got bored tonight and had a play with photoshop while making a new avatar.

you've probably seen it all before, but wouldnt it be cool if you could get actually bonnets like this! i'd buy one in a jiffy!

its not the best photoshop job, but just looked cool with the red so i thought i'd share! :thumbsup:

you can do it in real life. you need to thermoform lexan onto your existing bonnet then somehow put up with the underbonnet bracing showing thru :thumbsup:

looks pretty funky funky monkey!

would look cooler if it was brushed like in the pic and slowly faded to clear in the middle though, not just a cut out! :P

if my car was a show car i'd get one made out of lexan or perspex or something just for shows!

There's a few show cars getting around with lexen bonnets, completely see through... some have whole bonnets, some have large areas like the picture shown up there...

not impossible, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal

if it wasnt a bit ricey, i'd probably go ahead and just do it because if i get pulled over i'm pretty much f**ked anyway.

might as well go down in style and frame the next defect notice. :)

couldn't you use the bracing for a bonnet that has a cut out bit, and just have a see through cover or something and just paint that, so it would look similiar to that?

i don't know how o explain my idea but it'd be good.

    • wow so i just logged back in after buying the 33 and joining SAU, And I've got all a whole bunch of you wanting to know more, well unfortunately it still doesn't run i was hoping it was seized from a snapped timing belt as i turned it over by hand and it was fine and then it did a few revolutions and jammed solid when i was running it with the key, so the timing belt is mint, I've also found a lot of the parts I'm removing have already got bolts undone or not quiet tight enough to be unsuspicious. so the plan is to find a running RB30 block and chuck my head on it.  I have a habit of buying stuff I don't need or require so for my none running engine i have a forward facing plenum , Apexi power fc, 40mm Turbosmart wastegate, And for the car its self coilovers ,low seat rails and BRZ seats (black seats with red stitching i already had these and they are ADR Approved and allow rear passengers access)  
    • I took apart the dash and found this strange 2 pin connector. it dosen't seem like its factory or oem, any clue on why someone would add it and where it might have been connected too?    
    • Not mention a SS2 especially with that rear oddly small rear housing. I feel the Facebook mechanics and experts has led OP in the wrong direction.
    • Won't get near 400kw, pump and injectors nowhere big enough. Bin the manifold and get off the shelf and a modern ECU.
