Hood Question, easy answer if you have a tape measure.
Hi fellow toyota fans...I presently own three ST165's...for those who do not know what they are, they are "homologation special vehicle" built for the WRC (thats what i tell people when i brag lol)....but no really though, not many were made, they are a AWD Turbo car. powered by the famed and prided 3s-gte.

but enough of that silliness...i'm here at aeu86.org because i came across this strange looking st165:

yes i know the bumper is missing, etc etc, but the hood is what caught my interest. since i have been into alltracs for over 3 years now. i have yet to see an aftermarket hood for an alltrac, well to be exact a ST165, the ST185 and ST205 have some aftermarket support but not much....either way in that video the hood def looks to be after market.

One i would love to have one for efficiency, due to the fact that i have a turbo crammed up the hood, and it gets HOT in there:

no ventilation at all, so a hood like that would be GREAT.

plus to me it that hood looks pretty cool.

my guess is that the individual in that youtube video bought a hood for another car with similar body dimensions. So comparing the appearance of the two stock hoods of a AE86 and a ST165, they are both toyota, they are of the same vintages, they both have flip up head lights, the hoods look very very very similar....so since i dont have a AE86(although i would like to have one, just having three alltrac's kinda makes a person poor over time) i was hoping a kind person on this forum could do me a favor and measure their stock hood for me?

hope its not too much to ask Smile

thank you all for you time, and maybe one day i will be graced with owning another amazing toyota and become an active member on here Smile you never know. thanks again Smile
