new style carbon fiber hood
could someone give me some idea's in a new style hood for the TC let me know what kind of hood you would like.

A hood with an offset, functional intake scoop would be sweet. Include internal parts that would direct air to the intake.

cf hood
please dont ask for a evo style or invador hood.
|
if i had a tc... i'd want something with a scoop too. sorry im not much help. i have zero creativity :yawn:
|
I'd say a hood scoop (functional) right over the intake box...
I think that'd look different good... |
^^^ thta s what im thinking.
|
This may sound dumb but hey I will give it a shot.....
What if you created some type of hood that had a functional scoop.....but include a filter of sorts so the engine bay wont get so dirty...... And I mean a scoop that just cools the engine bay itself..... eh just an idea.... |
how about no scoop, and you have vents instead
|
A Cowl hood would look good too IMO
|
yea, Try this

the scoops or vents would be cool, but i would say make sure they look smooth/flush with the hood. Not like on that pic of the saab where it looks like it was stuck on the normal hood.

How is pulling hot air from the engine compartment or from the fender well optimal for intake performance? I would think that pulling clean cool air from the front end or hood would offer much better performance. |

Look again, there is a buldge there to compensate for the Intercooler. |
maybe something with the skyline style scoop over the intake, that would be nice
|
the subaru one would look very good.

I agree that the Saab's scoop looks "tacked on" (even with the bulge). The best scoops or vents will look as if they "grew" in place. When there is an obvious cut or join line, the scoop looks like an afterthought. I personally like the reverse-cowl style of intake. Or, if it's going to be a bulding scoop, how about taking a hint from the '70s and incorporate some kind of gauge on the backside? Air temperature, oil pressure, etc. That'd be trick. I don't know if I'd put it on my own tC, but it's something different. |
The join line is very common...

I vote for the Xtreme GT hood for the celica. That is one of the sexiest hoods ive seen.

As long as you offer the new hood for less than $800.00, I'll be interested.
I think the Subaru hood is the best out of all of them, although the Mini style might look allright too. Something different. I wouldn't mind a second reverse-cowl style, but I would make the opening a little more 'blended in' with the hood. As mentioned earlier in the thread, it ought to blend with the rest of the hood, and match the rest of the body style. i.e., not look like a bolt-on scoup. |
