Something just sounds terribly wrong with that statement.

Smile FEELER: Carbon Fiber Hood Design

Alright guys, Good News. We have completed the design. Now it works like this....

When ever the Bulk Buy open's, we will need AT LEAST 25 people to participate in order to off set the cost. I've paid to be a forum sponsor and also paid the Group Buy Fees. Its just a matter of time before we get turned on. Nevertheless, The supplier is pushing me to get the ball rolling, and I would hate for all this work to be lost.

The Price

25+ units @ $1,249.00

35+ units @ $1,099.00

50% deposit needed up front to start production! The remaining balance will need to be provided within 25 business days from the start of manufacturing. Manufacturing will take approximately a max of 40 business days. All hoods will be inspected & test fitted prior to shipment. Each unit will be insured at $1,499 a piece. All shipping claims must be reported at time of pick up or 24 hours after delivery.

I believe this is a really amazing price, not only because this is the 1st Hood produced for the crossfire, but quality time has been put into this effort since October of 2009 and the end result is amazing. Furthermore, even with the design enhancements of the prototype back in April, I believe all in all this is a great purchase. This product offers a different look that will set the crossfire apart from the other Chrysler Counterparts, while enhancing the vehicles appearance and shaving 30.2 lbs of weight out of the car. You can spend anywhere from a couple hundred to over thousand dollars on many of the small parts see on this forum. So, from a 1st hand perspective, I can honestly say this product deserves 5 Stars in relationship to best bang for buck.

#4 Step Process
  • I will compose a solid list of everyone interested.
  • Production will start once the Bulk Buy opens and 25 deposits are received
  • Remaining balance must be received 30 Business days from the start of production
  • Product will be available a Max of 40 days from the start of production.
As soon as the official Bulk Buy opens & 25 deposits are collected, production will start. Depending on how many participate in the Bulk Buy, all additional savings gained by more participants’ will be applied to each individuals remaining balance.



Shipping

Shipping will be very reasonable depending on your location, International sales are welcomed. And even better if you and a friend or three get your hoods shipped to the same address you can save. Local pick up are also welcomed.


Please PM me if you have any questions. If your not a forum member and you’re a guest contact me at crosseffects@gmail.com

The bulk buy will officially end 30 days after receiving the 25th participant.


1) Hoods will be guaranteed to fit.

2) Hood pins will not be needed; nevertheless it’s your choice



"All aftermarket body kits / hoods are sold AS-IS with no implied warranty. Buyer is responsible for fees concerning installation and up keep of the products. Buyer understands that some products are for off-road use. Check with local state laws before order. Buyer understands their preference to use after market products and due to strict State Laws each buyer will be responsible for any damages/possible injury incurred due to any condition. All units are manufactured with fiberglass and carbon fiber. We recommend that a professional body shop perform the installation. "






1) Direct replacement to factory hood

2) One-piece lightweight fiberglass construction grants stability without sacrificing strength

3) Unbroken carbon fiber weave layer and true rolled edges provides for superior beauty

4) Signature glossy UV-protection clear coats adds durability and longevity

5) Functional hood vents helps Increase heat dissipation from engine bay
