hid's or cf hood?

[deathrow23]

both about the same......which 1 should i get

[baNanA_ryCe]

what u got on ur car so far?

[deathrow23]

kaminari frnt/rmm sides/rear/wing.18'" rims..springs....but i was searching and read on the hid option in 2003....would that be better if they have it. then aftermarket hid.....cheaper?

[baNanA_ryCe]

wat about engine stuff? like exhaust intake?

[deathrow23]

not doin anything to engine yet....spending money on show no...and go later

[baNanA_ryCe]

go for cf hood than. much more impacting than HIDS

[deathrow23]

any1 have any info on tcs carbon fiber hoods or does any1 have them.......i went to mbautosports.com...and they have that one in stock.....is the brand any good....the guy says i could get one shipped for $515

i say go with an exhaust cuz to me, the sound of the car is also part of show. that and appearance of a bodykit with stock exhaust doesnt quite look right to me. but if i would choose one of the 2 you mentioned... i would go with the cf hood

[redcellyinfl]

id say go for the HIDS!... cuz think about it.. with the HID bein an option for the 03s that means that evryone is gonna have HIDS on a celica.. so u should get them be4 the 03s even come out so u can be the first one to be drivin around with them.. then get the cf hood.. thats what id do...

[Sups]

then again the CF hood are not an option so then that means your one of the few cruising down the streets with them.

i just ordered my carbon fiber hood from a local shop and i checked out mbautosport first. What i was told was its not an actual hood it is only a skin which means u take the skelaton from the stock hood and put the new skin on top and then you hav to fasten it. If thats true it seems like after the money for labor it goes up quite a bit. Just wondering if anyone had heard th same thing or knows the answer.
by the way i would get the hood first

[IceManFX]

get the hid they look nice and they are a good safety addition

[deathrow23]

about half and half here.......but im leaning towards...the cf hood..our stock lights looks good i suppose....

[Mistrimeat]

hood

[CelicaNamja79]

hood.

H.I.D. would be a nice addition to the show but I'd say the CF hood will give more of an impact.

[beth]

why don't you just buy some superwhite bulbs and go for the cf hood. the cf would would make you stand out alot more than the HID's would IMO......

[Robdog]

Write both the carbon fiber hood, and HID's down on paper tear them apart from each other, and put in a hat and have your girlfriend or yourself pick a piece of paper out of the hat and that will be the one to get...Cant go wrong with either choice, both would be considered a mod....

Coming from someone who has both HID and CF Hood.

You should definately get the CF Hood. The HID does'nt make as big as a difference than CF Hood.

So far the HID has been a pain. Its not very reliable at all. And CF Hood makes a bigger visual impact. Our stock Celica lighting is very good already.

I'd say HIDs. I don't like the black hood thing. I suppose you don't plan to paint it?
