i didnt say i would lay the cf , i'm saying it'd be alot cheaper and easier to reproduce them in cf versus two hoods with labor and such.

 

Man after debating wether or not to get the normal bbist hood or the vented my friend tells me that i can have his celica hood for free!! Now the option to do this hood is in my head, how much for a stock xb hood?? anybody...

 

call the dealer parts dept.

 

My bad hotbox, I thought you were implying that you were gonna do it yourself, b/c you said you work on your own car.

 

Man this hood looks sooooo good....


Sweet

Any idea if you are going to make copies? also would you mind if others did this on their own...

I don't like taking ideas unless its ok with the original creator

the fuji like the hood..im not cutting anything..ill buy a premade one in carbon fiber or just paint it black..but that is one sexy hood

 

too bad you can't find a pre-made one yet. He got the idea from lowbox, and then made it himself. So for now, if you want one, ya gotta MAKE one.

 

ill wait out.

 

I don't blame you!

 

IMO that would look better on an xA but still, very nice work

 

Raising old threads from the dead!!

I ordered several hoods/parts from the parts dept. today. The xB hood NEW wholesale was only $150 and no tax (so retail would be what?? $180ish...). That's still cheap even retail. Asked about the Celica hood price - NEW you're looking about $250ish. Even at a junk yard, you'll be lucky to get either of those parts for that price if in perfect new condition.

For a change - something at the dealer is CHEAP!

If you're worth a crap at body work and have a TAX ID#, you could make the hood for $450ish (or only $300 if you don't mind cutting up your stock hood). $400 for the 2 hoods and $50 for the paint (and this is assuming you don't have to buy any tools, welders, sprayers etc...).

I'd rather layout $300-450 or so for a good steel hood than $300 for a flimsy plastic hood.

 

I hear that .

 

Wow! That looks hot man. Nice job!

 

For the both of you guys who built the hood..........keep up the great modding That is one baad *****........

 

very sweet i think this is something i will have to do my self . some times you got to bite.

 

..me likes tha hood

 

that thing is really sweet. you should see if you can get it to a place where they can mass produce it- tell them you have a significant customer base (show them this thread) and make em pay ya for the design!!

 

looks hot! what grill is that? thanks!

 

i have the original vizages grille n eyelids.. they make a whole different bodykit now that im not exactly partial to. they should have stayed with the original kit
