Default xA JDM Hood w/ scoop, just not available yet & pricey ($

Alright, so I surf at work, big deal... *chuckle* anyway, so when Matt (SciFixB) sent me some IST club links I explored, and discovered this.. just some to wet y'alls appetite.




and some rear pieces as well, but they don't seem to do anything for me


The company is C-One http://www.c-one.co.jp/C-ONEPARTS/ist.html and they produce a ton of Toyota body kits for a variety of models. Apparently they are present here stateside, producing or selling Celica kits mostly. I'm in the process of finding some distributors of said Celica parts and see if they can bring over the IST stuff.. enjoy!

I went to the c-one japan site and the hood sells for 78,000 yen on there, which converts to $705.31 US dollars for the hood. I converted it using an online currency converter btw. $705.31 is a lot. I think since the cf hood has a scoop, it would look good only if the ist/xA has turbo. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, I had seen the exorbitant price yesterday too, but I just throught it to be something nice to check out in concept since I know so many people have asked for ghoods with a scoop, it becomes a matter of what to do with the scoop...

I thought maybe feeding it into a tunnel ram air intake, but I've been seeing that at the very least if it can work w/o the accompanying worry of water it would be immensely difficult to tune properly as the quantity of air would be always changing and most computers/ECUs may be overwhelmed.

The second thought was to shovel the cooler air over a short ram air and see what can be done to simply saturate it rather than force air through it, still the water issue to contend with...
