Car Hood Warehouse Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 For all those that were wondering. This is what our 986 Glass Conversion hood looks like.Also for those concerned about the smaller rear window. It is heated which is a big plus this time of year and give or take half an inch it's almost identical size as the 987 standard hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickFrog Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Looks very neat indeed ! I met you guys years ago at the Motorsport show at the NEC, we had the stand next door to yours (PalmerSport). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use the original material so yes, it is as well insulated.We are based in Chessington, Surrey (KT9 2NY). We will need the car for for approximately 3 hours. You can either stay in our waiting room and take advantage of our free WiFi.If you would like to spend the day in town you can catch a bus in to Kingston (journey take approx 15-20 mins) or you can take a train (station 5 minute walk) into Waterloo via Wimbledon & Clapham Junction.

Car Hood Warehouse Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looks great, what sort of cost are we looking at?Good point. Supplied & fitted £760.00 including VAT.Also we do offer a mobile fitting service. I notice you are in Brighton? If that is the case we could come out to you for an additional £40.00 call out fee.

2828 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Boxster newbie here, just bought my 2.7 986 after years of wanting one. I got it cheap because the hood is shot, the dealer I got it from said I could get a new one from Porsche for only £1600!!!!!! Anyway it was a good bargining tool. My question is what glass hood should I go for. Car Hood Warehouse or BAS? I see Car Hood Warehouse are site sponsers and a few have bought their hood and given good feedback, any feedback on the BAS hood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickFrog Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Definetely the Car Hood Warehouse one, particularly as you are posting in their sponsor zone mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2828 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Fair enough, maybe I should post somewhere else but you can understand from the home page this is the obvious area for hood questions. I'm just trying to find out what the difference is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Car Hood Warehouse Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 A huge difference between our glass conversion and anyone else is the fact we offer a life time guarantee on the bonding of the rear window, which is something even a main dealer could not offer!

2828 Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've just been on the BAS website, they also offer a lifetime guarantee on the bonding of the rear window and their system is approved by Porsche. I think I'll go BAS route, anywhere I can get one fitted in Leeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perleman Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 The Bas one is the wrong shape if it is still squareThe car hood warehouse one will last, lifetime guarantee is pointless, how long will you own the car, average Porsche is owned for 1-2 years max I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
