Hey Russell,

I think that you hit the nail right on the head. I was the one that contacted you guys a month or so ago regarding the GK hood for the FC. I honestly couldn't have been more please with the service that I recieved from you guys. Unfortuneately the price was what ultimately drove to me to actually fabricate my own hood. I would've guessed that the cost of the shipping would have been more than the 1/4 that you say but I have no direct experience. By that equation, shipping two hoods in one would actually drive the cost of that hood down by approx $150 which is a significant savings.

I'm wondering if there would be an interest from people to get that cost even lower. I cannot speak intelligently on shipping costs however one thought would be to just ship a metric shitton of parts in a container and then everyone picks up at the port - or something similar. By shipping on container to say the port of Baltimore, most of the East Coast can drive there in one day. I'm wondering what the cost would be for that.

Just sort of brainstorming I guess. However, and I know I said it before, I really couldn't be happier with the service that I recieved from you guys @ RDHJapan. In the end though, it was just a little too much coin for me to spend on a hood, especially when then I had more time than coin. Thanks again though, you guys really set the bar high
