can't get carbon wide enough at the moment to do bonnets.. kinda sux but people will have to wait.. prob do one like mine for around 3grand. 100% carbon. i'm trying to talk to the boss about selling fibreglass bonnets with 1 layer of carbon but he's not interested.. so cant do them cheaper i guess he's just set on his dreams..

BAM. linky linkly

theres also a few videos somehwere on there,.. i dunno if i like teh vent of not, my mums gto has them and they look alright, everyone to there own i guess.

do custom body kit shops have to make these gaurds or can we just go and get them rolled to look like the ones in the pics?

lol....my rear guards are rolled...that is about as far as you can go!

sorry guys went out for lunch....

john i'm unsure about the laws but i think its fine as long as ya wheels dont stick out past the guard end..

prices for something like that hmm i dunno really, depends who fabricates it really...

and anna yeah that blue 33 is the nicest widebody i've seen in ages and thats what i want HLUCN8 to look like.

There is also a law about increasing track to much isnt there?

ahh damm then! will have to buy new gaurds then i guess?

Yes the cheapest I have seen is done by skyline imports and it is about 13k fitted and painted...it is the neatest finnish but because the cut off your old rear guard and stitch the new rear guard in so there is no seam

Noy I would suggest this is what has happened on the blue one you posted (Best ever) as the finnish is so smooth

wanna get this kit now... just saw it on the dmd website.

$1600 just for the rear gaurds. An extra $500 with sideskirts.

this doesnt including the priming and spraying though.

$3500 for the whole kit though.

just rang DMD and see what they could do for me.

I said I want to stick to the 400R bar i got on it right now.

so he suggested i would need to widen the 400r bar out a bit to suite the whole kit as 1.

this i can do as i wanna roll the front gaurds as well!

this is sound better and better to do :woot:

Holy crap.....dream on i will i guess

its funny how people dont think there worth that much or that we as a company rip people off. but when it comes down to it carbon fibre aint cheap $800 worth of carbon just to make 1 bonnet then 1 sheet high density PVC $100, highly modified resin, then vacuum bag,vacuum bag tape,peel ply then custom bracketing system then painting them at least 3 times to remove porosity in carbon.. all the shit adds up

That looks nice... but no way near as wide as the other ones.

once i'm out on my own doing my own business thing. i will be looking after SAU. but til then i guess i'm building someone else's dream and gaining experience as i go.

My adapter plate STILL isnt fcuking ready!!!! I jsut rang the useless pricks and they had to ask me if they were to cut it to the dxf file i sent them on thursday, or to the plate i provided them (when i clearly told them to cut it to the file). I cant believe they didnt ring me, when i told them i needed this ASAP, now i wont have it until tomorrow. Useless fcuks! :woot:

that is a cheap ass kakimoto rip off, dont do it you will regret it, to get a nice looking well integrated widebody budget 10k.....now it makes sense why not every one does it hey :wub: Ps you wont be able to roll your front guards more than a and inch and a bit, you will need new front guards too

Actually if anyone finds a good place for a light guard rolling let me know, I need my fronts done, they almost cut one of my tyres off the rim at the track day lol

No no i wasnt saying that i had never priced on before that all.

thats ok, i wasn't replying that directly at u mate.. just as a general statement.

john if your after wider just buy the gtr over fenders from topstage they sell them for like $500 not that hard to bog on and fair up yourself or any fibreglass shop can do it.. will look better
