Hello fellow Xa owners.

Long story short, I am thinking of becoming a site sponsor. Knowing their has been a lack of love for the Xa I am partial to developing an Xa hood first. Read this other thread if you haven't seen it: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...343000#2343000

Anywayz, Is there a desire for a vented CF XA hood out there? Let's hear about it and post pics of styles you like...

Have other ideas for Xa CF parts?? Let's hear it..

Also, I plan to offer a Group Buy on Carbon Fiber seats from our company as well..

if you make one, i definately think it'll sell. i know i'd be in depending on price.

cowl vented end of story

Seems to be the majority want a reverse cowl, like the one in the link but deffinately a little less agressive and more flowing with the body lines. Depending on price you can practically throw my name on the order list right now :D

I would buy a CF reverse cowl for the xA. Has to be functional.

Maybe something like the Bbist CF vented hood, or the Kaminari reverse cowl.

Got it! I am checking this out to see what we can do.

Any interest in one of these grilles in CF?:

im pretty interested in this one, but i have no idea how credible this company or site for that matter is.

That one popped up on ebay a while back USFxA. Someone started a thread about it a few days after it showed up too. Mainly people wondering about quality, the company, so on and so forth.

That's not bad looking, but I'd like to see it on a car...

i would definately buy a sports grill in cf.

Kahuna

I hope I'm speaking for the majority of us xA owners...If you build it, we will buy it.

USFxA

It says AA grade, and garunteed fitment...im thinking i might just give it a try here in about a month.

i am looking for functionality mostly. i want to get more air through the radiator, but i don't want to dump a ton of water and crud on internal parts that will hate it.
i am not sure how other cars have reverse cowls set up to guide the water.
it should probably have a grille or at least have some places where the owner could attach a custom grille if they want to stop crud from getting into the engine bay.

hood vents are another option like in the following link:

it has two types of vents..

im sure xA people would buy projectors.

Ok peeps, my "dues" are paid & I am waiting for the mods to upgrade me to sponsor status. I will start a group buy thread on carbon fiber seats immediately.

I also have good news on other CF parts. An Xa hood is very possible and we have a few design choices. I will post pics later and we will see what we can do. Oh yeah, I will probably do the Sport Grille in CF as well!!

Later,

Thanks for everone's input so far! Sorry I haven't paid any attention for a few days. I have a list of ideas and there will be some development on them. It's just going to take some time. Between working a regular job, running a business, and taking care of house stuff & "honey-do's" I'm pretty busy, but good things come to those who wait - as they say. Be sure to check out the group buy going on for seats in the sponsored sale area! We have 4 people already signed up, we just need a few more!!

The c-one reverse cowl hood for the Vitz is nice:



I am also an interested buyer.

I've seen CF hoods, hatch, and fenders for the xA. What I really want to purchase is CF front and rear doors.

Those of us who want to compete against the Yaris/Fit/Minis, at slaloms and track events, there is a big demand for lightweight parts. Those CF parts are already available for those other cars.

i don't like most kits, but that vitz does look good. the hood too.

comedykills

any hood that will bring the engine temps down..... specially in the general area of where a turbo would be .... then watch out.

CF doors would be cool but extremly expensive and the majority of xA owners will not want to spend that kinda money. The companies that have tried to make CF stuff for the xA have found out that not to many people who have xAs are modding em that way.... (Mostly refering to Coi, and his attempt to get a CF Hatch w/ molded Fab spoiler....... which regretably failed)
