[HADI-ZR1]

Hello Z Folks.
here is the Carbon fiber Hood made by my kids !
the original hood weight 47 Kg !
our Hood is only 17 kg. about 70% reduction in weight! :rolleyes:
I design those Open ducts for my Z! the hood made without ducts!!.

Price will be $ 2300 for Hood! ,shipping cost ,I dono! if you deside to order this from me, you can contact some cargo company to handle it, and i will take care to arange that for you!
i will be glad for group order, price will be reduced $100 for each!
and shipping will be even lower to one preson compare it one order shipping!

I would like to know are you going to pay for tax when you have any product to USA? and how much % ?! so let me know if any one is intersted and like to have this light weight hood! the hood (inner,outer) is Exactly the same as factory!

The inner skin and all holes and studs in place!

[DaveK]

Shipped from where Hadi?

[Bell Curve]

Shipped from where Hadi?

Yes & why the holes in the hood:confused: Looks like a good way to flood the engine during a storm.

Don't think it rains much in the mid east.... 100 year flood?

Hadi, what would be the final cost of the hood, plus shipping to mainland USA?

[Bell Curve]

What about when it does rain or all the dirt and sand? Wouldnt a high rise hood make more sense?

[DaveK]

Might work better to get a group purchase together - get them all shipped together to one point and then redistributed from the US. Just a suggestion.

[Jeffvette]

What about when it does rain or all the dirt and sand? Wouldnt a high rise hood make more sense?

Depending upon what you are looking for in your hood functionality, a high rise is usually used to clear a taller manifold stack. The vents he has is for clearing out air.

And some people are willing to take a little risk on water/sand or other elements. Just a matter of personal taste.

[HADI-ZR1]

Shipped from czech Rep.
i think it should go by truck to Germany (maybe Hamburg port) then shipped to USA.

[HADI-ZR1]

jeffi , i realy have no idea , i must ask about shipping cost and find the cargo company do this job with fair price!
i have no experince in this damn country! :(

I think if you order this hood with other guys ,say 5-6 hood , it will go in Container , it will be very good idea! since i order my ZR1 from USA (michigan) and sent her in container to Germany, and it cost me about $1000, but nowdays i dont know the cost.
When i will be free i will try to find, but believe me, i have no time at all, since i am working with my car and still not finished, and i had argument with those kids too because of slow working and some errors,.... and still my car didnt finish! :neutral:

Final cost $2300 , for 3 or more will be each $2200 ! I swear i have not that much profit from this Hood.

[HADI-ZR1]

The $USD value sucks and getting worse!! so Czech KRON became so high,when it was chit! :D

my Z cost me 18.500 before 2 years, and at this day USD value , my car cost $15000 !!
To bad i bought my car so fast, I could buy ULY's Red Z :cry: and save much money than now!!
Might work better to get a group purchase together - get them all shipped together to one point and then redistributed from the US. Just a suggestion.
this is what i really saying!

[HADI-ZR1]

BTW , my orginal 1990 hood weight = 100 lbs
My CF hood now weight = 37.5 lbs. with 2 ducts ! 36 lbs. Without Ducts!
--------------------
the next Hood production i will Bring it to 30 lbs. No open ducts!
the profile outer and inner will be exactly the same as orignal Zr-1 hood! :cheers:

[HADI-ZR1]

i am not going to do holes in any next hood production!!

i did this just for mine. its like Sledgehammer Callaway duct!:mrgreen:

[djpatrick35]

That's a NICE looking hood Hadi! The weight loss is also great.

Nice job!

[HADI-ZR1]

That's a NICE looking hood Hadi! The weight loss is also great.

Nice job!
thanks bro , hey did you find other Z ? :icon_scra

[HADI-ZR1]

Guys,
I asked one guy about shipping Continer(which 1 Zr-1 can go in) i dont know how many feet is it! it cost around $3200 but the guy not sure how much exactly cost, maybe there are other company, i will update this soon!
when i have free time i will find out the cost!

tomorrow it will be Corvette gathering in Prague 19 July, i think i will miss it :(
the car still not finished, the Hood and front Noze still not fixed. i will wake up at 7:00 AM and go to help this Guy to install parts and I hope at 10:00 Am this job finished and go fast to gathering this year!:confused:

P.S Some cargo company in USA has agency in czech Rep. to ship parts or car to USA, its easy for you to find out there how much cost for hood shipping.
remember the hood is 37 lbs. !

