I think there is a GT4 latch group buy on Celica.net if i am not mistaken wont the latch fix the gap.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.THanx.

the gap will still be there as far as I know... the latch just holds the hood

The latches will give you a certain amount of movement/adjustment of the hood up and down and back to front, however, I guess you will still have a slight gap.
To fill the gap, have you thought about a booster vent insert or perhaps a double vent - like the C-one front bumper.

booster vent doesnt do anything for that area, id say you are spending a ton of money on this car as it is.... just buy a freakin GT4 front OR GT4 bodykit front end.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
I dont like the booster tunning vent.. though seriously about it but decided agianst it. as for the GT4 front.. I really dont care for it either - its nice and all but just not me, and I have spent so much time making my kit exactly the way I want it I dont what to go through all that fitment agian - getting tired of working on the celica, basically just want it done >biggrin.gif>

newayz heres a little better photoshop job of what I am thinking.

my only concern about it is that the edge of the hood is gonna be the onlything at the top of the opening and am wondering if its gonna look funny cuz that's not something that you usally see on cars.

but I want to do this or something like it cuz of possible cooling issues. my intercooler takes up the whole front area of the airdam and I know that air is gonna still hit my radiator but the last thing I wanna do is mess around with cooking the coolant.. so I need to find a way to get as much air to the radiator without causing too much drag.

BTW anyone know of a company that sell a performance radiator for the 6gc??
