RE Amemiya Bonnets *update with pic*, Just a thought about this bonnets... Options

[lagos]

this is one of those things that would either look amazing in real life, or really bad. there wouldnt be any in between.lol it looks great on the rx7 tho.

bro that is PURE hotness you need to get that done

not sure if its too much more work but can you have your friend photoshop the more aggressive style too?
also might want to have it done on a larger picture so we can see it better

i'll see if he'll want to do it... i chose this one coz i think i'll the suit the car more with the clean yet aggresive lines/vents. the problem is its hard to get a good angle of both the cars and then add the bonnet. the vent lines on the sides should go all the way to the back of the bonnet aswell i'll see if he can modify this -R

[DSRT-FX]

i think the vents would have to be bigger to look nice... maybe 1.5x bigger.
and maybe add some gt-four rear corner hood vents and hood bonnet to perfect it. now that would look nice.

yeah the vents do look a little smaller than i thought it would have been. well this is a prototype and theres room for improvement. with the gt-four hood vents. i really dont want this looking anything like the gt-four bonnet. reason being is i want it to look something different and id rather just get the gt-four bonnet if im going for that look, in which case im not. although i'll try and add some unqiue vents that may actually look better keep you updated bro -R

ok their custom and amazing, how much you think they would run??, i know it depends but a ballpark figure

really depends on production costs and whether or not you want to modify the existing oem bonnet or one from c/f or fibre glass. the fibre glass option would be my ideal as it is easier to modify and lightweight. im guessing the $800 mark since it will be 100% custom made for the celica. -R

Hey I've got a real pic of a Celica with one of these but I dont know how to put the pic on here.

man put it up asap! lol this is how you post the pics. [ img ] url [/ img ], obviously no spaced between the brackets and url. -R

this is one of those things that would either look amazing in real life, or really bad. there wouldnt be any in between.lol it looks great on the rx7 tho.

i must agree with you 100% its hard to imagine it in photos unless you have every angle of it lol and have a prototype model but from the photo it does look pretty amazing i must say lol -R *dreams*

I still dont understand how to put it on here, I have it saved on my computer, it's not on a website. I emailed it to Player, but he hasn't put it up yet.

[DSRT-FX]

fiberglass yes best bet, i can swing 800, can you recommend a good shop that will do it, or should we use the company taht does the rx-7 hoods? mentioned in the begginning of this thread

im not sure what kind of panel beaters you guys got out there, im from australia. that $800 was a ball park price, and using the original garage, which is RE Amemiya, would cost you 10x more than the replica prices. This company is renowned for the RX7 bodykits used in JGTC -R

[DSRT-FX]

hey guys!
i've got a quote from a local bodyshop store. its going to cost me $1050 to make this bonnet.
Fibre-glass vents = $250
Molding and installation to current OEM bonnet = $500
Respray = $300
What do you guys think -R i personally think its too much!

[playr158]

ehh....i'd get them to give you the fiberglass pieces and find somewhere else to mold them cheaper..or do it yourself but otherwise i think the price is reasonably fair
do you think you could get them to make the aggressive fiberglass vents and ship them to me?

yeah that sounds like a good idea... id rather get someone else to mold the agressive vents nwayz. by myself would be too big of a task and + i dont have much time in my lifestyle do be doing anything =( i'd rather not get them too make it for you reason being is that you may not like the quality and shipping would be too pricey sorry -R

[joehernandez]

hey guys, heres the bonnet fm RE Amemiya photoshopped into my celi. I dont know which type this one is bit its the one without the front middle vent. what do you guys think of it? -R

- image by phil.

Looks great!!!!!!! i think thats a must have, but the price is tooooo high, but if you install it into your car it would be unique, good luck

[Shigexile]

looks pretty nice. i thought it wouldn't match but i'll take that back. Amemiya is a crazy guy after all.

[playr158]

well i found an option here for the states...about the same cost

they sell F/G rx7 hoods for about 250$ section and mold to your hood should cost about 500$

[DSRT-FX]

well i'll just have to wait and see if this is going anywhere.. dreams dreams dreams -R
