Since im just starting off modding my car i dont think its ready for a new hood yet but I am interested in the cf replacements for the wood trim. I know your asking for a picture of the wood trim pieces and i would post pictures if i had a digital camera. There are four pieces. They shouldnt be hard to make at all.

So can someone with a digital camera please post a picture of the wood trim pieces so he can see it.

I'm curious as to how having a CF hood effects the way the car's front end deforms in a crash?

This hoods looks pretty cool. . . I would like a hood that will allow the radiator fan to blow hot air through that vent

Again, this is something I'm just curious about: When you change over to CF hood, do you just store the OEM hood until you go to sell it?

just like any carbon hood they shatter, crack, and splinter, not crumple like a stock hood would.

.....interested in stock OEM C/F hood & trunk.....but would be determined by the price as in any groupbuy.

.....or a C/F spoiler like the Black Widow for the Solara if a C/F trunk isn't possible

It would be cool if you could do the 1MZFE engine cover. But not the exact same as the OEM one. Maybe it could cover the front bank spark plugs.

Alright, to get things done we would need at least 6 dedicated people to get started on stuff. How it works is you put a deposit down and when they are finished you pay the rest. I don't have prices on stuff yet but when I do, I will email the moderators of the forum to make sure I can even do the group buy.

i think you should provide us a contact number, company location, pictures of company or some sort of proof to insure that you guys are legit. That was always the first thing that crosses our members minds when there is a new seller, I think we just hadn't brought that up due to the carbon fiber craze.
