UPS delivered this today.

And contrary to the ignorant criticisms of certain people (you know who you are) this DOES NOT ATTACH WITH VELCRO. It bolts on with the provided hardware.

I know what I'll be doing this weekend grin

Looks o.k. but it is wet lamiante piece Not all carbon half fiberglass and carbon layed on top

but looks good :-)

Since TRD Came out with the Half Piece that caps over the plastic piece

with there 1x1 crooked weave wet-laminate piece

I have got a lot of PM's for a sale on the GT cover since people want that than the TRD

We have decided to sell Just the GT cover at over half off

180.00 Shipped

http://store.yahoo.com/iptmotorsports/01-02-01-01.html

You can also get the 4 piece Kit for gt for 345.00 shipped
(GT cover,ECU,Fuse box, Small relay)

http://store.yahoo.com/iptmotorsports/toyota.html

(Scroll to the bottom)

Why not spend 70.00 more for a real thing and not one that caps over and velcros to the original plastic

Remember IPT carbon parts are the real thing

Vacum packed and autoclaved

TrueMold carbon fiber

TRD goes ontop of stock pieces or its a full replacement?

check the location of the oil-cap & bolts - it's leaving much of the engine still exposed if the TRD piece is a full replacement... the part of the engine that doesn't look pretty spineyes

I'd like to see Evan's install pictures before making any purchasing decisions thumbsup

Found one picture you can either mount it with the original cover off or on top 2 ways

but a lot people complain because it shows all the wires as you can see in the pic below

Looks like I'll probably leave the oem cover on and just put the trd one over the top; I'll post pics after tomorrow when I install it.

And IPT, you do make a quality product; I'm not knocking you.

But, you really lost a lot of credibility by making blatantly false statements about TRD's product and then whoring this thread with your advertisement. thumbsdown

That makes sense, you're probably right.

Anyway, it'll look good if you leave the stock cover on (I'm hoping) grin

WERD! thumbsup Big Props to Evan for put the real deal on the TRD on the boards. Want to see that installed with the stock cover, may have to buy that after all.

IMO, IPT needs to drop its prices even more. They make a awesome product but the cost. You can buy almost 2 Carbon Fiber hoods for the cost of there full engine kit.

Evan i didn't whore your post either

I do like the TRD cover it is just a Wet-lamiante piece

not what they claim full carbon fiber

that is why it is cheap

you can tell a wet laminate piece by the way the weave is crooked

that is becasue they lay it over fiberglass and it is not bagged or autoclaved

But i do like your piece thumbsup

people wanted see a picture so i found one

and as for the velcro a TRD rep told me it was FRank

I used to be sponsored by TRD in 2000 so i called him to ask that is what he told me

his fault not mine

You've told us all that information in this thread once already so why are you repeating it again? Do you think we've forgotten in such a short period of time? wtf

And yes, you are still partially responsible for passing along bogus information. If you weren't sure, you should've kept your mouth shut until you could verify what you were saying.

Spreading rumors (otherwise known as gossip) does not absolve you from any responsibility as to the validity of the content. You said it - where you got it from is really irrelevant. Now please stop advertising. If you wanna talk about your products, start your own thread, even though you shouldn't need to since you already have a sticky in the For Sale forum, here:

I think it's great that IPT and Parker are really on the ball. They have given ecelica good prices and reacted to another choice to offer some competition. Both look good but I find the TRD one a bit small. Nice to have great support from a company with great looking products.
