Seibon is one of the premier makers of Carbon Fiber products, including hoods and trunks. I can vouch for them first hand as I have one of their hoods on my Time Attack STi as well as my gf's R32 GTR. These are great quality and light weight. They are a direct bolt on to your car and exact replica of your OEM hood/trunks. Installs should be very straight forward and easy.
As for how this group buy will work...Once we have 20 confirmed for hoods and trunks (that is 20 hoods and 20 trunks), I will ask for everyone's NON-REFUNDABLE 50% deposits -- thats $200 per unit. Once I have ALL deposits here and in hand, I will give Seibon the greenlight to start production. From that point, Seibon estimates about a 60 day turnaround to get them to me. Please note...the time frame is an ESTIMATE only...it could be quicker, it could be later. I WILL NOT refund your money if it takes longer than 60 days. Please understand, I will be bearing the difference of funds minus your deposits to get them made. If you back out, I will have to use your deposit to help sell/store the remaining units.
Please notice, that if you had mentioned that you were a maybe, I removed you from the list. Sorry if you are offended, but Maybe is not an accurate measure for a group buy. We need solid commitments from people. If you don't have the money yet, start saving now. This group buy will end at the end of this month (December) or sooner if we have enough committed to meet the minimum requirement. If we do not have enough people with solid commitments by December 31st, this Group Buy will be CLOSED and no deposits will be taken.
Im not trying to be irritating, and if i am, then sorry in advance.
But, little details like will there be keyholes on the trunk, or will it be a blank canvas, because the 93-94 ser have the keyhole in the inner light, and the 91-92 have them on the side(i believe). On another note, i believe the inner light for 93-94 are a bit longer than the 91-92. So when production does hit, are these factors going to be considered, since not everyone has the same year ser's. Thanks for reading, and again, im not trying to be an a-hole.

The keyhole sits in the same spot on the trunk regardless of year.
Estimation on weights is usually about half the weight of the OEM parts. I can't specify exactly because they don't exist yet...I'm basing this off of the products I've seen them produce.

This is a group buy based on the purchase of 20 of each unit. Lets concentrate on that first! I'm sure you will all agree that the price i've set it at is more than fair...especially considering these are no longer available. And don't forget, I've put myself and another coworker on the list...we're in it with ya!
9 more for hoods and 12 more for trunks! Scott you may get more interest if you at least put up a thread on the other forum linking people here.
Agreed, Scott mentioned he has this GB under Staff-review on the other forum.
There is that rather disastrous GB on trunks over yonder that went in the sh*tter recently, but that should not affect this GB. Totally different players, different game.
Googling both Fontana Nissan and Seibon gave me the warm and fuzzies.
