View Full Version : GI: New 'Celica-style' CF hood from JSP America

Hi everyone,

I just got off the phone with the product develpoment department at JSP America (www.jspamerica.com) and was speaking to them in regards to them developing a hood for the xB. After talking about a few different styles, we decided that if there was enough interest, they would develop an OEM style hood.

But, we also decided that there is already enough OE style hoods and we need to come up with something different.

That got me thinking of lowbox's and NJthunder5spd's 'Celica Hood' (thread located here--> http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41803&start=0 )

Sorry to the guys for stealing their pics:
http://home.comcast.net/~hondahatch98/celicahood/primeredtestfit1.jpg

Two more pics of Lowbox's:

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4ce36b3127ccea884508c32ec0000002610

I proposed the idea to JSP about doing a cf version of that hood and they are down for it!!!

Pricing is not firm yet, but would be offered for the original GBer's for about $420USD or so. For an additional cost, you could also get the hood in coloured carbon/kevlar weaves!!!

Please copy and paste this list and add your name to it if you are interested. Adding your name does not 100% commit you to buying a hood, but, please dont just sign your name for the heck of it (hopefully, you have SOME interest in purchasing the hood)

If any more info is needed, please contac me directly at kris@underground-highway.com

Oh yeah, they need 'about' ten people interested to produce a hood. Itll take about a week to start producing hoods (so, this means you wont be waiting untill next Auguts for a hood)...

It does not include s/h, but, a deal could prolly be done for people in the same state. IE, all Cali hoods shipped together, etc.
In the price "may" be ballparked a bit high im told, but, better to say a price is higher and have it be lower than the other way around!

I think cf is getting played out personally. You have a lot more options with fiberglass.

I second that! Any thoughts on fiberglass as well?

I actually chopped a Celica hood to start mine in metal, but if fiberglass was offered, I would jump on that instead.

Sorry guys. This is just for a CARBON FIBER hood.
If you dont like the regular CF, you can always:
a)paint it to match your truck.
b) candy it
c) get a coloured weave

i'm not familiar with the production differences between CF and FG, but it seems to me that more FG ones would sell than CF.. atleast by looking at this thread..

is it just not worth making two types? i'm on the fence if it's only going to be CF but will commit if a FG one will be made. I just can't get my head around the fact that I would be spending money on CF and not need any benefits associated with CF (ie, weight reduction and looks - since i would paint it ) Plus I would have to contend with higher shipping costs because I'm in hawaii so that cuts into my budget as well..

sorry, not trying to be a problem customer.. just expressing my concerns..

These hoods, like every other cf hood on the market, are FG frames with a top-layer of CF for looks.
A real all 100% CF hoods runs in around $1000+USD.
The main reason for getting the interest for the hood is to cover the cost of the mold. It is the mold itself that costs so much money (hence the need for guarantee buyers).
I will try and find out, but, im sure that since the process is the same, once the mold is made, an FG hood could be created out of the mold.

For now, lets keep the commital list to CF untill I talk to JSP tommorow. Perhaps they will do a special production for those interested in FG only...

ah! i see.. cool, learned something new today! thanks K Dawg, I'll check this thread for more info tomorrow..

:idea: oi! that means that all those CF hoods i've seen aren't fully CF? bah! minus pimp points! plus if it's only the top layer, you're not really getting the weight reduction of CF? although fiberglas can't be that much heavier can it?

sorry.. rambling..

K_Dawg_ONE
03-18-2005, 01:05 AM
^^actually, the 'cf' hoods that you buy are significantly lighter than OEM. FG is very very light. Ironically, a full CF hood is often heavier than an FG hood or a 'cf top layer on top of FG' hood like we will be producing (or you can buy from ViS, etc).
However, a full CF is significantly stronger than both OEM and FG (strong enough that if you were hit from the front, the hood would fly through your window in one piece...lol)

I'd be VERY interested if these were fiberglass. I could do without the pricey top layer of carbon fiber. Please let us know. Not everyone, in fact many of us, don't want carbon fiber. Maybe do a "poll" thread on the subject?

Just got off the phone with JSP...
-They are 100% gonna do the hood ASAP!!!
-normally, they do GB's of about ten cf hoods. This is to cover the cost of the moulding process. If an FRP only hood was to be made, they made need more than 10 buyers (10 FG hoods wont cover the cost of molds).
-they said that it may be possible to do the hood based on 10 buyers (mixed with CF and FRP buyers), but, would have to get back to me.
-Noramlly, they will offer an FRP version of a cf hood, but, only after the original batch of CF hoods are made.

Once they email me back more info, I will post up!

