cali yaris · 11-20-2009, 10:50 PM

^ yes. Not enough buyers to warrant design and production. I do have a very cool new vented hood coming for the sedans though.

That's pretty close.

az_saguaro · 01-06-2010, 01:38 PM

Bump...

What ever happened with this hood? Are they still in production?

jaytown · 01-06-2010, 01:56 PM

Niice, I like. How much is for carbon?

cali yaris · 01-06-2010, 02:01 PM

yes, this is in production. dont have a cost for cf yet

Mead · 01-06-2010, 03:27 PM

is it gonna be a funtional vent? putting a hole in the hood is not as easy as it sounds, things get wet = steam coming out = visibility issues, electrical shorts... anyone aware of where our plug wires and battery is located???

cali yaris · 01-06-2010, 04:58 PM

Yes, the vent will be functional, and placed as shown. I'm well aware of where the wires and battery are located on the Yaris.

I've never heard a Celica owner (which has a very similar vented hood configuration) complain about steam coming out, much less steam causing visibility issues.

I have a Seibon hood with a very large vent, and there are no issues with rain and steam, or electrical problems of any kind.

Motors get steam cleaned, right?

slothman86 · 01-06-2010, 05:11 PM

This is really exciting! Is there a production timeline?

macks_yaris · 01-07-2010, 08:46 AM

Thanks,

hmmmm, I'm kinda convinced... but I'll need a free production sample to test fitment and durability, CF perferred

advocate · 01-08-2010, 12:09 AM

If I ever saw this hood on my car in CF i'd probably need a new pair of underwear afterwards.

Mistry · 01-08-2010, 11:06 PM

^ LOL!

frownonfun · 01-10-2010, 10:16 PM
