C-One Carbon Fiber Hood, WHERE CAN I GET IT??? Options

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Ive been eyeing up the C-One hood for a long time....its alot like the GT-4 hood, but meant to sit flush with the USDM bumper. I figured maybe i could get one b4 my repaint this summer, but my question is where could i find one??

I'd try http://www.takakaira.com, but be prepared to fork over lots and lots of $$$.

yeah man, you have to understand importing something as large as a hood from Japan is gonna cost you some serious $$$. you're probably looking at something in the range of 1500 to 2000 once everything is said and done.

Way too much money for me

just to clarify, nothing from C-One has anything to do with the US celica. the hood was made to sit flush with C-one's body kit for the non-GT4 celica. but that may or may not be the same place as the US bumper. I've never seen a pic of a car with the C-One hood that didn't have the C-One bumper. AND since the C-One Non-GT4 bumper looks a lot like the GT4, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't match up to the US bumper. Either way, you'd be paying 1500-2000 for something that MIGHT fit, and that will take 4-6 months to get here, b/c in Japan they don't keep shelf stock of body kits, they make one after you order it.

Yeah, i guess that makes sense......i thought maybe if there was either a stateside distributer of C-One products or anyone who had seen one on a USDM celica before, maybe it would be feasable, but it doesnt sound like it from the looks of things and potential costs involved.

From looking at pics, it looks like it'd fit fine.

Here's a pic of cybahunk's car. He has a C-One front bumper with a stock hood, and it looks like it fits fine and doesn't create a gap.


Also, here's a pic of C-One's carbon fiber hood on a Celica without a C-One front bumper.


And here is a pic of C-One's body kit with C-One's hood. If you look closely, you can see that the bulge in the hood indeed does end before the front bumper.


Those pics are pretty convincing, and if you need more information, you could probably contact cybahunk and ask him if there is any gap whatsoever. Hope this helps.

coomer, those are excellent points. i was just trying to get all the info out there, those are great pics. i just didn't want someone ordering a JDM kit and not have it fit thanks for the correction!

Its the same as Veilside.... they have kits for GT-Fours, GT and ST.

You mean the hood is the same as Veilside?? i didnt think they made a hood for us.....thanks for clarifying tht Coomer, i was pretty sure it fit according to their site. Does Veilside make a hood like this, or was 0Re0 talking about something else??

[FallenHero]

Not that I know of. Where did you come accross that hood?

I was talking about the similarities of the Veilside and the C-one front end. How one of the bumper has that bulge.

[0Re0]

Here is a closer look without bulge on front end
