Finally got my kit on!!! (warning: it's a supra)
I've noticed a ton of nice rides here. Thought I'd add a little flavor to the lot and show you guys mine

It's the white supra. I don't know about you guys , but I get nightmares when I'm away from my car. So, the whole time at the shop I was a wreck. After she came back, I was pleasantly surprised.

Nice ride J!
The hood scoop may not belong but its actually functional. It helps feed air directly to the air port that helps cool the turbo.

but if it wasnt functional I would tell you it didnt belong
but if you wanted to help cool it, why didnt you get a hood with vents, like one of these 2?:

Yeah those hoods are very nice and VERY pricey. The scoop I believe just bolts on to the OEM hood. Cheaper solution to cooling.
Those extra vents on the TRD hoods you listed are there to release heat from the engine bay. It looks damn nice though!

The hood scoop is actually oem for the european supras - my only concern with those other hoods would be keeping rain out of the engine - i'm wondering a believer that the body kits helps - I went down to the track last night and my personal best was 12.4 - now after the body kit, she ran a 12.3 - it's a small difference but at least it's a bonus

aluminum? well sort of....lol
here's the link to what it looks like - as fas as I know, there are only two being shipped to the states - one guy's in L.A and the other is me. hopefully, it'll be in about another month or so, the shop said it would have to be special ordered

i hope it comes in soon - for me, i believe money is wasted until your product comes in cause that's money you could be putting to use..
