I am thinking of going with a Hood scoop for few reason but the main one is that they look more custom that buying a CF hood at least thats how I feel. I am leaning towards EVO WRC Style what do you guys think???Link for scoop
Check it out and tell me what you think. CelimanST [/CODE] |

I don't remember who, but I remember seeing someone on here with the universal WRC Celica (part #PA259A) and it looked pretty good, maybe someone else knows who's car that was and can get a picture.
Also, there's a thread going about possibly starting a group buy in a custom hood, but who knows if it'll actually go through. A TRD style carbon fiber hood group fell through not too long ago because they couldn't ever get 15 people that wanted and could afford it. |

U custom fit it into the car so if it doesn't fit well it means u messed up and shoulda had a pro do it.

well... u know what my favorite erebuni hoodscoop is...
but i think it would be cool to see a celi with the EVO scoop on it. it'd be something different, and would work especially well if you're going for a more agressive look. if done right i think it'd look pimp as hell. and then there is always the option of doing a really really custom thing that i was going to do but decided not to do. heres the jist of this idea. you get a CF hood. you get the hoodscoop of your choice. you get the hoodscoop molded onto the CF hood. you get the hood painted around the hoodscoop and back behind it, giving you a sweet ass custom look and a nice CF look as well. if you dont understand i could draw it out, but its a pricey endeavor. its like $400-500 for a CF hood, those hoodscoops are around $150 and then who knows how much it would cost for the customization work, probably more than usual because they would have to protect the CF hood and be very careful not to get any fiberglass or anything past where its being painted or the whole thing would be ruined and you would just have to paint the whole hood, which would still come out looking sweet as hell, but if you're just going for looks it wont be what was wanted, but the dropped weight and cooling will help performance either way. its risky but would look sweet if it was pulled off. you would probably be really lucky to get that for less than $800 including the materials and the labor. prolly a better idea to just get a hoodscoop, but if u want something that will never be replicated the CF thing would be the way to go. |

Yeah I think thats the one I am going to get. Does anyone have any idea of the cost of having something like that done. I went one place to get a quote and they said they wouldn't do it because it takes all the strength out of the hood. Now I really don't care about the strenght but I do want it to hold up because money is a rare thing being a college student. CelimanST |

I have the same hood scoop that Pvc99gT has grafted into a celi hood for sale..
It would cost you less to buy it from me than to have the whole thing done but its up to you.. heres a pic of it $250 plus shipping.. can't beat that.. I'll actually lose money but with my GT4 hood I have no use for it at all so its just takin up space, I'll even throw in the bra for free -------------------- 99 project version 3.0.. hello SEMA 2010 =) |
