had a drive of a couple of cars we installed the copies of my kit on... and they're not exactly what you'd call streetable. at the end of the day if I put the kit on my car I wouldn't be able to thrash it around like I do now, and I'd hate to be forced to baby it around for fear of ruining it.

Probably OK for a show car that'll sit n look pretty or a drift car with a workshop/sponsor backing that can afford to throw it around... but for me the impracticality kinda won in the end.

ugh... we sell the copies of the kit for $3500, fitting and painting really depends on how much prep work you want done... if its a matter of doing it ghetto (bog and rivets) then it'd be cheap... but the way we do it is to take the panel back to metal to allow the fibreglass to bond better, then prep and paint.

here's one we're doing atm:

the owner originally went to some bodyshop that did a really shocking job of it... when we got it there were more ripples on that kit than a pond on a rainy afternoon... so a lot of time was spent getting it smooth and ready for paint. Its a little different in that its getting an R34 front... but he's using the R32 wide guards, rad support and front bumper... which looks a little wierd as the R34's front is usually a lot higher than an R32... but hey, what the customer wants, the customer gets.

sure... the black one's finished, and sporting 10" wide 18" gold VS-XX's. The pics are at the workshop, so I'll post some pics up when I'm there next. It should be at autosmellon as its being built up as a show car.

oh and the kit in the pics is now sold :thanks: keep thinking I should've just put it on my car :domokun:

we do em at the workshop using the original lever assembly, relocated, so you can still release the fuel flap from inside the car. some people go ghetto n leave it off, and others leave the original one on with a step in from the wider guard to show that its a widebody.

      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

      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... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