Amazingly enough - there's been no mention of JSP giving any kind of proper credit and or compensation for using his design. It's one thing when a few people replicate something for there own use, but something entirely else when a large company hijacks the design for profit (and you know when it goes into mass production - it's going to be presented as a "JSP ORIGINAL DESIGN!")

Hey, business is business - but if I was Lowbox, I'd probably be a little irritated at least.

Everyone got their panties all wadded up when a company 'stole' the rights to a stainless brake line kit from a member.

I like the hood. I'd better... since I made one a few days after Lowbox showed his design - but at least I told Lowbox I was gonna jack his design - but that too was a not-for-sale one-off job.

Hey... more power to JSP I suppose. But they could at the least pay some sort of small homage to Lowbox for desiging their up and coming 'hottest new product'.

Please read the thread a little more closely. JSP didnt steal the design. I brought it to them. In the other threads, there was alot of people wanting that hood in CF. Since I have contacts at JSP, I contacted them.
I also gave credit in the opening couple of posts to the innovators of this particular hood...

unless i see a patent on that design, there's no need to compensate anyone, "borrowing" design ideas is a staple of the inport tuner community, get used to it.

even still with a patent, the rightful owner can get the short end!

you think fabulous or kenstyle see any compensation from all the knock-off kits being sold here in the states?

thought so...

I know JSP didn't start it - In the last 30+ years... reading is one of the things I learned how to do.

And if you would read MY post a little closer and apply a little more comprehension to it, no one would 'question' (per se) my post.

I quite clearly said "business is business" - this is how things work. If someone doesn't like it, they're welcome to start a company, make the same product - and sell it for even less and kill the 1st company's sales.

None of that changes the irony in the situation that I was pointing out.

Yeah ... Lowbox KINDA got credit - but the writing's on the wall. It's HIS design (although 2 others of us have copied it in metal) - I'd just hate to see all his 'thunder' be taken away.

IMO, he came up with the best looking modification to date - and a reminder of who first designed it doesn't hurt anyone.

I think it's OK that JSP agreed to make the hoods - it's a limited run for some members here that really wanted it but either have no fabrication skills or just simply no time to make it. But when they make their first run for the people here - you can be gauranteed they'll make another run of a 100 and you'll see it in every JSP ad in SCC, HCI, etc....

i see both points of view. i would hate to bust out something pimp, and then not be the only one to rock it because somebody mass produced it. they should call it the lowbox hood or something to at least pay homage to him, but at the same time shouldn't the toyota design team get some credit too? they designed the hood.....
everyone should just be thankful that he was not selfish and showed off his custom mod. i'm sure he was aware that there would be biters but, didn't care. you think if only scion xb owners saw it in his hometown while he was driving around that it would have blown up like this? no way. i know a lot of guys that keep things on the dl so they can be original, and i don't see anything wrong with that.

When the hood goes into production, ill if see if JSP will call it 'Lowbox Style' or sumthing like that. Its no skin off their balls (it doesnt promote another company, like calling it 'ViS Style' or something) and pyas homeage to the originator.
I cant guarantee though as JSP is a large company, but, i will try.

that would be dope. if it was my idea that would be enough for me, because i don't have the funds to start my own company. i would be happy not gettin any $$$, but instead gettin my props from a major company. but thats just from my whole love of the scene. a lot of shops do custom work on customers cars and turn around and sell the parts without even acknowlegding the owner. then the owner looks like he just bought the crap from them in the first place and his"custom work"turns into a halfass premade, non-original.

As far as I know, the wheel is in motion. Im not sure what that entails on the manufacturing end. For all I know, the design team must submit a proposal for approval, etc....i will post up as soon as i know anything.

Bump means you are "bumping" the topic back to the top of the screen. Usually you bump a post when it gets lost on the 2nd and 3rd page.

I'll have to say my interest has increased, provided the price is right. Besides seeing a lot of GT-S's on the roadand liking the look, after driving in the rain and after a carwash, I've noticed there's a spot just about where the scoop will be that doesn't get a lot of wind. Water will bead up in between the wiper nozzles. I think this will be a great spot for the scoop because it won't get too much wind and won't cause much drag, IMO...

"ttt" if you ever see it means "to the top" which is the same thing as "bump". Just so you know. I just recently found that out.

ah! yeah, i was looking at that one too, but then i saw the celica style one and fell in love with it. as nice as the audioformz one is, i just can't get the celica one out of my mind..

err, not that I'm desperate to buy.. uh yeah, i uh. didn't really want it anyway?

I'd be down for one, but I was on the rx7 site and some guy posted about some stuff with Tommy. Seems that the rx7 guys and the mr2oc guys are having trouble with tommy ripping them off. I'm not gonna purchase nothing till stuff gets resolved. I would say you guys shouldn't either. Just looking out for my scion bros.
