Sorry, my computer is giving me problems. It somehow deleted the whole first message I said & messed up on the pics to. Lets try again. Tri-Point sent me some pics for the 2001+ Protege CF Hood. You see the first 2 pics in my first post & the third at the bottom of this one. If you do want to get this hood, please e-mail me with your name & e-mail address & if you are ready to get the hood now or later (like early next year). If we have enough people (10) ready to get it now, Ill start the ball rolling with Tri-Point. I just think I like this one better than MHP and its a little cheaper. The Fiber Images people never got back with me. The price on the Tri-Point will be 455.00USD & shipping. Shipping could be from 80.00 to 150.00 depending on where you live & Im trying to get it shipped freight collect so we dont have to worry about figuring out shipping & you paying me for shipping, the delivery company will just get the shipping payment when they deliver. Makes it easier & quicker for both of us! So, e-mail me if you are still interested. I will try my best to get ones for the 99-2000 Protege but right now, I think I have only 3 people interested & Im going to need to show them there is more interest so they will be willing to get the mold & make them.

That does look good with a silver car. Now they just need to make one for the '99-'00 Proteges...

Yeah Eric, I think we need 7 more people to commit to try & get Tri-Point to commit to making one for the 99-2000's. We can do it but it may take time! Go out there & drum up some more customers.

Count me in. But unfortunately not til march or april of 02. It's gonna take a month just to replace the whole front end of my car . The other person is paying for the damage as it wasn't my fault. But I'm still without my car for a loooong time.

I think the CF hood is around 8 pounds. The stock hood is much heavier but I havent gotten an exact weight on that. Anyone else?

Smile CF weight savings

Tri-point told me that their cf hood weighed about 17 pounds, and the stock hood weighed about 28 pounds...Something like that...There was about a 10 pound difference.

stock hood must weigh more, at least 40 pounds from what I felt lifting it up....... 28 pounds is nothing....

And if the difference is only 11 pounds, why get it then? It doesn't look that great, and that's a lot of money. Give me 450$ US and I'll run for four hours and lose those 11 pounds, same thing....

99-00 CF hoods buyer count

awesome, we got another one! so, here's the list (short). please respond if you want to be added. Keep in mind that this list is for the 99-00 cf hood and NOT the 01-02 hoods


99-00 CF hood buyers:
Jeremy T
Jeremy D
Eric F
biknman

I beleive tripoint told Jeremy D that he needed to get 5 buyers. So, we only need one more. I hope someone chimes in. Spread the word on Protegetech, etc. There's gotta be at least one more person that wants one!
