celica hood conversion
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

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!

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.

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.
