i decided to copy lowbox's idea for the celica hood conversion
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...ht=celica+hood

here she is not painted yet cause i was doing a final test fit. i have a little bit of sanding left to do before i throw a coat of paint on her but she looks fantastic as she sits





i have a few step by step pics to add later

 

Let me get this straight... does the celica hood actually fit the xB???? Or are you just saying that it is the Celica-STYLE of hood?

 

no i did like lowbox did to his hood... i took a stock xb hood and a stock celica gt hood n cut the centers out of both.. welded the gt center into my xb hood n whalah!

 

looks good both of ya'll made awesome lookin hoods. i love it.

 

Someone needs to mass produce this hood. I want one :D It's Sweet

 

"i took a stock xb hood and a stock celica gt hood n cut the centers out of both.. welded the gt center into my xb hood n whalah!"

Got it. Thanks. Sweet mod, BTW...

 

ive been contemplating making a fiberglass mold to make either fiberglass or carbon fiber copies

my friends uncle builds boats so he works with both materials.. gonna try to persuade him to get to work.. haha

 

That hood kicks booty, I want, I want, I want.....Mass produce that hood and I am shure everyone will want one including me. I think it has the best profile out of all the hoods Iv seen....NICE JOB ! :

 

yeah a cf version would rock hard!!!! id love a fiberglass one too.

 

That's not the only thing you copied.

 

Wow, call that xB "Bee" for short, cause it's busy!

I really like the hood!

 

i must say that's a really nice job there - so far the only vented hood that i think looks "right" on the box, accentuates the lines very nicely, and not too overboard to make it look taky or gross

excellent mod!

what else???

It's damn near impossible do something that's not already been done by someone else unless you starting getting a little crazy (like lowbox did with his hood)

He did give Lowbox credit right off the bat.

 

thanks window..

yes i always give credit where credit is due.

i have made frame braces that were similar to other companies.. but not copies cause mine used different tubing.

or do u mean the foglight vent that i had previously stated as being a good idea n that i would copy it

or the aftermarket fogs down below that are similar to lowbox's? which i didnt copy..ive had that idea for a while but didnt wanna do it until i sold my factory set of foglights

 

.......not to mention that I myself said in Lowbox's thread a few months back, that when Igot around to finding the time, I too was gonna rip his design off ... make a few changes I think that would improve the design, to make it mine - but no mistaking where the idea came from.

 

thats HOT.. I want one in CF and paint the little top dealio to match my factory BSP..

 

i just stared for a few minutes til i felt the drool drop!

 

sweet hood!.. the front end looks MEAN!... lotsa stuff going on, but looks ultra-clean... nice job!...

 

It's cool, I could really give a "cit" (no swearing, i'll just make like the moderators) about what people do to their cars.

 

Love the hood. Skills...
Where did you get those fog lights??
