yeah I've heard the same about sunroofs, somethign to do with the UV treated glass already being put in, so it blocks most of the UV rays and is factory tinted

not sure about it cracking though :S never seen it crack, it just looks ultra crap when they are tinted beyond the factory spec

yeah i got the same thing when i got my tint put on. asked for really dark tint on the sunroof and got, "we cant tint sunroofs because they crack and even shatter when they are heated." something to do with them being tempered glass i think.

"the best for lesser dont go to the tint molester" he took out my 6x9's then aparently didnt have a drill so he couldnt put them back in!?!? so i had to go back and get them put in from another place out my my pocket then go back to tint professor to get my money back, after waiting for 50 minutes for the guy to come down and talk to me he finally gave me a check. after this i was really pissed off.

i spose in the end it was okay because they did do a good job but they could have called me and told me they needed to take them out, also the bosses manner was really rude to me and my family when he rocked up at my place, he was just a cockey loud f**kwit. he left the courtesy car at my house and never gave me any keys so wtf was with that? i would never go back. i think he is on cocaine. he also started to bag out my friend infront of me even though i called up and said i have a reference from him so aparently i got it cheaper. a complete dick dont go to them. he also never called me when the job was complete i called him up and he said it was done 2 hours earlier!?!??

my car came with death black import tint, you couldnt see out it especially at night it was a death trap. i got the second most darkest tint and it is perfect, il post some pics up if you want.

Of course you can tint a sunroof. just cos it's safety or not, privacy glass or not, who cares. If it's smooth, it can be tinted.

This girl at uni had her sunroof tinted. She was driving along one day and out of nowhere her whole sunroof shattered on top of her.

wow that would have made someone have to change there undies. It is strange because the sunroof glass always seems to be the most dirtiest and also the hardest to clean? is this because it is diffrent type of glass than the windows all together?

I think what the tinters are saying is that the sunroof might shatter while they're tinting it.

They have to use a heat gun to heat shrink the tint so it sits down properly on the curved glass. If they accidently use too much heat (which can happen) it might push the glass beyond the max temp it can withstand and crack or even break with the slightest amount of pressure, like when opening or closing the sunroof. It's possible the integrity of the glass might also be affected thereafter if the glass has been heated way over what it can withstand... with an outcome similar to what kryzsiu posted.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
