Yikes those are pricey hoods and very ricey IMO.

If they do something like the M3 I am sure people would be all over it!

Estimate cost of shipping to be around $600-$800 per hood w/o GB. With GB estimate around $400-$500 per hood.

At first I thought those were the prices of the HOODS!!! Seibon makes an OEM style hood for around the price range of the non-GB shipping. I was going to say what great prices.. and then I realized...

I'm sure they're higher quality than Seibon's.. but... wow. I am not wealthy enough.
