I have never done this before but I was wondering if anyone is interested in doing a GP for Ram Air hoods. I figure since Im going to order one, maybe there are others interested. I want the RAII for my 88 GTA. If there is an interest Im gonna get in touch with them Monday to get you guys more details (either way im ordering in the next weeks). Im thinking that the ASCD is the best quality hoods. I will also contact Hawks. The list price at 549 for camaro and firebird and 485 for the TA RAI and I believe this includes the grills.

 

4 weeks too late for me to get in this, bought the ram air 1 hood but still waiting on it.

 

im game for a ws6 ram air 2 hood with functional cutouts for a 84 z

 

I want a ram air II hood... but it wil depend on the price cause I really can't afford a full priced one with the shipping to Quebec

 

let me know on the price cut.

I'm interested in a TA Ram Air I hood from ASCD.

 

would be interested in RA-11 for a 87-ta- Lets see where this goes-Les

 

OK guys just touching base with you... I am going to make some calls tomorrow and get some prices and details and we will take it from there.

 

I'm interested in a RA 1.

 

I also would be interested in the ram air-I hood. Keep us posted on where this is at...........

 

OK guys I made some phone calls today. Unfortunately, the only company that you can get the RA I hood from seems to be ASCD. I called them this morning and the owner is going to get back to me tomorrow. Ill throw out some figures I got from the other companies but alot of you want the RAI over the RAII ---BUT just as a follow up here ya go.

HAWKS
buy 5 hoods get 25 off per hood, buy 10 hoods get 50 off per hood. The RAII hood cost $499 each and includes cutouts and screens installed. No decals. Shipping costs will really sc*** us with a cost of about $75 per hood. He said that the shipping will be the same for more than one hood if they are shipped to the same place but this is unlikely that we are from the same places!!
TOTAL is either 550shipped (5 or more) or 575shipped(10)
RAMAIRHOOD.COM
Same deal here. Thier hoods are 550 ea and they will give 10% off for 5 or more hoods. This is 495 ea but shipping is anywhere from 100-125 and you need to prime the hood. Not such a great deal.

As I said Im really hoping that ASCD will give us some good prices. Their hoods are the best quality and they offer the RAI and RAII. Ill get back to you guys tomorrow. I mean the 550 shipped for the HAWKS RAII isnt that bad.

I just noticed that thirdgenresource.com offers the RAI and RAII so Ill call them tomorrow. shipping there is from 55-75 so the deal may be pretty good.

 

thanks... don't forget I am in canada though!! be certain to warn those guys they have a canadian costomer before you we do a deal

 

i might be interested. i may be in the market for a new hood for the trans am. i'm undecided about RAI or RAII though.

 

you mean 475 not 575 right for 10 or more let me ask my friends to see if they want in so that way we have more ask how much if we buy 15 or even 20 maybe cuz i know if we buy alot i mean alot they would prob throw in shipping and or give us more off.
thats my .02

 

Put me on the list as a definate! I am looking for the WS6 ram air-2 hoodfor my formula. I agree that the ASCD hood is a good quality piece for the money! Let me know final pricing, I am definately in!

 

Well the best price so far is HAWKS- the prices I listed were with shipping. Base price of 5 or more without shipping is 475, 10 or more without shipping is 450...then tag on about 75 to ship. Unfortuantely they dont have the RAI hood. I myself wanted the RAII but the more I think about it Im leaning towards the RAI, the RAII may be too bulky for the shape of my GTA.

Called ASCD today and the owner could not even have the decency to call me back from the message I left yesterday. In addition I asked to speak to him and his secretary gets back on the ohone to say "hes not doing that right now (discounts)". So no go for ASCD.

My last call is going to be to thirdgenresource.com who carries both the RAI and RAII hood. These are the ASCD hoods that they are selling. I called but the owner stepped out. I guess they do GP's on SLP stuff so lets keep or fingers crossed.

 

OK guys... well after that call to ASCD they ended up calling me back. They are now going to see what kind of deal they can offer us on the hoods. The secretary (who happened to be the owner's wife) was very nice and said she would email me with some figures tonight.

Also I called Thirdgenresource and spoke to Roy the owner. He said he would be glad to get a discount going for us. On the other hand he is the one who orders from ASCD direct so he said he has to call them for prices. I did not tell him that I talked to ASCD because I want to see what kind of prices both companies throw back at us. You never know Thirdgen may be less than ASCD and vice versa. Also even though shipping may be 2-3 weeks he stressed taht he cant garentee this is a large number have to be shipped... meaning that 4-6weeks is possible.

For you canadians... they do ship to Canada. All of our shipping costs will be different because these companies are located on the east. Also the RAI and RAII hoods are finished underneath and include screens and decals from both of these companies.

