you can pull off anything that you can think off. Unfortunately as things go your celica will no longer be a celica.
A job like this yourself would run you into more problems than you can poke a stick at unless you are a professional body guy. A job like this in a shop would cost you around 1500 just to fit it all together nevermind the paint. -------------------- Captain Pessimist

I wouldn't worry about a Celica pulling it off when that car can't even pull it off

If you want vents on the hood save yourself some time and money and just get the gt4 hood.

I dont know everyone seems to be in the safe zone in exterior modding. Like that matte black wide bodykit celica that was in a thread before, i rekon that looked hot. If i had the money i would experiment. I just love the dirty "i dont give a crap" drift spec look of a car, even tho front wheel celicas cant drift. -------------------- |

Well man, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I honestly think it looks terrible as its probably a $15 hood scoop that was supposed to be added to the hood/smoothed/color matched not just riveted down. Its the kind of product that is sold with the words "adds the look of performance." Most of us want function/style that's why people were saying to invest in the gt4 hood..it adds style and function if you were too add a turbo.

You dont have a GT4, so dont put a gt4 hood on it.
If you really want bonnet vents dop some thing origional, but definately not that. |
