the price i was quoted <> as compared to ammount of time i would need to set asside.
TOTALY NOT WORTH IT
without offence i think the subsidy amount needs some rethinking.
taking into account, these cars are out on the streets and people will see em and ask questions, particularily with CF parts.
with the prices quoted this thread is like a plug to sell some parts
Not really.
For $700, you can buy a CF replica hood on ebay and still get $200 change, and STILL not participate in gay shows. hahahahaha.

Too bad it's most likley heavier then the stock bonnet rofl
yeh. you would be going backwards by using these CF parts for your car as the s2k uses aluminum panels.
Weight Induction yo!Quote:

Did you forget to add a "0" to the end of that number? lol, that would make it possible.Quote:

Feel free to try out the ebay products, I'm not holding a gun to anyones head.
As I have said to many, bonnets will range from 550-600 for OEM and vented versions. A greater subsidy is given to those that are after more carbon fibre parts for their cars as this allows us to showcase more products and therefore we seek greater exposure at events etc. Not as much benefit can be seen from bonnets, rather things like doors, boots and roofs is where the real benefit is.
We have already negotiated larger subsidies to cars that have 'more under their belts' so to speak. We have already confirmed several cars that are being sponsored in exactly the same way.
We are very flexible in the promotional aspect of things. We have a coupld of single cars in states which won't need to be going to 'events' as there's simply not enough cars. Lucky for them ;)
If people have a problem with the price or promotional decals or attending things such as autosalong, then it's simple enough to not accept. No need for smart comments thanks...
Smart comments are made for a reason....
You're not a paying trader to OzHonda, yet you seem to want us to buy overpriced, under "subsidised" parts from you?
You'll see I've previously stated I'd like to see someone take you up on your offer, (see: reply #28) but you need to wake up... and get real.
Your thread is now 4 pages long, and everyone here is thinking the same.
If you haven't got someone by now, you never will. If you genuinely want someone to sponsor, I suggest you should first become a paying trader, rather than a spammer, and / or you actually approach people in PM, rather than create a stupid thread like you have.
Most of us buy genuine parts, and I know myself I regret buying the 2 replica parts I have. Ebay shit is just that, shit.
If you really were genuinely interested, I think you'd be trying to sell genuine CF parts at those subsidised prices currently on offer, rather than replica (see: shitty ebay) parts you currently have on offer. Then you may generate some interest from owners willing to pay money for genuine parts.
Just my 2c.... take it with a grain of salt, or take my advice. - either way, its no skin off my back...
