Let me know if you want to sale your take off hood.


Cody apparently solicited you / wanted to buy your hood......no sale?

Since PartsRack can also offer US-Roger's "Diamondback" hood, it makes better business sense for PartsRack to take a used hood in trade (wholesale of course), than to buy YOUR hood outright so you can simply buy elsewhere. Im trying to be practical, not difficult........

P.S. If anyone thinks XYZ, ABC, ME2 or anyone can sell used hoods all day long for $6000+ you are sadly mistaken. That is just truthful fact. In fact, I would probably buy the beer for the Hood Sold Party.

I bet you i sell my hood for $4800.00, maybe not as soon as i'd like but i guarantee it will sell since others like X2, Partsrack, and other places sell them for AT LEAST that much. Some places sell them for even more, i was looking just to get compairisons and i've came across a range from 6-9k :eek: all over the place. I've already been offered 4k twice and 3700 locally. But i'm going to stick it out and wait till i get what my hood is worth.
just my opinion

I think it's Viper owners that are killing the prices by selling them cheap just to make a fast buck. IF we sold our OEm hoods for at least 4500 we would still be outbeating places like X2. Partsrack, and other various viper parts suppliers. Am i right or am i right?

Now granted there are stipulations if a hood has been damages, repaired, or re-painted etc then i can understand them going for cheaper.

Hey do i get a beer if i sell mine for 4800? haha

But i do hear what your saying about selling diamondbacks and giving trade in's, it's the only thing you could do other wise you wouldn't be making money.

Just for shiggles how much does parts rack sell the DIAMONDBACK hoods for? I havent even seen one on the website?

To all you the Viper Owners on this forum:

Hi, I am Scott’s wife, Joyce. Neither Scott nor I have monitored the Viper Club forum for quite sometime. However, a customer, a friend and an active Viper Club member informed us of a thread that was being posted on the board. Scott wanted me to stay clear of the forum, but our friend mentioned that my son Nick’s health had been questioned, well, here I am. As I read the posts, I have taken it personally so here is my response to all of you.
How dare any of you to question my sons health! My son is currently in remission. It is one thing to mess with a persons reputation, warranted or not, but to attack our family, or any family for that matter, well, that is just shameful. My son was very sick, and I thanked the Viper community at the time for all they contributed to him; viper bench and in particular the prayers. I particularly thanked Adam for all he did. And Adam, if you are reading this, I hope, knowing your family situation as well, that you won’t condone anyone who messes with family matters. I treasure my family’s health more than anything. Without that, we as human beings have nothing! Adam, I hope and pray that your family is well. Scott also had open heart surgery from problems arising back in September of 05. He underwent open heart in April of 2006, twice in two days. I am not stating this as an excuse, nor do I expect or want pity from any of you, as I know you don’t care. As a matter of fact, knowing how you people are and what you will say, you are probably glad! It is pathetic and shameful, that grown men like yourself will stoop so low as to attack and question someone’s health, especially that of a child! If any of you question any of our health problems, if it so important to you, do your research and find out. Come to Florida by all means, get our hospital records, do whatever pleases you.
I give thanks to God everyday for my family’s health and all of you should give thanks for your own family. I also hope that those who have family health problems, that God will be by your side as he has been with us.
Life is too short, as I have come to realize, and definitely not worth the aggravation from those who chastise us in the Viper Community.

And while I am here, Roger, “all gloves off as you stated”. You were paid in full for your services. However, as you know at the time, we had never met. You wanted to be paid in full without us knowing if those hoods fit any of the Vipers. As a matter of fact, I remember a conversation between you and me to that effect. I told you we were going to send you some of the money and you wanted it in full and you even asked me why. I was honest and told you that we had to be sure those hoods fit. You asked me why I didn’t trust you. I told you it was not a matter of trust it was a matter of fitting. As you had mentioned, you did not have a Viper at the time to fit these hoods. Every hood had to be fitted before you sold them. As a matter of fact all those hoods that you made, none of them fit. So I think we were justified in not paying you in full right off. When we went up there to see you, we paid you in full and picked up the remainder of the hoods. As of today, we still have them as they are no good. They are basically junk. You even mentioned that you were not going to make those hoods anymore since you had such a problem with the fitting. Roger, I have all the e-mails of your responses and your apologies for the hoods not fitting correctly. As a matter of fact, I have an e-mail of just a few months ago apologizing for something else.
On Anton’s hood; you had to send him another hood because the first one you sent him didn’t fit! Again, Roger, I have all e-mails verifying all of this. Anton, we sold you the hood, Roger made the hood, it didn’t fit, and Roger sent you another one. We didn’t manufacture the hoods in house. Right now we are doing all body panels including the hoods in house. All of our hoods and parts are fitted before they leave. Please do not mistake this as an advertisement, because it is not! As we had to take responsibility for those hoods not fitting, I am just stating a fact. That stated, Roger I sincerely wish you success in this business as I don’t wish failure to anyone.

For those who question our e-bay sale. Again, this shows that none of you have anything better to do. Get a life! This viper is not the blue one. Car fax is correct, it was originally red, now it has been modified and it is yellow! For those who think it is the blue one, do the research, I know you have the time!

Last but not least. This is not up for discussion, as I mentioned, we do not monitor the board. Make no mistake of that. Neither I nor Scott I assure you will read your responses. You would be just amusing yourselves as you find that you have nothing better to do.

As you amuse yourselves, just leave my family out of it!

Sincerely Joyce

What about the money you and Scott owe me? This is Michael Brito. When do you plan to repay me?

Well being as how I've already exhausted myself on this whole situation... let me say juuust a few things and I'll keep it short... First, I guess I should say hello to the "new owners" that bought Elite 10 months ago?!?!?!? Also... I have pleeenty of emails of my own saved right here so I have to say that I'm not to worried. Was I apologetic and concerned about customers having issues??... hell yes... I never wanted to be building parts that didn't fit. And that leads me to ask Joyce is she remembers why infact the hoods didn't fit???... I already addressed that in my previous rant. It always helps if you bring the moldmaker a part that fits in the first place. If you give me a faulty part, it will be replicated... into identically faulty parts. It's just that simple.

Is there a way that all the people that have been screwed over by scott can come together and file a law suit? Any lawyers in here? We can let this go unpunished. He has screwed way too many people.

Im going to make a post about this.

That woman is full of it. That joker of a business owner only called me back ones in one year since he sold me that hood and that was the conversation when i told him it didn’t fit, that was the last i heard of him. There’s no excuse for guy.
