Has anyone seen this CF hood for sale (made by Shinko Chemical)? - Toyota Yaris Forums

CTScott · 07-10-2009, 01:13 PM

I ran into pics of this hood. The manufacturer's website is entirely Japanese, so I am not sure who might distribute their products. They offer a huge array of eyelid styles in addition to a couple of carbon fiber hoods. This is the hood I'd like to find:

Here's the manufacturer's website:

Yeah, I like the eyelids also.

A hood scoop on a Yaris?, That's one I have to think about.

I may be a bit biased, but I'm really not feeling those eyelids in the least...
To each his own, I guess

Nice find regardless... Always helpful to see what the competition is cooking up.

I like our hood scoop design better. Just haven't gotten to producing it yet...

I don't mind seeing if they would ship a batch over here -- Group Buy, anyone? Is there that much interest in this hood?

should I mention that $65000 yen = $700?

SAKU · 07-10-2009, 04:11 PM

it seems like the hood was made for the vitz turbo M, would work nicely with the top mount intercooler

I definitely like the hood design contest one better. I was surprised to see that there is scoop one available somewhere.

I have this hood for sale also, might lend itself to FI applications, and a good deal at $250 plus shipping.

That hood definitely has potential. Have you tested it for fit?

kuyachris84 · 07-14-2009, 12:57 PM

Man... i want those eyelids now... *drools*

CTScott, the AIT hood is A++ quality, beautiful finish, great fitment, and nicely done underneath as well.

Any pics of it on a car Garm, or do we have to wait for 2bad4u to receive and mount it?

cali yaris · 07-14-2009, 02:18 PM

guess we have to wait, I have no pics of it installed.

JosephDoc · 07-14-2009, 04:14 PM

Wow, that looks so slick!!

I would like to order one if it is a real JDM product (not like the Seibon/knock-offs from China).
