Never heard of Trd hood vent covers. What do they look like? You're talking about the grills that is on the middle of the hood of a gt4?

[Johnnyny]

not exactly search the buying selling forum for them better pics there

[lynxiesz]

Id be interested in it as well!!

[97lestyousay]

This is what they look like not mounted, these are unfinished un anodized. I haven't got an answer for you if I can have them made,
the cad files are with my former employer unless they have been deleted. I am trying to reach him to get them but haven't had any luck as of yet.
There were three styles I made, the later versions have an extra slot on each side on the bottom, and the wrc was cut completly through on the very last
ones.

[DEATH]

I saw one in person this weekend for the first time - so nice

[97lestyousay]

Thanks

I just got off the phone with my old boss and he said, it shouldn't be a problem to get the files, I may try to work something out
to do some on his machine so we'll see how it goes. I think I can have the whole thing waterjetted except the logo, and cut it seperate.
I should know more by wednesday.

[njccmd2002]

prbably me too if you can have it made

[97lestyousay]

I have the files, now I have to have them water jetted. I will try to get some cash to get this going, it may take a week or so to get the funds.

[mad4toy]

Sound nice mate
are you gona to make trd letters engraved on the part?

Cheers

[97lestyousay]

Mad4toy they should be around $80.00 each shipped to CONUS a little more for overseas.


cyprus that is the plan, I will do it after they are water jetted, or have another shop do it.

[TinoCel]

Put me down for one as well plz! Thanks

[97lestyousay]

I have got one of my lenses on craigslist right now to try and get this going. Money is tight so it may take a little longer than I had hoped,
but I will get it going and keep everyone posted.

[mak5603]

Sweet

[KAOS]

I'd be down for a TRD one as well.

Thanks for getting back into this man!

[lynxiesz]

TRDTRDTRD!!!

[mak5603]

Any new info on this? I'm still very interested as soon as this becomes available. Thanks.

[97lestyousay]

I am still trying to sel lmy lens for funding. I am really up in the air for the trd engraving, I am honestly not sure how I am going to be able to do it.
I drew another version with some tabs on the D to be cut completly through. I am not crazy about how it looks, but I could have the whole thing
waterjetted and it would get rid of the painting of the letters.
Here is what it would look like, not blue but alluminum in color.

[95st-celica]

i like it!!

i will take a TRD off your hands

[mak5603]

Yeah, I like it, I'd get one.

[jcbass7]

I would definitely buy one as well

[97lestyousay]

I am finding other potential problems structually with the R and D area it is extremely thin
in a couple spots, I really am hesitant to try waterjetting the whole thing. I did it on the wrc
version but the shape of the C in realtionship to the R allowed it to be cut through without
strength issues.

I made a few calls and it looks like I can probably rent a machine for a day to cut it.
Once they are watterjetted, I will get some info on who wants what. I am probably
going to do a hellica if there is some demand. I will draw it up and post a sample of
what that would look like.

[sincerelyseb]

I'd buy a hellica one as long as it works with the carbon fiber gt4 hood

[97lestyousay]

It doesn't really look right the horns make it not fit so well. I could work on adjusting the slots to better accomodate it, but this is
what it looks like so far. I also thought about just the regular emblem.

Edit: I know nothing about a CF hood. It fits between the hood and cowl cover if it is an oem cowl cover it should fit fine.
I always use the felt washers between the hood and this piece as to not scatch the hood paint. I have never had an issue,
but the clear on a cf may be easier to scratch.




the logo no horns

[lynxiesz]

can you post an image of the wrc one if you already drew?

[97lestyousay]

This is one that is cut through, the other version is on page one. If I make any WRC they will be like the one on page one,
I will have them all waterjetted the same, and they will just be blank until I engrave them.

[Mr_Tee]

Put me down for the WRC

I'd be willing to prepay (immediately) if funding is a problem for you to get these started right now...I'm sure plenty of other people on here may be as well

i am in

[97lestyousay]

If something doesn't happen with my lens in the next couple weeks, I may have to do this.
I honestly don't want to accept any money until they are ready to ship. It is going to take a week or 2
for the water jetting another week for the engraving and prep the about another 1 to 2 weeks for anodizing.
I realize everyone is in a hurry but, prepaying is going to be a last resort.

[97lestyousay]

Still trying to get the money together to get this going. I have sold mine to the OP so it is going to happen pretty soon,
since I no longer have one for my own car. As soon as I get going I will start a FS thread and start getting info for what
people want.
