$30,000 1997 Tiburon.
I personally don't like the hood on any car but a transam
However, just because a few of us on these forums (I SERIOUSLY doubt there are 2000 active members, let alone users with an opinion) dont like the hood, that doesn't mean what we say is God's word.
If nothing else, he's committed to his taste. Kudos for that.

Word.
Who's to say what is 'good taste' and what is 'bad taste'?
People do have different tastes guys. If we didn't we'd all have a car that looks pretty damn similar to the next. How boring would that be?
What kind of stuff does he have under the hood? BBTB and a 4-2-1 header? lmao.gif
All show, no go.

but the hood you are trying to sell that was made by him is, as you say, good quality
Yup. Mine happens to be the first made. He actually had it on his car for some time. Still has minor issues though. The Ram Air ones are pure crap. From looks, to construction.
Crap.
QUOTE
How can you tell it is an E-bay kit?
Because it is? Show me a kit called "Shogun", besides the GTR copy that Erebruni made. Still, even then it's a cheap kit.
Don't get mad man, it's an ugly hood, on a ugly car.
QUOTE
and why every time someone questions your "authority" do you feel it necessary to make a negative personal comment about that person?
I don't, it just happens. LIke so. Why are you defending the ugliest hood ever made on one of the ugliest tibs ever? That's right, because you have one.
QUOTE
I think it is time for YOU to grow up and accept the fact that people have different tastes.
I think it's time for me not to. Good taste is in the eye of the beholder, just like Rice. But when the majority of the folks in the world with accurate eyesite and regular color vision say something is uglier than the H3, then it probably is.
QUOTE
you just have this arrogance about yourself that I think is just a cover-up for maybe having no friends as a kid or something.
LOL I'm very easy to get along with. I just don't like shitty customer service, shittily built parts, or folks that support them. I had plenty of friends as a kid, and that has nothing to do with this topic at all. Everyone that knows me or has met me in person knows that I'm very easy to get along with.
QUOTE
Ban me if you would like, but I was only responding to your personal attack.
Uhm, this isn't NT.com doode, we don't ban folks on a daily basis. In over 2 years, we've got 5 folks banned.
QUOTE
I don't really care who you are, or in this case, who you THINK you are, I will never bow down to someone on a power-trip!
And no one cares who you are, or who you think you are. We all have seen your car, and the pics of it in the Ugliest Tibs Section with the ghetto button/velour upholstered interior. I will NEVER bow down to a ghetto pimp.
No more OT here youngun. Warnings will be issued.

Alright, easy you two. REDZMAN is mostly right, the car is pretty well ridiculous. Although he may be a little rough on it, a lot of what he says has some truth to it no doubt.
Showoff, you knew the perception of your hood around here. It got mixed reviews, personally I don't like it. But, to each his own. REDZMAN was stating his opinion based on the fact he had dealt with the hoodmaker previously.
Keep in mind man he was knocking the hood, not your car. YOU took offense to that, and attacked him. Not cool.
REDZ play nice.
****************************
Oh, and with the car. How the hell did he spend $1000 bux on hidden switches. Seems like they're so hidden that he can't even find them.
The body looks like garbage, the kit flows like sh!t, but the paint is nice. Anyone notice that last pic with the darkness over the car. That does look pretty good.
As for the projector, those are getting popular man, especially at shows/meets. If your near a wall you can play movies through your headunit. Pretty damn cool if I say so myself. I have a freind that mounted one in his blazer. It's pretty neat to see a movie start playing on the ground, or wall next to you. That is a pretty crappy spot/way to mount it though.
Mad-Machine, I knew you would start getting ideas with that overhead gauge holder. Pretty cool but again, kinda impractical (sp??) to say the least, would be tough to see, and you'd have to take your eyes off the road.
Dammit, I could go for hours.

anyway.. the car is not my style nor the hood.. some people like it some people dont.. i think that car is worth about 15k alot of work done to it, and if body work, glass work, and paint work are good i could see it being worth that much...
no as far as parts in car and how much it costs.. hell fvcking no... projector??!?!? why the hell?? w/e not even gonna ask.. hold on lemme go get my fold out 84" board, and then get the screen for the projector.. and my measuring tape so i can put it 25 ft away, and some rope so people dont walk by...

Yeah, I get carried away and often think of the days of old when I would rip into Brad/Yamenenko all the time like that.
SHit, I was banned like 3 times from HA.
LOL
