed with every other ASCD hood. anyone actually have the money and is willing to do this, not just window shopping?

Read above HE started one with hawks. Seperate from the one you started with thunder. Whoever it is I am ready to buy, but he!! it seems like it is a lot easier to pay full price, which is what I am about to do.
#31
read above in my post and i said I am the one who started it with thunder, NOT the one with hawks. he didnt even have it set up yet so how could he back out? i think we have alot of people just doing the thing, im fixing to pay full price too, cause after the price drop was listed the replies of "im in" pretty much stopped, or it changed to i dont know if i can

When is this Thunder Racing GP over? I'd like to compare it to the Hawk's GP price. With the 10% off from Thunder, the IROC Turbo hood is $369 plus shipping. Not bad at all. Hawk's list price is $389. IROC2NV, what's the word from Hawk's on the GP? I'm going to order from Thunder by the end of the week if we don't hear anything on the Hawk deal. I need the hood so I can get my car painted.

You know, I don't really care what all this ranting is about. I've responded twice to this (read above), and I don't believe it sounded like I was "Window Shopping".
C'mon guys - This can be done minus the insults.
Still interested in the Turbo Hood. I'd like to see if this other deal is better.

flyinglow,
well here in canada i think painting just a hood with a traditional colour(red black white etc) costs about 300-500 bucks so like 300 max for you guys....and it also depends where you go to have it done and what type of paint and blah blah blah.. get a few quotes b4 you do it..thats the easiest way..
i myself am just getting the whole car painted again with the hood on it so itll be cheaper in the long run..
hope this helps
