Carbon Fibre Bonnet For Gen7

[yourlovewas]

Ok, I asked a few at Brunters, my girlfriend, my workmate what they'd think of a carbon fibre bonnet on my Gen7 thunder grey Celica... They said it would look bad :(

I happen to think it looks rather nice, especially with those bonnet wings. What does anyone else think, will I buy one and look like a tit or is it ok after all?

Personally i think it'll look good ! Carbon fibre looks the dogs danglies on most cars ( depending on colour ) but yours will look good if you have some decent alloys etc etc

I think it'd look good

[yourlovewas]

Or this one...

Or one that is stock-a-like but CF...

Hmm

[daktari]

Either would look good with the thunder grey and some anthracite or black wheels... IMHO. ;)

i think it would look really nice on that car.... its the colour and also the size of the bonnet that makes it look nice. Tempting :)

[Lou-Lou]

If you like it, do it.. screw everyone else!!

Second one is ok I think the first one is a bit ott

[yourlovewas]

Ah but OTT is ok! I want people to see my Gen7! I was the only Gen7 at brunters, how ridiculas .

Also, next week I am getting this wonderful mod:

That does look nice right, especially when I get CF hood and CF eyebrows and black wheels and TTE springs... .

Love the bonnet vents on the gens 7 get it!! :D

Get a decent photo of your car up and ask someone in General if they`ll be kind enough to photoshop each one onto your car. Someone will oblige i`m sure. It`ll give you a much better idea with regard to colour etc.

If you're intending on getting one get an OEM style CF hood. And beware, different CF bits from different manufacturers can have varying styles of weave so if you get the CF ligt covers and bonnet from different companies, be warned they may look cack afterwards

hey

alastair(SP), its jamie who you spoke to at brunters, good to see you online. if u want a ballsy looking celica go for the 1st one at the top of this post, dont get the petrol cover, looks tack.

did the exhaust go on ok?

[Bibbs]

Not a fan of CF *really* .. I think you can get away with it on a black car, as it looks black.

If I had another colour car, I'd get it sprayed .. CF bonnets on stock non black/dark cars to me look a bit "saxo with painted bonnet". If you get one, get a GT300 kit for it, and then with the arches, spoiler and cannards it will be passable.

As for the fuel filler cap? Why?

All IMHO ..

As the other 2 you posted both look crap. Sorry.

[yourlovewas]

I think you're all right about the fuel cap thinking about it, though it is especially made for Celica as it's TRD. Oh and thank you all for the responces, never thought I'd get so many!

Jamie, yep I got the exhaust fitted and it's amazing, I love it :D.
