thanks for the compliments. It cost me ~$800.00 for parts and $100.00 to get painted. Oh the joys of working for a Toyota dealership  For the average joe...its probably gonna cost around ~1200.00 for parts and ~$300.00 to get painted (not including install). |

Heh, oh man...well, $1200 is worth it. Do you have all the part numbers? Because I know someone posted them before, and someone said not all of them were right.

No, the install wasn't hard. Just have to do the fix to get your hood open (to be able to unlatch). I fixed that quite easily. An the retainer for the hood seal can only be bolted down with 2 bolts, but the fix for that was simple and worked fine. I will post my fixes for those soon. Other than that it was a straightforward install. Oh, the stock aluminum bumper support will have to modified or taken off...your choice.

Part numbers are sitting at my desk at work...post them as soon as I get a chance... But if you do a search here...I posted then a couple weeks back
Thanks...I can't wait either. Funny part is that I am really trying to decide if I like the car enough to keep it for a while. Well see when the wheels arrive and I put them on..but so far...so good. |

hello everyone...first post here...
i saw the post with the part numbers for the hood and bumper and i went to cabe toyota in long beach and asked for the hood and bumper for the gt4... $550 for the hood and 475 for the bumper I don't get it...they said the hood and the scoops/vent comes seperate...meaning i have to do it myself? and looking at your pictures...the scoops goes on the hood so cleanly...how is it installed?.. bondo, fiberglass it on or something... I thought the hood was sold in whole...

The hood is one piece, but the pieces you are talking about are the grills that have to be inserted into the hood bulge and rear vents. By the way, where are you from. I live in Long Beach and Cabe Toyota is near my house.

go to my website (project "daily driver")and you can see pics of the hood and bumper before the grilles were added...it will give you a pretty good idea of how every thing goes in. BTW, no bondo or fiberglass needed....everything bolts together. This post has been edited by GT-4: Jan 29, 2003 - 12:53 PM |

did they tell you 550 for the hood without the inserts? Cuz if they did, you are gettin ripped off. The toyota dealership here quoted me $444 shipped. better check around to other places to get the best price. |
