it is only for looks...
i actually got a rock chip just below the pass. wiper arm. after i put this on....

also i cannot lift my wiper arms up into the hold open position.

and yes the washer nozzles still hit the windshield.

if you want protection, get the bug shield for the front of the hood.

 

hey scion sport has one for 250.00 but requires paint and install , from what i hear their body stuff isnt excatly perfect fit/finish.

 

^^^ you are correct on this peice.

the fit was horrable (IMO). it needed a lot of work just to fit right.

 

$500!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

WTF is on these peoples minds when they price some of this stuff out. I mean $300+ window visors, $500 hood spoiler, and wings for the hatch that are over $300 just because they are JDM or VIP is rediculous.

 

they should be taken and prostrated before Toyota and flogged

 

So glad I read this.. I was just about to buy that kit from scion sport.

Thanks for the warning

 

I shouldn't let the cat out of the bag yet but I am currently in the works of a new hood spoiler. I too just thought the price was too high so I decided to come out with one at a lower cost and better fit.

 

Hey keep me informed!

 

same design or new design???

 

definatekt intrested especially if theres a carbon fiber version

 

Well, at first I had plans to make a one-off but being I have to make a mold anyway, I chose to make one that all of us can use. Just this past weekend I got a hood to use as a mold to sculpt my Original. I plan to make it a better fit as I have heard many stories of the Fab one not fitting. At the price it's being sold, I feel it should at least fit better then what I have been hearing. Design may differ but will be similar in design as to installing.

 

cool....lets see it when you get one done.

 

bump

 

Yeah, I think if you can do it right, you will have a pretty good amount of costumers...

including me.
