whats up with the prices for cf hood for the cobalt damn rip off everywhere you go, $900 tell me thats no a rip off, and then they say you save 75% off msrp lmao where can i get a nice cf ram air hood for a normal price? theres no way there worth $800-$900 its a rip off. and sry for some of the rage lol

 

i know its BS. I guess carbon fiber is in high demand right now that's why the price is high.

 

dont forget the $180 shiping cost.....

just get some carbon fiber hood wrap and save a bunch of money


.

 

blame the goverment....no seriously..their using it for military stuff, that as these stupid ass jumbo air mansions they call jets that, for some reason they need to take most of the worlds c/f

 

WAR = Equal low consumer carbon fiber availability = High prices

 

its stupid to pay that much , i remember a few years ago i had a 99 cavalier with cf hood and paid $400+like $125 sh so $525 shipped but $900 damn who wants to pay that when you can get a 4-piece body kit for that lol seriously they need to come down on prices or we should get a group buy together and get em for cheaper or something

 

Where r u finding $800-$900 hoods? OEM CF are usually around $400 then anything with function is a $200 more or so. The biggest rip off is shipping. Its not costing them $180 to ship out a hood. I sent a cobalt front bumper cross country UPS Ground for $9.00 @ a 40% discount. I know its a bit different but still. As long as its under 72" u can ship it UPS. Yea the cf prices are up but the shipping is way up there too.

later

 

I agree, the shipping price is out of control. $180 all because it has to be shipped by "freight".

 

my Itrenz hood was under 600 shipped lol carbon fiber dual extracvtor.... now i believe its around 900 though

 

OEM hood (one-sided CF): $400 + $165 for S&H @ Racing Solution
SS-Style CF hood: $579 + S&H @ Modern Performance

 

The price isn't because of any shortage of CF. That was a long time ago. The reason you pay that much for some hoods is because they are actually made well and have CF weave on both sides and they fit well. The cheaper ones are just that...cheaper.

 

the shottage is still in play

 

btw i think there is only one hood with cf on both side, which is the oem cf.... hood companies dont make doubble sided cf becaus they are pretty pointless

 

Limited production keeps prices high as well. When things first come out and are not mass produced, they are expensive. Take for instance, a carbon fiber hood for a honda civic can be easily had for a cheap price because it is mass produced, whereas a nice hood for a newer vehicle such as the Cobalt etc. that has a limited market will be much more expensive. Just the law of supply and demand.

 

limited market cause no one wants to pay rediculous prices lol
