Hey, does anyone know who is still doing this? I don't know if r23 is doing it anymore. But, his work was incredible, so I hope he is. If not, anyone no of a place or have any suggestions?

Thanks,

I know all his contact info. I already have the carbon fiber hood spoilers and TRD wing center bar from him. PhatCellyGT - awesome decision on your part. You are going to be SO impressed with the quality of them. They are absolutely incredible and better than any manufacturers products. Even though I got my hood spoilers like 4 months ago, I just installed them last weekend on my Fiber Images carbon fiber hood with Fiber Images Raised Hood scoop. It looks ABSOLUTELY INCREBIBLE and SOOOOO unique!!!! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Hood Spoliers?? I am a little lost here I thought at first you were speaking of the place in the center of the hood that looks like a hood scoop sort of then aerospike said he had a carbon fiber hood soop, a c/f hood, and c/f hood spoilers so that just ruled my hoodscoop idea out!! So what the heck is hood spoilers??? Help me out here!!

Ok guys....hehe....I wish I knew how to host pics on here so you could see my custom carbon fiber TRD hood spoilers. Hood spoilers used to be made by TRD and they went next to the hoodscoop. They looked tight IMO. Well, I decided that I wanted everything to match when I got a carbon fiber hood, and I've always wanted the TRD hood spoilers, so they needed to match too.
Next, I purchased a Fiber Images carbon fiber hood with the carbon fiber raised hood scoop. Then, I contacted r23 to custom make me TRD carbon fiber hood spoilers. After this I realized that was too much carbon fiber on the front of my car and I needed to "balance it out' on the back, so I had r23 make me a custom carbon fiber TRD wing center bar. Now, I'm getting r23's carbon fiber TRD headlight covers and carbon fiber canards for my authentic TRD mechanical front bumper. Also, I'm purchasing the Fiber Images carbon fiber hatch handle and TRD wing end caps. Lots of carbon fiber but it looks tight IMO.

By the way, here's a link to a pic of TRD hood spoilers so DopeCelicaGT can see what they looked like before they were discontinued.

~Fiber Images hood w/ scoop was $575 brand new - I definitely paid for the quality though. It's incredible and only weighs 10 lbs. To everyone who rats on Fiber Images, you must have just got one of their "bad day" products because my hood is the original and still the best IMO - well, except for the Spoon hood!!!
~Fiber Images Hatch Handle Cover - $127.25 shipped

No, there is no ongoing For Sale thread. You just have to have his contact information or know him personally from many months ago when he ran a GP on this.

Hell yeah R-23 I am intereested in a set of eyelids and the TRD wing center piece, they are bad as shiet IMO!! How do they install??? Hw hard are they to remove etc.????? Please let m know of pricing I a reallllllll interested in you stuff!!

Justin

02-23-2003, 07:33 PM
Hey lets get a group buy on this thing like the TRD wing center and eyelids!! Would it be too much to have the TRD hatch handle cover, the TRD wing end caps, the TRD win center piece, a C/F hood, and then the C/F headlight covers?? Wouls that be way too much or should I go for the C/f hood, C/f eyelids, the wing center and ends and that be all??

My plan is to have a CF hood, center wing and hatch handle in CF, thas it. I would get the CF headlamp covers and paint em is all. Theyre hard as hell to find, I dont really care what color I get em in, they'll just be repainted! :)

02-25-2003, 05:05 AM
I think eyelids and hood are too much by themselves. I have hood and wing, that's it. Oh yeah, and hoodspoilers!
