    looks good!!!!

    sorry not anytime soon.

    had the hood for about 2 years now! ;) where you been? lol!

    and yes you should buy one! but buy my grabber one. too much hassle to ship cowl. i would put hoot pins on your toyota for sure. the maverick one is much differant since the latch is on the hood rather then just a U hook on the hood.

    but for safety i would put hood pins ;)

    to be honest i don't know and don't know if i ever will. the amount of time i put into it and what i get back on it is really not worth it sometimes. i also have been doing a vacinfused pre preg process now and it looks killer but i don't do them for mavericks. one reason is i would have to charge like 400+ for a spoiler! and you and i know both no one is going to pay that. ;)

    i will still continue to do grabber hoods though because the demand for that is about 20 to 1 on cowls.

    Youd be surprised, if people can throw $30,000-$40,000 into a car thats not worth half that then why wouldnt they spend $400 to get a new spoiler?

    Would be nice to see you post that you will likely not ever build the grabber spoilers on your web site to let all of us know then we won't ask. I for one have no problem with cost for top notch parts and prefer to get the good stuff. Would buy a cowl hood but I know you won't ship to Virginia.

    Mavman, are the CF Grabber hoods still available? I'm out of central California and could probably come pick it up but where are you located?

    DEALS ON CARBON FIBER GRABBER HOODS

    ok here is your chance and your only chance no joke!

    I NEED ROOM NOW! i am moving storage units and have way too much stuff in there! my hoods are just taking up too much room! i also have quite a few since I heard a rumor months and months ago about the new F&F5 movie using mavericks in it! Hoping that would take place and hoping the good old studio would buy lots of them to destroy! Lol! That DIDN’T happened! seems budget and the high cost of actors like Ty….. And The R… (I can’t say it's classified. ;) ) killed that whole idea. so leave it up to hollyweird! i now need to get rid of some stuff!

    this is all good news for you all. right now I will ship any of my hoods FREE!!!! that is right FREE! you are probably like “big deal” right? well just so you know hoods now cost a min of about $170 bucks to ship and almost $200 to the east coast!

    i will ship to your DOOR for $675 to any lower 48 states as long as you don’t live in the hicks somewhere. Ie: like a semi truck to big 6 wheeler cannot reach. DO NOTE these are for Grabber hoods only!

    you can’t get a better deal anywhere including fiberglass ones. fiberglass ones will cost you just as much after you fix them to fit and paint them! i don’t know how many people told me they should have bought my hood over the “other” ones. don’t like carbon fiber? you can paint it no problem! still will fit better then anything else out there in the market!

    anyhow get them while i have them! there will NOT be another time i will offer this. once the ones in my storage are gone, they are gone! i will make more later but not any time within the next two years probably. i am way too busy making cars for other cars right now.

    if your interested speak now or forever hold your piece.

    you can PM me here, respond to this post or email me at maverickman@maverickman.com

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    Is there a discount if we pick it up? ........ Tempting, tempting. Ive been saving up to buy a turbo, but those deals are always out there. And i would really like one of these hoods.
