6G Celicas Forums

6gc'rs, lets see your hoods, specifically crazy paint jobs aftermarkets and customs. no need for plain old OEM or plain GT4 here, just looking for the oddballs.
If you have a custom paintjob or anything special on the bottom of the hood, lets see that too!

Aftermarket hoods: Please post manufacturer and material
Custom hoods: If you could, list if you did the mods or had a shop do it, in case anybody has any fabrication questions.

Thanks!

I'll start and edit it once mine is actually on my celi. I'm told that it's Vision Motorsports, or ViS, and it's full fiberglass except the closure loop.
3 coats of white, a few to go, then on to more wetsanding

Oh that's nice. Who makes that and material?

hood info added for mine.

DEATH-thanks, and i was opening this hoping to see the bottom of your hood.

Can do - BRB.
This is the best one I've got I think but I'm sitting next to a camera and about 25' from the car so if there was something you needed to see better of LMK.


I'd still like to know what material that hood is made from - looks really really nice - can't wait to see it painted and on your car
Edit - NVM - Saw your personal thread on your hood. looks great so far - finish the paint already I can't wait to see how this turns out!

OOH damn jester! I really dig the hood and the MR2 vents in the side too. You and Super are the only ones with that hood that I know of. It's the Altrac/Caldina/Levin scoop right?

Heh heh... I'm working on that hood right now actually... I've already got the scoop. I was having second thoughts but after seeing that I'm not having second thoughts any more! Looks great!

yup sure is ive still got that hood just incase my C/F one takes a dump lol thanks for the comments

updated 1st post with new pic

DEATH - full fiberglass except for the latch loop.

OMG! That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! I love it! Excellent choice in color (then again, I am totally biased!). My GOD! That is super sexy! HOT HOT HOT!

Holy crap! Jester! Your car is look swwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! Are your parking lights red? Is that legal? Damn that looks so %$@#n good!

Thanks man. I'm trying to keep it simple on the exterior but accent some things for when you pop the hood it just jumps out. With the hood closed the only red you see is on the Brakes, IC piping, the couplers off the turbo and the one on the cold pipe next to it. Also the red on the JDM tails stands out and I accented that by making the sidemarkers light up red [Look black when unlit tho].
Probably not exactly simple but clean IMO. Thanks for the comments and BTW I just noticed a pic of yours somewhere yesterday I thought looked really nice - the red rims works for you IMO.

Hey thanks Death. But seriously, I love under your hood. I want mine to look like that someday, once I get the courage to go through everything and take it all apart. It's just that this thing is my Daily Driver and my only car. Perhaps when I buy the Mazda RX7 FC, I can go through this thing and fix it up more, even with just regular maintenance. I love it the work though.


Oh and thanks for the comment on the rims. At first, people gave me a hard time and looked at them strangely. Since then though, you have no idea how many people in my city alone have started copying me after seeing me roll by. And it continues today. Now, I am actually glad I got them and went with something a lil different.
