r u sure? cuz i remember seing the guy with the red turbo solara from hawaii and he had a trd hood. was it just custom fitted to fit the solara? or was it just cut in certain spots so that it would look trd? [img]http://www.pbase.com/turbotoy/turbo_solara

Yep...and guess what happened to his hood...it flew off and cracked his windshield and the top of his roof on the freeway

Going on what PureNocence said...if I just had that done to my stock hood, I shouldnt have any problems as such, right? What about water problems?

well you should ask the shop to have a cover plate to be made to accomodate rain.

thats how subarus do it. well the RS 2.5 that is.

he should say "TRD STYLE" hood to avoid the confusion. Love that hood though. Especialy since it is RED!

by **s15lara** » Thu Aug 12, 2004 5:38 pm

you guys think that it can be done to the cf hood? can it be cut to look trd? or do you just have to go with the original hood? and if i do it to the original hood do you guys think that it would be hard to cut it? who would be able to do it? could i do it myself? i love the trd hood and i really want it. any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

If anything...since i see your in Chicago..check out bodywerks...yea larry's a jerk sometimes..but im sure he'll help you out. You'll probably end up using my oem hood.

it is strongly NOT recommended to tinker with CF hoods.

i tried asking everybody.

you're better off modding the stock hood.

im still thinking about doing something to mine.
