wukindada Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I am looking @ possibly switching out my GT hood (Garnet Red) for a standard 2.5i. Cleaner look & adds a little to the "Sleeper" effect;) Does it have the exact same fittment? Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyalla Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 It does. But how about the ram air duct? Isn't that needed on the GT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 He may have a FMIC. But more importantly isn't the 2.5 hood heavier? --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM 525 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yes it is. The GT hood is aluminum and even weight aside it will still remove heat from the engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Ohhhhhh..... forgot about the wt difference:eek: Mods....you can close the thread..... Thanks! Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTM 525 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 On the original question asked (sorry I got off topic a bit) I believe fitment is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 there was a discussion here recently about whether or not the 2.5i hood was steel or aluminum... several members chimed in stating that they believe the 2.5i is in fact aluminum as well (non magnetic, at least)... so the weight savings may not be an issue. As far as i know, this wasn't actually confirmed by a 2.5i owner --- but many people felt it was true... all i'm trying to say is this -- don't rule it out yet -- you might want to investigate further becuase it still may be worthwhile.

wukindada Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 I will be asking Opie..... If indeed it is aluminum that may be the route I want to go:) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMBIVALENCE Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I am looking @ possibly switching out my GT hood (Garnet Red) for a standard 2.5i. Cleaner look & adds a little to the "Sleeper" effect;) Does it have the exact same fittment? You see, rather if it is aluminum or not... it is just not a cheap possibility... THERES NO GARNET RED 2.5i.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 But there were Garnet Red 3.0R Outback sedans and GRP Outback wagons. No scoop, but does have raised "strakes" inboard of the hood crease lines. Take a look at red beasts's car... not quite as plain as 2.5i... but close. And it should be exact same fitment. Grilles attach in the same place (but go deeper into the bumper cover area on outback... top edge of grille should be the same.) headlights, fenders, windsheild cowl, and everything else that borders the hood should be identical.

That wagon is hawt and I like the clean look alot. However, I think those strakes would subtly hint to the passing pedestrian at the beast which lies inside.

If there's something called a 3.0R in north america, i'd prolly will buy the car even that means living on canned food. The problem is, canada doesnt even have the 3.0 outback sedan.

Opie Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I will be asking Opie..... If indeed it is aluminum that may be the route I want to go:) All 05+ Legacy's and Outbacks have aluminum hoods and all are interchangable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
