I have a new gloss hood vent that I'm not going to be using if anyone needs one shipped ASAP. thanks

If he for some reason doesn't think that he'll be able to fill my request, then I'd be interested in this. You only have the hood vent, and no fender vents, correct?

So if anyone is on the fence about purchasing these parts, if he’s sill taking orders, now is the time to jump off and leap in.

After the wonderful post office played kickball with the box and hung on to it for a few weeks, they finally delivered it. The box was in bad shape, but the hood vent and side vents were well protected inside and they are things of beauty.

I’ve spent way more than the average person should in CF parts for my M5, including over a grand on a poorLy made and badly fitting rear diffuser in cf.

These parts for the Raptor are a steal. Love them. Now I gotta install em.

thanks, shaggy. You da man. @EL Snagadore

OMG, how the hell did I not run across this thread earlier? If you are still keeping a running list I'M IN FOR A SET OF GLOSS HOOD/FENDER VENTS! Lol, didn't want there to be any confusion. I'd love to hear if you think that you'll be able to fill that at some point, I'm a patient man. And thank you for all of the work and frustration that you've gone through up to this point.
I appreciate it bud. Honestly I am afraid I wont be ordering anymore hood or side vents. If you read through this long thread when I first did this I had everything funneled through a team, never really seen any costs associated with it outside manufacturing cost. When I went on to do it myself it has become painfully time consuming and not cost effective at all. I had to pay for shipping out, R&D mold design, shipping back to me, which is insane BTW. Then I filled out customs clearing forms wrong. I had to get an import agent to help, then fee's and duties. So I priced these items at a price where basically its what I am paying per item. Then add in the time to pack and take them to the post office. I'm happy some people got them. It was a learning experience for sure. I may try and figure out what the cost will be in total for the mirror covers and future items and price them accordingly and do that but right now I'm waiting on the last of the hoods and vents to get to me and get them to the people and figure it out from

Appreciate all your efforts, man! If we were on the list (like I am) how can we know if we are still gonna get a set? Do you know what you will be able to fill and what you won't? Thanks again for all your trouble.
