I have yet to hear back from Graham, I sent the email on the 12th. I think Monday or Tuesday ill give the shop a call and see if i can talk to him personally. Not sure if the shop will be closed for MLK Day...
I don't think he would try to blow this off due to the amount of money he would be making...

Called the shop and got no answer, sent an email with the information again via the contact option on the webpage. I also sent an updated list of people to him.
Now its just a waiting game... I hate this part...

Turned out he did have the flu, and my First email did not go through. I got all my questions answered, to get the group buy discount we only need 10 hoods, my next email is going to ask him if we can get 15+ people on board if he would knock off a few more bills, and if we can get 20+ if he will do even more.
Here is all the questions I asked him, and the answers I got in return.
We need to fine tune what everyone wants on there hoods and a shipping zip code, business would be best and we need to figure out who is going to pair up with who to save on shipping.
Everyone needs to find shipping buddies in the same state or close to one another. If you cannot find a shipping buddy you will have to pay shipping in full to your address. If you can find a buddy you need to work out details among yourselves, which Zip the hoods are going to be shipped to and how to split up shipping, (more info about how to pay when 2 people are splitting shipping is coming. Im sending another email to Graham about this) A business zip-code is best as you save almost 100$ in shipping alone.
Below is all the options you need to give me so I can put together a detailed list for each buyer. This will help Graham and I stay organized and make sure everyone gets what they ordered. Please only answers the questions that apply to you to help filter out misunderstandings.
Your First and Last name along with your online handle (username), wants,
1. Do you want heat extractors on the hood? (allows heat to dissipate from engine bay faster)
2. Do you want Street Scene Grill inserts? What finish? (choices are brushed, chrome, black chrome)
3. Do you want the standard grill mesh that Moore Offers? (only comes in satin type finish, view photo)
4. Do you want your hood to work with a CAI/Blower setup? (This routes the air to the passenger side)
5. Do you want your hood to work with an open element filter? (This routes the air directly over the TB)
6. Do you have a Supercharger on your vehicle and need the hood to work with this system, please indicate the type of system you have.
7. Do you have an under-hood light? (If you have a light already, this hood can be made to work with it)
8. What color of decals do you want? (choices are Red, Yellow, Silver, White, Black, Chrome)
9. What state are you located in? (With general area in the state to help other find shipping buddies)
10. What is the Zipcode to have the hood shipped (Please say if its a Business or Residential Zip code)
---EXAMPLE---
User - Chris Henderson wants,
Heat extractors
Street Scene Inserts, brushed aluminum.
Open Element filter
No under-hood light equipped.
Black Decals
TX - DFW Area
76247 Residential
Photo of the hood you will be receiving. Grill mesh may very depending on mesh style you choose.
Heat extractor option (vents in rear of hood)
Heat extractor view and open element intake option.
Under-hood view with Cold Air Intake passenger side option
Default Grill Mesh Style (If you do not choose Street Scene Inserts)
Here is all the questions I asked him, and the answers I got in return.
Q1. Everyone wants to know the prices of the hood with a bulk discount or whatever you can put together for them.
--A1. In discussing the discount issue we settled on a straight $50 discount on regular hoods OR a $75 discount on Heat Extractor hoods, that way a
customer purchasing a more expensive hood will get a bigger discount. There is no fair way to tier a discount but I suggested a 10 hood minimum
to get this price.
Q2. Price of shipping the hoods, can you stack hoods together to save on shipping, rough estimate of price across country?
--A2. Shipping quotes would need a destination zip code, we can ship 2 hoods for only a $20 price increase, so you can save a lot of $$$ combining a shipment, there is an $85 additional charge for shipping to a residence so please try and find a business to ship to! I will be glad to get a freight quote if we get a zip code.
Q3. A couple of guys want to know if you ship to Canada, if so how much you think that's going to cost, or can they pick it up at the border?
--A3. We can/do ship to Canada, some customers send their hood to a location in the U.S. and come over the border to save the import duties and other fees, if this is not an option we can get a quote from FedEx Freight International, and estimate the fees and GST, the actual freight cost is comparable with sending it somewhere in the U.S.
Q4. Options for hoods if bought in bulk, as in can people mix and match options, or do they all have to be the same?
--A4. The options can/will be whatever someone decides on, there will not be any extra charges for altering their hood, only if they wanted the Heat Extractors will there be a price increase.
Q5. A lot of people want the "street scene" style of grill, is this possible for you to get a hold of or do we need to buy our own and supply it to you?
If you can get the SS style grill inserts what would be the fee?
--A5. If a customer wanted a particular material in their hood opening apart from what we offer then they would have to supply the material themselves........I am contacting Street Scene to see if they offer a section of material we can use for several openings etc, if we can get this then we can divide the cost between several people, I'll keep you posted.
Q6. If you can get SS grill inserts can they choose which finish they want on the grill?
--A6. If we can get the Street Scene material the popular styles would be brushed aluminum, chrome and black chrome, there may be a minimum number of each if we order a batch of a particular mesh.
Q7. What does the stock mesh you use look like, and does it come in different finishes? What type of grill mesh do you have access to? Photos help if you have them.
--A7. I have attached a photo of the stock material, it is a half-inch expanded aluminum with a satin type finish. (See photo in #1 post, or end of this post)
Q8. Quality of hoods? Some member complained that his old hood didn't line up correctly ( photo of customers hood attached.). Another member had problems with the hood cracking by the hinges over time. Are the locations you mount the hood reinforced with steel plates?
--A8. All mounting points are reinforced with steel plates, I have not heard of issues with cracking etc, we have been selling this hood for seven years now and have a good reputation for producing a quality hood, anyone with issues concerning their hood should call us so we can correct them.
Q9. If the group buy goes through and someone receives a wrong hood, or a damaged hood, what options do they have to send the hood back or have it repaired?
--A9. If a hood is received damaged it will be the responsibility of the freight carrier to make it good, either by paying for the repair or replacing the hood, it is such a rare occurrence that it should not be a concern.
Q10. If a hood does happen to not fit correctly, what options does the customer have?
--A10. We pride ourselves on making a quality product, it there is an issue with our hood we will make every effort to make it right in a manner that is fair and honest.
Q11. When the group buy is finalized and all the details are worked out and we come upon a decision. What type of payments do you accept? Paypal, CreditCard, DebitCard, Checks, Money Orders?
--A11. We accept Credit/Debit cards, checks and Money orders, with the last two methods there will be a clearance period.
Q12. Say we do get around 10-20+ people buying the hoods, what would be the turn around time for having the hoods made and when would we need to pay?
--A12. We think the fairest method would be first ordered/first shipped, normally we can get a hood delivered in about two weeks but this will depend on how busy we are and how far the hood has to travel, we will advise customers on expected delivery time at the time of ordering.
--A1. In discussing the discount issue we settled on a straight $50 discount on regular hoods OR a $75 discount on Heat Extractor hoods, that way a
customer purchasing a more expensive hood will get a bigger discount. There is no fair way to tier a discount but I suggested a 10 hood minimum

DEPENDING,.. On what the BOTTOM line is for the cost of the hood, I
might be able to get bone-cut-rate shipping from Roadway
to my wife's family owned business here in the Chicago area,
(Far-south-side). The rates they get are great.

I'm still talking to graham about the prices. I'm trying to work out a better deal for everyone and also figure out how we are going to get things shipped and billed correctly. When it comes to splitting shipping and such. When I hear back ill let you guys know. I told him if we got better deals more people would jump on the gb.