[Locobob]

Sweet, nice going Hadi. I like the scoops, adds some extra pizazz. Trade ya some fancy port work for one of those hoods :thumbsup:

[HADI-ZR1]

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p183/hadi-zr1/DSC00522.jpg

i will lower the rear 1 inch soon.
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p183/hadi-zr1/DSC00520-1.jpg

[HADI-ZR1]

That was the day when i missed the corvette gathering in Prague this year :mad:
http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p183/hadi-zr1/DSC00513.jpg

[cuisinartvette]

That looks really slick, Hadi! I wouldnt sweat water...It will just run down the side of the motor or a arms anyway..
Bet it works great in getting rid of underhood heat.



P.S. Are you pregnant yet? :eusa_shhh

[A26B]

Looks really great Hadi and functional as well. Good work!

[-=Jeff=-]

looking good.. you have some more photos of the front now?

I also noticed the rear bumper was different, I assume the reverse lights are not required? what did it take to flush the plate like you did?

Are you also not required to have legit tags on your cars over there?

[HADI-ZR1]

Jeffe,
the rear is orignal callaway, but i cut the middle and made some hard work to it so it looks like that! better,nice and looks wider to vision.

btw. the overall rear width is the same as 06Z06 !!
yesreday when i was driving my car back to prague as you see from photo shot, one zo6 came fast to my rear and slow down, guess he was surprised cuz he saw the wide azz :mrgreen: and the he went fast next to me so he show me how to play ! petty i couldnt behind him, cuz my friend was in the next car behind me ( i rent that car and wanted take it back) and i didnt want he lost me!:dontknow:
Jeffe , my car still need lots of work, i have led kit for rear marker, and even back light, you will see nice job soon when i have free time!
today i removed the rear mufflers to polish it agin and remove rust and Man the sound is WAAAW :jawdrop: , love it!!!
you wanna hear the real sound of LT5?? then remlove the mufflers!:worship:

[-=Jeff=-]

Jeffe , my car still need lots of work,

Yeah so does mine.. it was in poor shape when I got it

So do you need to get the correct tags for the car to drive it there legally?

[HADI-ZR1]

So do you need to get the correct tags for the car to drive it there legally?
i dont need to change the TAG , i just need to make international insurance there, i did once $500 for 2 weeks with michigan tag!:mad: cuz one police was angry with me and he told me what if i was in USA and i drive the car without car paper and insurance,sure they will :censored: me and send me to jail,
so i told him i am not American guy , i am kuwaiti!! :p

most police here leave me when they check my car,and they should,cuz they will feel sorry and when this sweety wouldnt be driven on their city!:rolleyes:
Jeffe, the front noze,and rear bumper need more time to adujsted .

[djpatrick35]

thanks bro , hey did you find other Z ? :icon_scra

In a word, no... But I have a new job, so my "saving up" process has been accelerated. Hopefully I should be back in a Z by next year.

But I have to say that the completed product's looking pretty good. Great job Hadi! :jawdrop:

[cuisinartvette]

Gotta hand it to you Hadi, diggin in your own pocket to experiment and come up with this. Not many out there have the passion for the car to this extent....OR are insane enough to try. =D>

Did you tell the cheap bastard to pi$$ off?

[HADI-ZR1]

Thanks for guys who sent me PM.
Anyway , I know how Lowest price I made here. No where you can find!
Trust me, i need every $1.00 these days.
I need to restore my Z,and i have many issue i must finish with the car.

The guys who made this hood, is hard to produce the same hood, no time, and his father had health problem during this year.
I have some other stuff of my Car with them ,and I myself haven't got time to visit and talk to them regarding other carbon stuff to produce. :neutral:
My guess , it will be no way to produce the same carbon Hood in near future.
so take this chance if you have $$ for this fair price .
IF the time come and my guys has time ,i will Never sell the same hood less than $2000. i am serious.
the CF and other material goes high price nowadays!!
If i sold MY Hood, some day i will make the same for my Z again.
for any question feel free.
