Ok this some ricer $hit I know but I have no choice. I need to pic up my GT4 hood from Ngofcukingway butit's approx. 60miles away through the city of Houston and I have no truck. Just the Celica. If you've seen my Audio/Video thread you know I have no room in the hatch for anything.
In order to pick up my hood I have but one option - Take off my stock hood and drive to his place and instal the GT4 hood and then drive back in style. Anybody know of any reason why this would not be ok? Minus the obvious freak rainstorm, bird dodo in the wrong place or something flying off another car and landing in my engine bay. --------------------  |

Yeah. I shouldn't have said "popped up" - it still doesn't pop up but the first 2 days with the new hood the release inside the car didn't do anything. Now [I just checked it again], I have to hit the release inside before I let the manual release on the front just like the stock hood except it doesn't pop up. That's even better - I have my alarm hooked up to the hood but I feel extra safe knowing a theif will have to get inside the car before he can get inside the hood.
Still wish I had gotten your hood but black doesn't look bad at all in the meantime. Makes me wanna paint my whole car flat black. Only downside - my header is getting uglier because it rained to day. -------------------- |
