Default any pic avaliable of toms aero hood?

i am looking for DETAILED pics of the toms aero hood. soo far i think that one is the most tasteful/subtle aero hood made for the GS...I already used the search engine but i could only find the website pics....i am looking for actual real life pics...

i am debating whether to continue with the all out clean look or shall i add a tad of aggressiveness to the car? i guess the price would be justifiable for me as long as it still looks clean, great fitment (this is a total must!), and great quality

thank you

cody

Cody, I'm not sure you will find too many pics of the Toms hood. With a price tag of over $3500, many people can't justify spending that kind of money for just a hood... Good luck with your search...

Just tell Chris (redgs4) to get it and he will. He has every TOMs part already. I know he was looking at the hood. lol

Yeah but as Ken said, $3500 cost as much as the rest of his TOM's kit.


He does have almost every TOM's product installed on his car. Maybe he should try for a sponsorship in exchange for that hood.

Are you reading this red?

Instead of getting the Toms hood why not get the JP kit, unless you already have it cody

i was thinking about a JP front bumper...i figure...since the bumper has the license plate holes, rock chips, and ugly orange side markers..that is more than enough for me to consider the JP bumper...

the JP sides...nice too but i did some research and found they have that door cap problem? and another is i love the sporty look of the l-tuned sides...i know everyone on CL has it but somehow i still love it!

the JP rear...i have been considering that...but i am soo happy with my carson tuned exhaust and from what i know soo far...the carson only works well on the stock bumper...on aftermarket it will sit in too much i think

and after a few VIP mods (JP tails, spoiler, grill)...I want to give the car a few tasteful touches of sportyness as well and another reason is the toms hood is very rare too

Very rare indeed. You will be the ONLY one with that. Just paint the price on the hood too!

My ears are burning. I really like the Tom's hood but I can't get past the $3000+ price. Sell the same hood at $1500 and I would buy it in a second.

Almost every Tom's part... Rom pointed out some new braces that I am missing and was asking if I had already ordered them.

What hood does DaveGS4 have? If it's not Toms, then it's sure pretty close

I could find many better ways to spend $3500 on my GS than this hood

Mine is a Veilside hood (fiberglass). It does look similar, but doesn't have those slots up near the cowl area at the top of the hood.
