So guys, should I bother trying to make this work and get a mold made and sell copies?

The vent is huge so i can make it smaller. I just dont want to waste my trying to mass produce it if no one cares

Hell Yeah! What's the wierd looking thing the left side though? Would you retain the power bulge?

leatherface24 11-30-2009 04:55 PM

Well the vent is from a celica GTS so that little vent is there for lord knows what. Im not going through the trouble of getting rid of it so you could do with it as you please.

And YES ill deffinately keep "the bulge" lol

I like the vents that have more of an extended front leading edge over the vent. Like imagine putting a STi scoop flipped around directly in front of that vent.

I like it aside from the goofy thing on there. If that isn't there on the final hood I'd grab one in a minute.

also, put a boost gauge in the hole...

This. And further forward where it will make a difference.

Ok well since im not doing anything like you guys are suggesting then this'll be a one off deal.

Nah.

NastyNate 11-30-2009 11:03 PM

dammit. still no NB hood love. This really sucks. Leatherface did you throw this idea out anywhere else?

leatherface24 11-30-2009 11:31 PM

nope i didnt but the general consensus i care about that actually use their cars in a way to justify me making more of these resides mostly here. Now Nate, I might be willing to sell you my hood once i get a replacement ;)

NastyNate 11-30-2009 11:54 PM

Very tempting. I really want a nice extractor hood. The NB's need more stuff like that.
