cant wait to see a new design idea, especially some new hood ideas. Ive been drawing up some hood ideas of my own, just not 100% yet on any.
And may sound dumb but what happens to the rain water in the top of a gt4 hood? does it just fall on the engine?lol seems kinda dumb Cause i got some ideas but the water is the only problem im still wondering about -------------------- |

I actually hate bodykits and all things fiberglass, but that is one badass looking car.
You should totally paint it like a stealth jet, And how wide of a wheel will you be able to run? |

Thanks guys much appreciated glad you like the style of over fenders well wheel size is gonna be a considerable difference I've gotta finish my engine swap first thgh which is also a rear wheel drive conversion that's all I'm saying till it's done lol I just decided to finish the body first thgh before anything else.

You should convert it from a fastback/hatchback to a flat back window like the old stingray corvettes.
Keep the pillars though |

Good idea but not quite the look im going for consdering iv already done a rear supra conversion plus I like my hatch as this will be an ocasional street/compition car when I deem it necasary...

Keep the pillars though you know that the low pressure point slows down the car, right? that was a problem on my 1991 MR2, thats why people make covers with vent holes like the ferrari F40, to at least reduce the drag created by the low pressure point behind the cockpit -------------------- white 1997 Celica GT***FOR SALE
