RE Amemiya Bonnets *update with pic*, Just a thought about this bonnets... Options

[DSRT-FX]

Hey guys,
I've been doing some research and scoping things out, but there just doesnt seem to have too many different types of bonnets for our cars. I know we can get the GT-Four OEM Bonnet which i love, the C-One bonnet and also the VIS. All these bonnets are sexy in their own regards but i want something different and something thats going to suit well for my car. I know this company called RE-Amemiya, many of you may know them. Although they only specialise in RX-7 Mazda cars. Anyways C/F on black cars dont look as good as white or any other colours for that matter. So i may want to modify or create my own unique bonnet. Im actually very interested in seeing what this bonent would look like with my car. I may be able to photoshop this and see what your opinions are. Maybe with the people who have the skills and talents may be able to do this for me. -R

i think the vents would have to be bigger to look nice... maybe 1.5x bigger.
and maybe add some gt-four rear corner hood vents and hood bonnet to perfect it. now that would look nice.

yeah the vents do look a little smaller than i thought it would have been. well this is a prototype and theres room for improvement. with the gt-four hood vents. i really dont want this looking anything like the gt-four bonnet. reason being is i want it to look something different and id rather just get the gt-four bonnet if im going for that look, in which case im not. although i'll try and add some unqiue vents that may actually look better keep you updated bro -R

ok their custom and amazing, how much you think they would run??, i know it depends but a ballpark figure

really depends on production costs and whether or not you want to modify the existing oem bonnet or one from c/f or fibre glass. the fibre glass option would be my ideal as it is easier to modify and lightweight. im guessing the $800 mark since it will be 100% custom made for the celica. -R

Hey I've got a real pic of a Celica with one of these but I dont know how to put the pic on here.

man put it up asap! lol this is how you post the pics. [ img ] url [/ img ], obviously no spaced between the brackets and url. -R

this is one of those things that would either look amazing in real life, or really bad. there wouldnt be any in between.lol it looks great on the rx7 tho.

i must agree with you 100% its hard to imagine it in photos unless you have every angle of it lol and have a prototype model but from the photo it does look pretty amazing i must say lol -R *dreams*

I still dont understand how to put it on here, I have it saved on my computer, it's not on a website. I emailed it to Player, but he hasn't put it up yet.
