Micro Image exclusive hood - Toyota Yaris Forums

cali yaris · 03-04-2010, 01:05 AM

This is from the hood design contest.

Proto pics for you! *** pricing to come soon ***

These are a rough proto -- they make the mold from this and then create clean hoods from the mold.
Not looking for design suggestions in this thread as we are past that point, just sharing -- so love it or hate it, but here it comes!

Is it going to be only for the HB or Sedan too ??

cali yaris · 03-04-2010, 01:10 AM

hatchback only, unless you can get 10 committed sedan owners. If you can, we'll do one for the sedan too.

Mistry · 03-04-2010, 01:20 AM

Nice to see update and it looks good so far!

....Wish list just keeps getting longer......

Slick · 03-04-2010, 01:55 AM

I like this version a gagillion times more than the mock photo. Any guess on the cost?

*tk-421* · 03-04-2010, 01:57 AM

I like where this is headed!

Some pics of the underside would be appreciated.
Will all mounting hardware be included? TIA

JBougie · 03-04-2010, 11:55 PM

What is the price for sedans if we can get 10?

cali yaris · 03-09-2010, 01:08 AM

sedan cost would be *about the same. You are looking at $300 range.

Here are some newer pics. First test hood out of the mold:

cali yaris · 03-09-2010, 01:10 AM

tk, it shouldn't need any hardware, your four stock bolts should fit. I'm also requesting that the hood prop hole be correct.

IF it requires different bolts then yes, it would come with those.

1NZYaris1 · 03-09-2010, 04:11 AM

what if we dont need the prop hole

, Auto open bonnets are sooooo cool

Love this bonnet

PETERPOOP · 03-09-2010, 04:14 AM

the lines from the front of the hood to the scoop don't look straight? am i seeing things?

*MAD DOG* · 03-09-2010, 05:01 AM

Just curious, are these hoods metal, plastic, fiberglass or other?

1NZYaris1 · 03-09-2010, 07:39 AM

Fiber Glass , and may be a batch run in C/F if the demand is there
i think , Hopefully we can get a few down under

Appears that way to me as well.

KCALB SIRAY · 03-09-2010, 08:47 AM

cali yaris · 03-09-2010, 09:23 PM

^ I'd be happy to email them to you (need your email address for that)

cali yaris · 03-09-2010, 09:23 PM

I've emailed the maker to make certain that the lines are straight, even and that the finish is good quality.
