The carbon fiber shortage I thought was over. I heard that they are readily supplying it again.

It is. That was the point. The prior price was before the shortage. During the shortage they were unobtainium. Now, who knows what the price will be... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is this going anywhere?

I think interest has been shown at the $ 1000 price point for both (like before)...

This is the price point I am going to be shooting for as well...

Multiple attempts to reach them at both locations and numbers has thus far been unsuccessful. I will keep trying and post here when I do get a hold of them

The price quoted above nuts or not is the previous group buy price as far as I recall. There are new CF sources and the shortage has passed so I suspect we could come close. I don't think it is too crazy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

SOT: but does Getty make custom hoods for other cars? i.e. 1989 Toyota Corolla GTS. Apparently there's no CF hood for this car! I've looked everywhere for one.

I think they are all Porsche. But it might be worth contacting them:

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I would be very open for this kind of thingy - even tho I would end up painting my lids - if I could get both for a grand or less I would be making out pretty good. Seeing as how by buying the F/G Getty lids for 699 a pop each.....

Save $400 beans -

I am in!

Neil was the contact: sales@gettydesign.com. I think the last group buy was $1200 or $1300 from Getty which was approx 25%. They are hand made and manufacturing costs can't be optimized much. I bought set from Mueller and the quality was outstanding.

Felix has amazing recall... Neil is still the contact and we have exchanged a couple emails. He may get back to me with a price as soon as tomorrow.

Is it possible to mix carbon fiber and fiberglass in the same group buy?
