Celica Forums General Discussion General Carbon Fiber vs Painted

I installed the TRD Carbon Fiber Engine Cover, But not liking it. I am now thinking about going back to my painted version or buy the OEM cover in Carbon Fiber. Please give me some input.

I'd take it but I think I like the VVT-i covers the best

Sorry I can't find the pics of the painted, but will post 2mro

paint the TRD one lol~

Dont much care for the TRD cover... I'd rather have the IPT ones.

I think I will go with the OEM Carbon Fiber engine cover. Even @ $500.00 I think it will be more impressive.

ugh the TRD cover is ugly ... nice little injen oil cap tho!

Go back to the OEM

you should back to the painted one so I can get your TRD cover

Go back to your Stock OEM it look way batter then the one you have on right now.

I say go for the IPT cover...its like the whole OEM cover, but Carbon Fiber, and way under $500

yea not a fan of the TRD one...looks cheap as hell..


I like my IPT pieces

If you don't like it, but you want carbon fiber, you can try IPT, but I'd read their feedback on the celica boards before you do because they've had some HORRENDOUS customer service as of late.

I think the stock looks better

Yes thats true. I have the TRD cover, and I like it. The IPT pieces are great,but that is too much money I think, atleast while there are other Performance mods that I need to do. I think the factory plastic cheepo thing it came with looks gay. I never saw a motor with a jimmy hat on it before this car!!
