you can pull off anything that you can think off. Unfortunately as things go your celica will no longer be a celica.

A job like this yourself would run you into more problems than you can poke a stick at unless you are a professional body guy. A job like this in a shop would cost you around 1500 just to fit it all together nevermind the paint.

It costs $1500 to attach a vent these days? I am now changing my career path to professional body guy.

Lower pressure behind the raised up front part will cause air to be sucked in without causing as much drag as a forward mounted scoop

If you want vents on the hood save yourself some time and money and just get the gt4 hood.

no its not called a gt4 hood, what i posted was a hood scoop.

Im just putting it out there. I dont know everyone seems to be in the safe zone in exterior modding. Like that matte black wide bodykit celica that was in a thread before, i rekon that looked hot. If i had the money i would experiment. I just love the dirty "i dont give a crap" drift spec look of a car, even tho front wheel celicas cant drift.

Well man, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I honestly think it looks terrible as its probably a $15 hood scoop that was supposed to be added to the hood/smoothed/color matched not just riveted down. Its the kind of product that is sold with the words "adds the look of performance." Most of us want function/style that's why people were saying to invest in the gt4 hood..it adds style and function if you were too add a turbo.

Just my .02

You dont have a GT4, so dont put a gt4 hood on it.
If you really want bonnet vents dop some thing origional, but definately not that.
