Well thanks anyway, it was a good idea.  Its all about quantity, email him

Cant blame him in a way.

MessageWell Guys,
  This is the reply I FINALLY got from the hood manufacturer...absolutely no
help....I thought most people were in business to make money.....isn't our
Tauri money just as green as the rice money ??  Oh well,
Is any one interested in taking over the challenge of trying to make it
happen, I have way too many things going on at home and work to pursue this
any further right now...........

Hi Rick,
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but we cant produce this piece for you.
We are way overbooked on other projects and fiberglass / cf pieces to start
working on something else.
I suggest looking to your traditional Taurus modification parts house.

Thanks.

  Subject: Taurus SHO hood


  I never received a response to my last e-mail, since that time I have
found
more interested parties, at this time I have several people who definitely
want a carbon fiber hood for their Ford Taurus regular SE models and the SHO
96-99 models, in addition to these people, there are at least 20-30 others
that are interested, some for the 92-95 models, all are concerned about
cost......I think a minimum order can be arranged depending on cost, I
understand the time and labor involved in creating the design and the
initial
mold set-up, but once you set the mold, the per hood cost should be much
less,
could you please give me an idea of cost for the initial mold set-up, the
first hood, and a per hood cost after that, or if need be, give me a flat
cost
for say the design, mold and the first 10 hoods for the 96-99 model, let me
get the orders and collect deposits and go from there.  How long will it
take
to design, mold and get the first one completed ?  If all goes well, I could
start taking orders and deposits for the 92-95 models as well.
  All of this is still dependent on cost and design, we definitely want to
add
some type of scoop to the design to help cool the engine compartment as well
as change the look a little.

  If your company won't do these hoods for us, can you direct me to a
company
that will ?
