We have a Toyota club running in Ireland/UK and one of our members is about to start producing a new style fibreglass hood skin for the 6gc.
(Its going to be very similar to the top-secret hood in style)


The cost of which will be determined by the amount of interest raised by potential customers.

Here is a cut of what he had to say:

"I am in talks with a new design company, about making full fiberglass bonnet skins which will have a built in scoop for the 6th Generation Celica.(The scoop design has already been decided) "

So just to gather the numbers of people who might be interested, can you post any comments or questions in the Celica forum on our site?

The link is here...

Thanks again >>

That would look pretty hot. If someone is good with photoshop could you fit that hood or something similar onto a Celica. Also, this GB might not do too well right now since the C-One GB is happening right now along with several others. You'd probably get more involvement if you waited to do this in the summer or sometime later when people have more money.

Yeah, I know what you are saying.....

But he really wants to start production asap.....that wide arch kit is going to be a part of it too.

It will widen the 6th gen by 8" in total....he's just going to be developing the hood to begin with and then the wide arch kit.

Should be different anyway...always nice to see a new item coming out for the Celica....

Remember the afterburner lights....they look awful but they are all you can get, so people buy them.....

But anyway..thanks for the suggestion everything is noted! >>

Hi. Would be interested in a bonnet, but couple of questions:

When you say a 'hood skin' do you mean a complete replacement for the bonnet or something that is stuck to the original bonnet?

Would want to see pictures before putting my name down for definate and hear some prices.

Cheers,

Steve.

I'd be interested but i dont know about widening the front, i think thats what you said? 8 inches is a hell of a lot to widen the front of the car, and iono how that would look.

1) Carbon fiber or fiberglass?
2) Shipping to the States?

Answer those two and he'll probably get a lot more/less buyers.

i have a black car so i prefer not having carbon fiber, otherwise i have to paint it because i think CF on black is ugly and painting CF is wasted money for me.


And i dont care about shipping ill pay whatever it takes as long as this hood doesnt cost as much as a real Top Secret

Uhm, would this hood only fit the wide arch kit he's developing (or would it not matter?). Also, would it have our headlight curves still?

Yup..he says that they are working on a Carbon one now too.

The first Fibre Glass skin is just about to be rolled off the "production line"
I should be taking delivery of it sometime over the next couple of weeks.

I'll get a picture up as soon as I can..

Count me in for the hood and body-kit, actually if he wants to contact me privately, I might be interested in being a distributor for his kit. Im currently working on a top-secret project for the celicas, and this would fit in fine with that.

He would be at more than an advantage by showing some sketches before making a plug for the kit. How about something like the new attack kit car. Thats the most bitchn car out there.
