Unhappy Let's Suppose . . .

My Money Situation Is Experiencing A Shady State . . .

What Is I Wanted To Paint My Hubcaps Black ?
- What Kind Of PAINT Would I Use ?

I Wanted To Change The Trademark Toyota Logo From The Front Grille, Out With A 'J' . . .
- Any Suggestions Has To How I Would Go About Doing That ?

(Bearing In Mind The Shadiness Of My Money Situation) I Need A New Hood, After 2 Months And Two Waxes My BLACK Hood STILL (From Before I Bought The Car) Has Some White Build-Ups And Knicks . . . The Interior Color Scheme Is Silver And Black (Carbon Fiber Could Work) . . .
- Besides Junk Yarding It To Search For A New Hood, Any Suggestions ? And If That Is The Best Suggestion, How Do I Take Mine Off And Install A New One ?

ANY HELP, ON ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED QUESTIONS WOULD BE APPRECIATED . . .


Viva Toyota ! ! !

You'd have to fiberglass yourself an emblem, which would require molding. Too much work than it's worth, in my opinion, then again, I did away with the Toyota emblem in my grille completely.

I would suggest trying to compound out the white marks on your hood, as that will likely solve your problems.

As for removing the hood, pickup a Haynes or Chiltons manual, both will cover this.

...by the way, I don't quite understand why you decided to cap every word's first letter...

BTW -

You Mentioned Removing The Toyota Logo Completely . . .
- How Would I Go About Doing This With Say, Straight Wire Mesh ?

Thanks !

Well your going to get in trouble(with the Admins and Mods) for the caps. so you might want to not do it

For painting the hubcaps, Dupi paint will work great. Just get one of their metalic colors and you will be fine


As for the hood. There is currently a Group Buy going on for C/F Invader Hoods. Otherwise VIS (although low quality) carries OEM style C/F Hoods.
We (Sportivo Concepts) also carry C/F hoods. However I would have to check on the brand.

You'd have to do what I did, hack it out with a saw and refiberglass the open space, sand it all down to shape it and then primer it up.
