Still an awesome cano though

Sure our canopies are a little more.. .but really about the same price as an Insane Canopy. Look at it this way...
$225 for paint
$40 for canopy (Vibe 50)
----------------------
$265 total
- $40.00 for Canopy cover (which is included free with our canopies)
----------------------
$225 Grand Total

This is only $40 more than Insane... but we include free customizations, like name, AMA #, custom colors, custom windshield detail... and you get it in 3 weeks guaranteed.

So expensive yes, but competitive with other custom canopies. And oh yea.. our quality is second to none

I shot this last weekend.

Interesting canopy design.

Did you paint it?

Osprey · 11-20-2008, 09:50 AM

So if you already have a canopy cover or don't want one is the price $225.00? If not then then you canopys are $80.00 more or about 45% higher cost. I like yours canopys better and you do get some cool extras. But I don't see how you can say there only $40.00 more. Unless I can buy one for $225.00 its just not true.

Osprey,

When comparing prices you need to compare apples to apples. That's what I was trying to do. Many people do not have canopy covers and we will not sell a canopy without one, our paint jobs are flawless and you definitely want to protect them.

Just an FYI... we are currently running a special right now of 10% all orders. So factor that in to your equation.

Joco,
after those prices, its not as bad. but i was told $275 + $75 for a canopy. Hence my comments about them being "expensive".

joco · 11-20-2008, 11:22 AM

invertmast.... You are correct... at one time those were going to be the prices... However we have since restructured our pricing and our pricing is a little more competitive right now.

Osprey · 11-20-2008, 02:03 PM

I’m not knocking your product and sorry if it came off that way. Just pointing out your canopies is not $225.00 like you posted. I have $225.00, can I get one? No! I think your canopies are good deal for all the extra work. Best I’ve seen under $300.00 and the little extra cover is cool. You’re trying to make it apples to apples but the products are not and it’s reflected in the prices and the quality. Till the wife gets done with residency next year I will have to stick with CanoMod, not as nice but also good value.

I'm glad to see that! I guess i need to pull the string and convince the miss' to get the one i want for x-mas

True custom canopies usually cost big bucks. Personally, I think it is worth it to have something unique. I like some of the Insane Canopies and other customs, but there are just too many out there that are exactly the same. If I don't want to spend a lot, the Canomods are nice but if I am spending a lot of money on a custom canopy, I want the only one

FlyingChef · 11-20-2008, 11:27 PM

Thanks. Yeah I painted it.
