ya that is a bit much. It shoudl be like $600 at the most

wow that's a bit much.

i would not pay for it

for this fucking hood omg what is it made out of gold and shit or what! They can keep there supercharged hood! sheesh!

they figure they can get away with it, becuase if someone wants that S/C, they need that hood, its like a monopoly, they know they want that hood and there the only ones who have it!!

That is a rip off, look nice though kind of husky but the price

im sure the price will come down with a little time.

lol her it cost 2571 us dollar for a crappy carbon fiber hood

someone go make a replica

i liked it from the front pic but on the pic you see from up and down at the car its looked a little wiered

way to f-ing much money...

i would cut my stock hood and mold Carbon Fiber over that shit i dont car how shitty it would look.

yeah, I saw that a few days ago... some people were waiting on this hood before tehy bought the S/C but have changed their plans due to its price

- it will come down but I'm sure there are some that would pay to play

when is the replica comming out tater get to work

..and if that hood has the same fitment as their bodykits, it won't fit at all.

I think it will look a lot better if the hoodscoop was the bigger scoop, raether then the small one!!

fatty! You ugly!

Hella expensive! I don't need a supercharger that badly.

is this a joke not cool

it's a nice hood, i like it, but i personally don't like the price, but it's nice tho

If you're crazy enough to spend $3000 on a TRD SC then they figure you're crazy enough to spend the money on the hood. Too bad they didn't make just the scoop part, so you could cut your own hood & put that piece on.

the hood must be gold plated underneath...

its a nice hood..but @ that price they are screaming...come make a replica of our idea and keep the profit..because we sure as hell dont wanna make any money

I don't know if you guys missed it, but the hoods only 499$ click the link. It says Your Price: 1200 with a dash thru it and then 499$, thats not a bad price!

YEAH, I just clicked it $499 isn't too bad, but you still have to pay $3,000 for an underpowered supercharger

i rather just cut a fucking hole in my stock hood if i had the sc

where are you guys getting $1200? I see it listed at $499

Maybe it's diamond studded or something??

it doesnt look that bad

rip off

is the trd s/c for the gt or gts or both?

me too... i guess me and you are the only literate people here...

ya im seein $499... thats not bad at all, i think its nice

wow thats insane

i could have sworn i saw the $1200 listed a couple days ago when this was first posted... maybe im just seeing things or they editted the price!

damn - they changed the price... I knew it couldn't stay up there for long...

- for those that didn't know - the price was listed as $1200 initially but they have recently slashed it to $499 -

thats a pretty good deal for that hood.

it did show 1200 at first, when the post was first posted, as i saw it when it was, it did say 1200!!!!!

And IMO, the hood would look a lot better with a bigger hood scoop!!

They can price their shit at 1 USD for all I care. After having experienced the truly SHIT quality and horrible fitment of their bodykits, I'll never ever in my whole life buy anything from them again.

hahaha...they probably saw this thread and updated their website...

now its at 799. I plan on buying this hood because i like it and plan on getting the supercharger but its still way too high a price for me to consider right now. They are not gonna be able to sell very many at all with the supercharger now costing about $4100 to own because 2600 supercharger+925(shipped)hood+600 install. And thats assuming trd comes out with the supercharger specifically for the celica. Otherwise its gonna cost about at least two hundred more than that because you gotta get some sort of fuel management like emanage and buy all the software and get it turned (if that would even correct the problem). Honestly though if you cant get a great deal on the supercharger this is not the way to go unless your looking for a hood anyways and really want the reliability of this supercharger. When you can buy a oem or invader carbon fiber hood for 425, pretty much noone is gonna want this hood. They really need to lower that price. As to the fitment and reliability of the hood: I wouldnt think TRD would put their name next to something that wasnt very good quality but i understand why your saying that because of bad body kit fitment. From my experience with them I do have to say they have really good customer service though.
