Hi there, this is Panda86 in Vancouver BC canada. I organized a carbon / fiberglass hood group buy on Dori Kaze and I wanted to post up the offer here.
Gemini makes amazing carbon hoods, and they are JDM quality if not better! They are currently making an OEM AE86 carbon hood and a fiberglass hood.
If you have questions, please e-mail info@geminicomposites.com re: shipping rates and payment info. Or if you post up, I will try to answer as best i can. I'm not affiliated with them, just trying to get this GB happening!
Thanks T.
Gemini Composites will be producing OEM style hoods for the AE86 Corolla (GTS, hatch, coupe and SR5's are all the same to my knowledge) for a exclusive group buy. If you have ever seen Gemini products, you know that quality, fitment and high quality finish are very important. Their hoods retail for more than what we are paying.
If you do not have all the funds right now, you can leave a security deposit. The mold will take a couple weeks to make, and then the hoods themselves will take approx 4 weeks. These are the hood specs:
- the hood will be carbon, and have a fiberglass reinforced skeleton
- it will have rolled edges
- there is a plated steel plate / latch for an OEM fit
- squirter holes can be drilled by Gemini
- beautiful weave patterns with rolled, not cut edges
- smooth high gloss finish
- full factory-style under frame
- aluminum reinforcement in all hinge and latch areas
- plated steel latch mounted with flat head machine screw for a clean, smooth look
- all holes for hinges and latches drilled and tapped for perfect fit / washer holes drilled by request/
- frames are fiberglassed to the carbon skin for maximum safety / our hoods have been track tested to 250 km/hr or 155 miles/hr with-out hood pins
*** THESE PICTURES ARE EXAMPLES OF CONSTRUCTION / QUALITY ONLY! THE HOOD WILL LOOK AND BE SHAPED JUST LIKE AN OEM AE86 HOOD ***

Here's the prices (they will change after this group buy!):
Gemini carbon AE86 OEM style hood = group buy price $650 (canadian)
Gemini Fiberglass AE86 OEM style hood = group buy price $550 (canadian)
add $100 for a V pattern or colored carbon hood (see Gemini site for deets)
If you want one, here's what you do:
1. Post up your user name, and full name (so that we know we have enough people) and what kind of hood you want (carbon or fiberglass)
2. Contact Marc at Gemini by e-mail at info@geminicomposites.com Please put "Dori Kaze Corolla hood group buy" in the title, and give them your contact info. Marc will give you detailed info on deposits and payment. You must leave a deposit with Gemini for your hood to be made.
3. You must complete the payment of the balance of your order before you will receive your hood.
4. we can make arrangements for pick up at a later date
The Gemini products are great, and they usually retail in the $900- $1000 range.
