If you read from the beginning of the thread you will come accross the link for autostyle, and there is a pic of a black one there.

I have read from the beginning and those linked are not the full length to the rear window, they are the short ones, which don't look nice IMO.

The only full length ones I have seen the link to were from drive2.ru a Russian website.

Commsman, I prefer the painted look.

Josh, autostyle web site don't have the full length ones. Been through that already.

as started previously eiyher get vinyl and wrap it or paint it. Alot of effort for something that looks like a sore thumb. Each to their own Edited by joshm35

Nzguzzi, that was my problem as well. I like the full length ones.

The ones I'm modifying should be finished in a couple of weeks. I will post pics once done.

As you said josh....."each to there own". Thats what modifying is all about.

Individual tastes.

Btw its not illegal to cover the top section. As there is no globe in there and no reflector. Reflectors are down the bottom of our tail lights.

There very expensive and only on exchange basis.

^This, I have seen the varieties on IM, some of the light configurations are nice some are not and they all are exchange items.

I'd prefer to do it myself, get to choose how to set up the lights and would be much less expensive than importing!

I'm not a massive fan of LED tail lights or any kind of exterior light as yet, when they make them less directional, brighter or/and with light rods I'll be interested. Otherwise great for interior.

I know they're getting the brightness part sorted, here's a pic of one out of a very large projector (red segment).

    • 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... 😛
