I have a ST205 insulation, is not brand new but you can use it as a template to make a new one, and reuse the plastics that if comes with.

Same size and shape hood, it should work. The mounting clips might be in different places where the GT4 hood vents are but that should be about the only difference.

So i might have to trim the part where the vents are. Hopefully the clips would be in the same location. I wanted the insulation because the engine bay gets dirty.

do you have the engine covers under the car? without them, the engine bay gets dirty quite easily. the insulation does nothing to keep the engine bay clean.

I do have the covers under the car on both my celicas. I am planning to put the gt-four hood on my 96 that was on my 95. The engine gets dusty and grimmy on the 95 when I was still driving it.

 Also If I remember correctly, it has a black plastic so that if rain falls in the vent it will feed out to the radiator (or wherever it falls to) -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

i use the st202 one to the st205 gt4 hood
-most of the clips need to be relocated -you need to cut the parts where are the vents and you will save a lot of money cheers --------------------  |
