Hi. These guys offer a selection of kits. Seem to be the same ones as UAS, but they have a wider range. Even though the owner is more into Soarers, they still seem to know what they are talking about. Check 'em out at: http://www.importscene.com.au/category20_1.htm

The Series I kits have the main centre vents, heater and stereo surround, but the Series II kits don't. I don't know if the Series I centre vent bit will fit the Series II (looks like it to me, but I haven't been in a Series I).

Cheers.

I can do it myself but problem is I don't have a workshop to do it. And doing it in an open space at my place means while paint is drying dust/dirt particles could landed on the surface and spoil the result. I had this done on my speedo surround, because it was a small part, as soon as I spray it I took it inside and cover it with a box. Dash facia is a different story as it's way too large to find a box to fit to cover it. So I'm sticking with black on mine, but silver would be nice

i jus put the dash an s#@$ on a table an cover with plastic sheet ( held up so dont touch paint) afta i painted didn have any real probs with dust an stuff other tham gove box learned my lesson afta that

Good for you if you can do that. Sadly, that is still impossible for me.

The only place big enough for a table is in my living room and there's

no way I'm gonna do some spray painting in there. All the paint fume

makes the room smells like sh1t afterwards. Believe me I tried before and

I learnt my lesson. Smell like paint for days even with windows opened for days.

I live in a flat and it's either painting in my living room or my balcony outside. I choose the balcony as I have no garage or shed, only car spot side by side with other neighbours on a shared open space. And I can't do it in the car park as the

paint fume will definitely flew over blown by the wind and may stain my neighbour's car. Each car here is parked next to each other about 50-60cm

apart only. I don't wanna be sued for any paintwork damage on their car.

    • 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... 😛
    • 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
