Custom Hoods CF or Not - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Is anybody interested in getting a hood like this? Now I'm not trying to step on SoundLzrd/CT toes, it's just that we got such a big response from our Japanese market that we are thinking about trying them here too!

A non-carbon fiber hood was more in favor over there, but whatever you guys want carbon fiber or non-carbon fiber version we will make.

Well I am trying to get both Gen 3 and 4. But which ever gets the most interested first goes first.

Do you have pics of the Invader hood?

There are a few different looking 'Invader' style hoods, but here are a few of them. How serious are you about making these and when, if at all, are you expecting to produce these?

1) very serious

2) when I get enough interest and people who are commited to it.

Put it to you this way, if I can get enough people from one Gen to commit in getting it then it will be produced. Due to the time and effort into making a hood, let alone a C/F hood, it would be a waste of time and effort to just one or two.

Does anybody have a top view of the invader hood?

So are you guys more incline to get a C/F Invader hood?

3 Gen or 4 Gen?

i have a gen 4.. i always thought a cf hoof w/ the 4 runner hood scoop would be tight... but the vader style looks hot too.. it'd be even better if it was functional like on the new EVO VIII's.

I am in for the invader style hood, either in cf or fiberglass for the gen3 camry.

Irvine, CA

invader for the gen3 and im in as long as the cost is about 500,550 may be more if thay stand by there product

Is there any difference, even the slightest between 3 Gen and 3.5 Gen that cause an owner of one to slightly modify their hood or Cam so that it can fit correctly? Since the grilles and headlights are slightly different between the two.

BTW: Is the 3 Gen Invader hood good? C/F or Not?

Is this a good example of one? Or should I stick with the other pics you guys provided?

hey t-tuning...just an idea...what gen is ctm doing? isn't it a gen 3? if they are why dont you guys do gen 4 (or vice versa) and then so it'll contribute more instead of competeing against each other with the same gen when other gens want them too? just an idea

true, i have nothing but respect for T-Tuning and CTM, but competition brings out the best in product...

and in the end the CONSUMERS win...
