I don't know man but I hope they make a TCS CF Invader hood, that's the one I like.

yea, i'm guessing thats TC spoiler. thats the one i have on mine. i think i've already told my stories about it but overall i wouldn't really reccomend it. real good qulity fiber but it had a big wave down the side of mine and lots of little bumps/chips in my friend's. for the price i paid, i still don't really feel like it was worth it :(.

tc spoilers are okay. they're grade B type hoods. i talked to one of the reps over there. mb auto is one of the companies that distribute the hood. i'm going to be getting a ViS cf hood. their new ones are very good. they wrap around the edges. MidnightKraze, if you want the invader style, ViS is the one's who make it.
TCS hood and Vis are made by the same manufacturer. The hood is good the edges is beveled and the carbonfiber quaility looks really good. Im getting one soon and Im picky. The only thing is I hate the back of carbonfiber hoods so im getting the back painted black to give it more of a factory look.

tcs is a total different company. they do have a bodykit, if you wanna take a look at it check out the gallery on www.everythingcelica.com does anyone know what kind of fitment the kit is? i really like the body kit. if tcs also makes a cf hood that sound like a good package i would do...
www.Mbautosport.com does sell the TCS kit as well. The hood is so good I picked it up today the combo would be very good.

im looking at the pics at the website, its seems like the fitment's not good. Do you know if they already fixed it?
