hey man, im in the same boat, i want a flat boot lid and i asked viva garage and they said they dont stock them lol:S and i have only spotted them on Carmate.com aswell, so yeah i think im just going with carmate :banana:

Mate, yeah carmate.com definitely have them - despite what some say, they're not too bad, but you'll be in for a 2-3 week wait for them to dispatch something now seeing it's Christmas and all.

I'd also try XXX Bodykits and Jetspeed - I know they have them too.

What you can do if you like is bring your car to a panel beater and get them to flush-fill your boot with fibreglass - looks very nice too and possibly cheaper.

Good luck.

Cheers,

thanks mate yeh i will probly end up going carmate. thanks mate
..

No worries mate.

If I were you, I'll consider my options first... one thing though, if you get an aftermarket FB boot, it won't look as flush.... so yeah....

I was a little worried about the lock area as it looks like it has the hole covered over and you can see some sort of depression, I was a little sceptical about the item to be honest... but similar ones come up on auction a fair bit...

yeh i did notice that but oh well its nice all the same, yeh i will keep an eye out cheers. also while im talking to you i noticed that you do vinal grafics. i was wondering what a desing like on a drift car ive seen spnsored by viva garage is whorth, its just a pin stripe that tapers from fine and thin at the front qauter panel and runs to the rear of the car near the tail light wear it gradually gets thicker towards the rear, and follows the little body line just under the door handle, the stripe is made from rectangle blocks that have a angled end if that makes sence like slices i guess

    • 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.  
    • 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... 😛
