Default Possible CF Hood Group Buy

I have been talking to the President of AWE Tuning about a Carbon Fiber Hood Group Buy. But before this can take place, I need to see who will be interested in the group buy. If you are interested let me know.

Here are the prices for the group buy:

96-01 A4 or S4 non-vented hood $630
96-01 A4 or S4 vented hood $810
02-04 A4 non vented hood $720

Add $150 for a carbon fiber frame option
Add $100 for a kevlar weave option (specify color)

Shipping is additional, and we will charge $75 per hood for shipping,
via truck freight.

We can do this price for 10 or more hoods. At 15 or more, we will knock an additional $25 off the shipping charges.

The carbon fiber hood is 12lbs compared to the 45lbs stock hood.

I say go on a diet. It's cheaper and you'll feel better.
