hey guys, i contacted VIS about making a custom carbon fiber hood for the 94-99, it would be styled after the TRD Supra hood, with the four vents in it... so imagine a OEM style hood for our 6th gen with these vents in it.
this GB is, once again, personally motivated, i need a vented hood for my turbo kit, but i think this would look amazing on any 6th gen.
i've enquired about it, and we need 15 people, i've also asked about pricing, waiting to hear back from them.
if you are interested, please post, any questions, let me know, contact info is in my sig.
coomer, if this is in the worng forum, just kick it to where it should be.
I SHOULD clarify, this will not be through importfan, this will be directo from VIS, i just used a pic from importfan.

I'd love to have a vented carbon fiber hood with that design, assuming the price isn't too bad.
I'm very, very interested.

Don't care what the price is I want it. I changed my mind recently and decided to keep my Celica...for financial reasons mostly. A VIN code that comes up as turbo isnt friendly on insurance premiums nor car payemnts...but a 3sgte swap and upgrading celi is. I want it.

It wouldnt be a TRD hood, it would be styled after a TRD Supra hood, and it would be made by VIS.

a lot of those are depedent on the price...i'm getting one, but i won't have the money til mid september...so i'm hopin that it will still be udner construction by then.
personally, it'd be nice to wait that long, and either get a gauranteed 2nd wave of production (2x15 *charlie's idea*) or, take orders, and let the people depedent on the price save up for about a month.
but then again, that's just so i'm pretty much guaranteed to get this hood...

that hood looks sweet. I'm in!! Well depending on the price of course. I'm guessing if most of you guys are like me, you're willing to pay around $100 more than a regular CF hood.

I'm calling VIS tomorrow if I don't hear from them. Sit tight guys, we'll have the info soon.
Thanks for the great response!
Shout out to John (Mynzeyes) whose many crazed ramblings about a "phatty bad-ass 6th gen TRD vented hood" were the inspiration for this project attempt.
now you won't have to take a hacksaw to your stocker, John
