what kind of hood does he have?

[Innovative 1]

Wondering what kind of hood echo_hrs is sporting.

[IllusionX]

It was a carbon fiber hood painted to march.

Kaminari reverse cowl carbon fiber. http://www.kaminari.com/toyota-yaris-hood-carbon-2006

Here is his actual hood.

Just ordered one this morning along with vis front bumper last week. Had a deer t-bone my passenger side door and rear quarter panel. Gonna repaint the whole car and doing front bumper and hood ta boot. Going with the same paint scheme as echo_hrs'. Trying not to copy him but that set up is sweet.
Didn't spring for carbon fiber. Went with fiberglass instead.
Thanks for insight. Cant wait to get that thing painted and installed.

After you get it installed, you will now become and even more larger magnet to Racoons, Deer and other obstacles that are unavoidable

If I didnt have trd springs and shocks would have had that thing riding shotgun in the passeger seat with me.

He doesn't have the car anymore. So it doesn't matter really.

The fitment on that Kaminari hood was one of the best I've seen for aftermarket carbon fiber. Hope the fiberglass fits just as well.

Since you are trying to replicate the look, I take it you went for the JDM RS Style replica from vis. Let us know how that works out. Bumper fitment across all aftermarket brands has always been hit and miss.

Im about to find out.

[WeeYari]

You painting out the mid section of the bumper to get the look of the bumper garnish echo_hrs had installed there?

[Innovative 1]

What do you mean by bumper garnish? Want that look with cowl black and rest boyou blue which is my main color. Gonna have them spray the bumper the same as his too. Where he painted the section in between lower and upper grill black. Dont care if im being unoriginal. It looks sic!

[WeeYari]

The bumper garnish is an actual piece that goes in the mid section. This is not paint. Prior to this vehicle, he had an '06 Copper Orange Mica with the Kaminari hood on it, and the JDM Vitz RS bumper. On that car, he used vinyl wrap to black out the mid section. With the '10 Blizzard Pearl, he went true JDM with the garnish.

So where can I get the garnish? The hood cowl is painted though? Or is the black portion on the cowl garnish to?

The black portion of his hood is the carbon fiber left in its natural state. You will have to paint it out given you went with fiberglass.

Wow! That middle black section of front bumper garnish cost more than the front bumper itself.

[Innovative 1]

Yeah WeeYari. I ordered the jdm rs style replica bumper from vis. I hope it will come to me up here in Montana in one unmolested uncracked or scared piece. Carriers up here can be a little ruff on merch in transit.

If this bumper is a true replica in every way, you will need to replace the front end crash bar. New bumper will not clear OEM crash bar.
