Seibon MR2 Carbon Fiber Hood.

Ku-sama · 05-01-2008, 11:59 PM

I found a Seibon CF hood for $200 shipped... should I risk it?

"I just met this hot chick at a bar that wants to make like bunnies."

So what are you more concerned about, the STDs or passing up the opportunity? Only you know how much money $200 is to you.

I would make sure that the package is insured.

Seibon OEM-Style Carbon Fiber Hood 91-95 Toyota MR2 - P/N: HD9195TYMR2-OE

Raptor13x · 05-02-2008, 09:57 AM

$44?!??

The materials alone probably cost more than that.

Ku-sama · 05-02-2008, 09:59 AM

it's $150 to ship and I have bought a steel hood for my 91 corolla before with $68 shipping sooooo....

Mister2.2 · 05-02-2008, 10:03 AM

$44 are you kidding me? I wouldn't trust that. I've never heard of that site either, I would research that a bit. Google results don't turn up much at all for them.

Ku-sama · 05-02-2008, 10:05 AM

I would be paying via Paypal, so if anything happens I can get my monies back.

Raptor13x · 05-02-2008, 10:11 AM

I'd risk it for something that cheap. Is anyone in that part of Cali that can check out their shop?

Ku-sama · 05-02-2008, 10:17 AM

it's the style I want as well...

Mister2.2 · 05-02-2008, 10:36 AM

It has to be a typo so they may correct it when you order or cancel the charge. The going price is around (lowest) $448.

Ku-sama · 05-02-2008, 10:40 AM

who knows. I guess I can start the order, maybe their typo can be my benefit.

PETC · 05-02-2008, 10:55 AM

Abort. Abort. Abort. Abort. Abort.

There is no way anyone would be stupid enough to believe that they're buying a quality CF hood for under $50. Their typo is just that, a typo, and not only is there evidence here on this PUBLIC forum that you knew about it, it should just be common sense.

I can guarantee you that you shouldn't buy that unless you're prepared to spend $600.

senshi · 05-02-2008, 11:20 AM

Its definitely a typo. Just look at their other Seibon hoods they sell for other cars. They're all between $400-600. That being said, you could probably call them out on it as it would be false advertising to say $44 and then try to sell it to you for $440. You should try buying and see what happens, becuase even when you add it to cart the total says $44.

Raptor13x · 05-02-2008, 11:25 AM

We should order like 500 hoods at that price, before they change it, and pick them up in person so there's no shipping charge.

PETC · 05-02-2008, 11:38 AM

ROFLMAO

Raptor13x · 05-02-2008, 12:31 PM

We need a local, who's nearby? hehe

nodla · 05-02-2008, 04:27 PM

I think I'm going to take the risk and order this. I'll let everyone know hows it turns out.

phantomMR2 · 05-02-2008, 04:34 PM

risk it and tell us.

rgraciano · 05-02-2008, 05:22 PM

Seems like a bad ass deal
