All the purposes of the hood spoiler you guys mentioned make total sense. Helicopters have something called a trim tab...it's a longer portion of the trailing edge of the main rotor blade. Without that minute tab sticking out, the helicopter wouldn't be able to fly right. And also the tail rotor pylon has a slight bent in the rear fairing. I didn't know what it was for but when I went to school, I learned that the slight degree bent will help keep the helicopter flying straight in case of loss of tail rotor torque...without that unuseful looking bent, it would spin like a top
 So little things make a big difference...like that hood spoiler

cool thanks for the part number.
if its cheap and comes prepainted then ill get it, if not then **** it! it does make a lot of sense tho. the gt4 hood is a lot lighter then the stock gt hood. i could see how it could use some extra support. one of my friends calims that the gt4 hood is also mostly made of plastic (or at least the bottom of the hood). i kind of think that he may be partly right because the hood is so light. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

the hood is all metal..exactly what, im not sure, but your right, the damn thing sure is light!(compared to the stock 204 one..) but anyway, the hoodspoiler dont come painted lagos,....but being black , and how small it is...i can see it costing more than a few dollars to have done..

your probably right, but if you tap on the bottom part of the hood, it dosnt sound like metal at all.

It's damn light because it's an aluminum hood.

YEP... And because of that factor, when 96 Turbo ST send it to me, the shippers dropped the box and it came with a 30 degree bent in the front and the two sharp corners in the back bent at almost 90 degrees. Is it repairable, Ray? It's been a while since they shipped it so it's useless trying to claim insurance so late.

I could probably find someone to get it toyceli8. I found some contacts that are getting me new parts for cheap like the curren taillights.
Anyways. I will ask a few sources. Maybe we can get a group buy on it????even though its pretty much discontinued. |

Do you have a picture of the damage? My hood got damaged also during shipping, but only on one corner. The body shop just bent it back. It was so minor that it was repairable. Now in your case, it depends on how serious the damage is. I hope that it was insured, cuz if it was, the shipping company should be responsible... but you needed to make the claim when you picked it up. |
