Suicide Hood - Final Pics & MSRP?

[precisiondyeing]

Here are the pics from the fully fabricated suicide hood kit.

This kit will fit any 02-06 Ram 1500, regardless of whether it is a SRT or not. The jig is built to produce them commercially now, and the kit is completely bolt-on. There is NO welding required and could be installed easily by any shop or individual.

It comes with pre-painted and ready-to-install:
* Radiator Support Bracket
* Modified Hood Latches (Both engine and chassis-side)
* Springs and Hyrdaulic Shocks
* Hood hinge and bracket support

I might try a group buy on the kit as an initial offer. We have not decided on a price yet, and the purpose of me posting these pictures is to get everyone opinion on what it would be worth to them. I encourage as much feedback as possible. Thanks.

This is where the suicide hood hinge connects to the lower radiator bracket support.

Not sure what they are worth but id think between 3 400...

It costs me more than that to manufacture. Remember it's completely painted and ready for install. Would there be any interest at around $1499?

im not tryin to piss ya off but thats nuts my kit was no were near 1500 to build and its completley powdercoated if i was to throw it out there it could be reproduced easy for 500 with maybe a 200 increase for profit

 

[redice2]

yeah 700 i would be a lot more likly to consider 700 when i get to that point in my building and such. but 1500 i got enough people around here good at fabing stuff for me i could get it a lot cheaper than 1500

 

[bigredv10]

700$ would be nice... for 200$ worth of metal:dontknow:

i dont know bout his kit but mine whole hood and grill come off together with 2 bolts and me and my wife can easily do it

 

[kennygene]

I like the OEM hinges much better. Pull the latch and raise it out of the way!!!!
