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.

im not sure what kind of panel beaters you guys got out there, im from australia. that $800 was a ball park price, and using the original garage, which is RE Amemiya, would cost you 10x more than the replica prices. This company is renowned for the RX7 bodykits used in JGTC -R
