clear hood - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #51928 11 posts Started by mneal2_92788
anyone ever try one of the acryilic hoods that is in the parts database? it looks pretty cool, for show cars that is.
Clear Hood
nope, but ive heard of people cutting out parts of the stock hood in-between the hood stupport structure and then putting plexiglass in those spots so you can see in etc... doubt that would look good though.
theres an eclipse convertable gst down here and the whole engine is chrome and has a clear hood and looks hawt!

BOOST GETS YOU LAID!!!!
I'd imagine you'd have to have quite a bit done under the hood to look good with that hood. I remember seeing it on an episode of CSI (Vegas); the one where the kids were street racing and one got shot. Anyways, it didn't look bad, but he had a massive turbo and tons of dress-up. Integra if I remember correctly. How much do those things run?

i think the only real qualifying celi to have this hood would be matt's yellicelli, with the beautiful engine (prior owner coomer tongue.gif)

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
I wouldn't want anything that flashy.. I mean, you have a clear hood, now everyone knows whats under there and probably a bit more prone to theft.

takin a diff note imo, when do you get to see your car's engine while you are driving down the road? I imagine it would be fun to make a camera attachment on the front of your car and watch the mechanics of the engine on the road.

i agree but i think all you would see is it rock back and forth(unless you have stiff mounts) and see the belts moving..
Wouldn't the acrylic eventually fade? I mean look at all these early 2000s cars with yellowish headlights!
