Well my CF zyclone hood came in today. I'm going to be painting it along with the car (RED) but decided to put it on and see how it looks.

Will have pics of it tonight.

u could do what my friend did with his rsx he had the carbon fiber hood shot with a tranlucent blue so u could still see the carbon fiber turned out great ive also seen this dun in red to!
car looks freking nasty...and by nasty i mean really nice..i really like your rims...where did you get those?? and the cf hood...looks badass, now you should get a carbon fiber spoiler to match, and then some carbon mirrors....**** jsut make the whole car carbon fiber! haha but really where did you get those rims???

or actully never mind....i found where to get some....but are those silver...or chromium black??

wow! I love the hood on your car! beauuuuutiful! and the rims too! big thumbs up from this guy!
Thanks guys there chromnium black. I honestly don't like having a diff color hood then the car. I really think i'm just gonna paint it. The only reason i bought it was because its a lookalike GT-4 hood. And it goes with the bodykit i have. So i don't know what im gonna do yet. I bought the hood from VIS and it was about $500
Well good news, my car goes into the bodyshop this weekend. Will be taking pics of the progress, and keeping everyone updated as well.
can't wait to see the final product...

Edit: was it $500 shipped from VIS?

Ya i paid about $500 for it. my car will hopefully be going into the shop this weekend. Dustin your wanting to get that hood and paint it? If so thats gonna look HAWT.
So can you give me the guy that you prdered your hood from? lol
Now I know why you are stalling on the nebraska meet...you want to get your car decked out first wink.gif, jk, it's looking good man, I can't wait to see the finished product smile.gif

We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.
Hey celicaGT04 contact Boosted. Thats who i got it from. Don't know the exact price i paid for it.

John Markos, Hey man we need to meet up this weekend. What do you have planned on Friday or Saterday. We should hook up.
looks nice!

Thanks itchy. Well my bodyman just called me today. I'm taking my front bumper to his shop tomorrow so he can make the custom frame support and custom brackets for the 5th gen PCP clear turns. Hopefully by Sunday or Monday my car will be in there getting bodywork and kit installed.
What a piece. lol. J/k Matt! Everything sounds like its coming together just as you told me before. That hardly ever happens!

Teh Celica sleeps for Winter '06. Suspension overhaul begins........
Just took my front bumper and turns to get the support frame made for the turns and the support for the front bumper.

Bad news is my car has to wait another week before it goes in for a make-over.
Ok. I got a question for everyone now. My bodyman wants to take that bar that goes in the center of the opening out. And put two of them in there. So that the license plate can be in the middle of the front bumper but behind the mesh. I would just like the plate to be on the left side of the bar. But he thinks it would look better done this way? What do you guys think?

Here is what my bumpers going to look like. I photoshoped it.

I Think your body man's got it right. Plate in the middle.
Yup now that i look at it i think thats how its gonna be the two beams on the side, and then the plate right in the middle. But the plates going behind the front bumper and the mesh. i really can not wait till i get this done.

x2, off center plates look weird. I think your best bet is to keep it centered. symmetry is beauty.

Your car looks hot though, Just make sure your bodyman makes the liscense plate look like its suppose to be there, and not just thrown in there cheaply, or it will hurt your cars looks greatly.

just my 2 cents, Josh.

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
It will be bracketed with metal. Behind the bodykit. I'll get a picture of how his is on his prelude and show everyone. You will barely be able to see it in the first place, just because it will be behind the mesh. But i'm going there tomorrow and seeing how far he's gotten.
scroll up a bit and you will see the modified bumper.
Let me know what you guys think
yo matt......gonna look good man...when i get cs2 ill let ya borrow that but it might take a while gonna be saving up for a car........but let me know when ur car gets outta the shop so we can get the animation stuff done.
