Hi Ray,
is this the homepage?
http://www.rt-performance.com

Is the structure and color of your hood the same parts of the vincent_doggy offers?
I ask only so that the hood to hood spoiler fits together.

I'd like this hood models more wink.gif

I dont think people realise how much of a bargain this is.
Even in the US you will be looking at about nearly double this price.

I hope this could tempt some of you.

Wow. how did you find us? Yes it is.But it's not finished yet and we're not trading online yet. only via word of mouth and in forums.

our hoods are not the same as the C-One hoods but OEM style.

Trunk lids are in progress. We've been working on it for the past few months and its not ready yet. Hope fully by summer and will cost 1 third less then the US ones.

AS for Vincent, though we're working together to bring you new parts, I use multiple suppliers and differnt from Vincents project. However the CF type and spec are the same so the black CF should be the same.

Regarding fenders, we've not looked into it yet but if there is a market for CF fenders with or without vent or 10mm wider we can do it. We do take on request provided that there is a demand of al least 10.
Currently we have a lot of projects going on not just celica's and CF but engine internals. But we're keeping things quiet till everything is ready.

Nice empty shell you have there. The web page should be ready in about a months time.
We will retail these hoods at £450 on our website so you should make the most of this offer.

1)Kaos, Canada
2)chacha, Fresno, California 93727
3)6g94celica, wisconsin 54615

I'm going to hold out till end of this month to see if I can get anymore sign ups.
If its just the 3 of you and not 10 as I hoped for I'll be sure to PM you an offer.

Got a couple questions for you if you dont mind chinaman....

Firstly, man this is a good deal, but i wont have the money in time to make this group buy...oh wells...

Anywho, is there any weight savings to be made with this hood when compared to the stock one, or is it just for looks...
Secondly, i tried to navigate this site here http://www.rt-performance.com/ as i think its the one you mentioned before, but it wasnt working for me, so now i ask you this...
Is there anyway you can sell these hoods to people after this group buy, on a person by person basis? Or will the site above be the place for future orders?

Oh and would you ship to APO/FPO address? If you could that would be awesome ^_^

We weighed this up in the GT4OC quite a while back and I think the stock hood was actually a bit heavier then that. I 11.5 I believe and my ones where 3kg lighter.
However compared to the stock ST202 hoods its a holl of a lot of difference because the stock ST202 hood isn't alu and weightsabout half an elephant.


Now your questions:
You know you have a few months to save up dont you because I dont ask for payment till I recieve the hoods?
Yes this does save weight and its for looks too.
As for our website it's still underconstructions so you wont find much there.
In future when we do launch our website you will be able to buy our products and this hood however we will be retailing them for £450 not at this special price. However we will be offering discounts to forums on group buys but the offer will vary depending on time of order, amount and currency and exchange rate.
I've just finished a very good group buy over at the celica club for raised scoops for the gen 7 celica's and everyone is very happy with the discount and quality saved.
If you can I'd suggest putting your name down today as the offer ends tonight and I'll be placing my orders tomorrow morning.
HTH.

Ray

Only the ST205, I know

So the aluminum hood which it formerly was OEM should weigh 10kg
Now you get only steel hood and they are harder

Sorry I didn't understand your wording.

The OEM hood on the ST205 as stock are alu and weights 10kg. Yes that's true.
Non GT4 celica's have mild steel hoods which are a lot heavier.

I saw there is a cooling panel on your new homepage as well.
Do you have a price for it already? Shipping to Austria.
