hey guys, i contacted VIS about making a custom carbon fiber hood for the 94-99, it would be styled after the TRD Supra hood, with the four vents in it... so imagine a OEM style hood for our 6th gen with these vents in it.
 this GB is, once again, personally motivated, i need a vented hood for my turbo kit, but i think this would look amazing on any 6th gen. i've enquired about it, and we need 15 people, i've also asked about pricing, waiting to hear back from them. if you are interested, please post, any questions, let me know, contact info is in my sig. coomer, if this is in the worng forum, just kick it to where it should be. I SHOULD clarify, this will not be through importfan, this will be directo from VIS, i just used a pic from importfan.

that was tried, and man, i don't think it will work. see with the TRD hood, you can modify an OEM hood, put the vents in it, it's fairly simple, they already have that. with the gt4 hood, to get the raised middle setion, they'd have to totally fabricate a new hood, and those vents are tough to do and would have to be totally fabricated, which would be $$$$. also, you'd have the argument, do we have it match the GT4 bumper or the stock bumper. and they need a sample hood to make it, so we'd have to buy one of those too, so they could design it. it could be done, but i expect the hoods would be well upwards of 1000 each based on the labor involved. i can enquire about this AFTER this buy goes through with the money... but please don't post about it, don't contact VIS, let's not get them confused. if you want to you can PM me about it, but let's stay focused on the TRD hood right now. see this way, we have sweet hood, and they have all the info they need, they make a hood for us already, and they make a TRD hood for the supra. they have the hood, they have the vents, all they have to do is combine. easy.