In order for this group purchase to occur everyone has to mail in a signed authorization form so that they can charge our cards (mail or fax). The lady from ASCD is going to email me this form tonight. So we will take it from there. Keep in mind if any of you know people with businesses the hood can be shipped there at a slightly lower cost maybe 20 bux.

 

hey who do we pay you or them thanks

 

The purchase(or charging of the card so to say) will be made on the same day but everyone will use their own credit card and pay the company. A key is that all of us will get the authorization form which I will email you. This form needs to be signed and will include all shipping and credit card info. I assume when they receive all the forms they will charge the cards an apply our discount.The sooner we get these forms back to them the quicker the process. We can mail them or fax a signed copy over to them.

 

ok great just send me the email and i will fax it to them.
thanks
email is jocww@aol.com

 

me too, dtb355@aol.com

 

make that four. goat_421@hotmail.com

 

Dangit... if my tranny hadn't gone out....

depending on how long the process takes I might be interested... david at motorsportconnect.com .

 

I'm also Interested. When do you think this will take place, I will have the money by Friday...what about ordering the Ram Air Boxes as well?

-Mike T

 

i should be able to run this hood with a k&n filter top to make it almost like a ram air. also if i buy this hood how much more do you think i could sell it.
also do they have a hood that is primered black

 

Anybody got pictures? what's the difference between the RAM Air 1 hood and the RAM Air 2 hood? Is the 2 hood like the WS6 hood? So I guess I'm askin, What is the WS6 hood ? 1 or 2?

 

http://www.thirdgenresource.com/afte...ers__etc__?b=1

The red T/A at the top has a Ram air I hood, the yellow one down the page has the WS6 Ram Air II style hood...

HTH,

-Mike T

 

Im still waiting on ASCD. Thirdgenresoure wont go over their heads and ASCD said to me "hes still deciding if he wants to do a GP". This is really annoying me so I'll wait a couple days and get back to them. Ill tell them there is another company that will give us the discount and we are doin it with them. Bluff them a little. Ill keep you posted.
Is anyone still interested in HAWKS' RAII hood if ASCD wont do anything?

 

it seriously will depend on the shipping fee here... I want the RA II and I would like ot get it from Hawke... but the shipping...

 

How soon or late is this deal gonna go down ? You might count me in on this one if we do it next month or in july. Well maybe we'll see. just stay in touch on this board .

 

What is the difference between the Hawks and the ASCD ram air-2 hood? They look the same to me
I am still interested in getting in on the group purchase, just let me know how much, and when it will take place. Knowing the diferences between the two hoods would help too

 

Hawks RA II hood is made by GTAuto (or Ramairhood.com....whatever)
ASCD RA II hood is made by ASCD (which is known for high quality RA I hoods)

that's the difference.

 

i would also like more info oh the hood(s), airbox, total price, and date........ Thanks

 

I'm down for a RAII firebird hood. I also would like to get the airbox with it too. Lemme know when this deal is gonna go down and what kinda discount we can get. These places also offer a discount on hood shipping if you send it to a business rather than an actual home address. Just a little info in case you need it. This place has good deals for hoods and airboxes if u wanna check it out. I wanted to get mine there if I was gonna buy it solo.

The Ram Air Hood is pretty sweet but count me out now. I've fallen for the 4inch cowled outlaw Z hood. My buddy has one on his '72 454 camaro, and it makes that car. And I just saw a 4 incher on a third gen and it looks badass, sorry guys I have to go for it ! and it's only $269.

 

ok so what's the status on this???????????????

 

i've got the cash now, ready and waiting.

i want the RA1 style WITH airbox/filter, let me know if this is included.

suncoastcreations and yearone sell these as well for whoever is contacting/dealing.

Hello Del i will get with my office Tuesday and get you a complete total
and also we will be able to do a group purchase price. sincerely, rex orr

so if anyone is interested let him know that you want to get in on it and ask how much!

 

Hey I got in touch with them about the discount for the Ram Air II hood and they said the group purchase price is 495. But if you look at the website, that's the sale price already. Anyone know what's up with that? I thought we get a cheaper price than what they have it for sale already. Oh and just to let you know, I asked him if I could use the airbox with the TBI setup and his reply was, "What is a TBI?"

 

if its that much you can count me out

 

is there anyother way to pay then a CC?? could there possibly be another way?

 

Hello All i have a special price listed near the top of the appearance and detailing. check there for our prices on all of the ram air style hoods we manufacture see ya rex

 

ok so where are you all going to order your airbox's from and are we going to try for a gp on them as well????????

 

Wow took forever but they finally got back to me. The owner said there is no need for a group purchase and he will sell the hoods for 435 each. This is the RAII price. I just bought mine yesterday. Shipping to my house (MA) was 75 and packaging was 15... So this is a grand total of 525 shipped!! Pretty good if you ask me. Call ASCD direct with the 1-800 number and the discount code is SUMMESALE. GOOD LUCK GUYS!
