R33 Boot Lid

[mitchy_]

anyone know where i can get a flush R33 boot lid from? (such as below)

only one i have found is the Do Luck one, and its about $600 + postage and painting... looking for something a tad cheaper.

cheers

speed works sell flush ones carbon fibre ones mitchy but they are a bit more like around 900$$.

mitch, when u find one give us a pm, i have been looking ages for a nice one but cant find anyones at an alright price

dave - $900 isnt too bad for CF... seing as it will be about $8-900 for the Do Luck one, with shipping, and painting.. CF you just bolt on..

will do mike

Anyone ever thought of buying an old one off a wreck and bog/glassing it up yourselves ?

Might even be worth it to raise the sides to they slope up toward the sides (if you know what i mean)

?

ya, i thought of similar to that strich9 (welding a new top on), i was going to ring a wrecker today but forgot...

cheers anyway

Do you guys realise how heavy the stock boot lid is? When i took mine off to fit my stealth wing i was shocked by its weight. By welding/bogging up a stock boot lid to make it flat will just make it that much heavier - if you just want the looks then i guess you dont have a problem with that. But yeah, as others have mentioned a cf boot from someone like speedworks will save you time and problem but in return cost you alot of money.

the bootlid isnt all that heavy.. i found it a shitload lighter with the wing removed..

and if i did hack up a stock one, id cut the old skin off, foam it up, and fibreglass over it, would be nice and rattle-proof then too.

those C/F boots, im pretty sure i just a layer of c/f over fiber class, dont know how strong it would be in a crash

whut abt getting one of those drift wings tht JMS used to have

[mitchy_]

i was looking at drift wings.. if going for a flush boot costs too much ill get one, but id prefer the flush lid

[alpinestars]

umm give fibrevision a ring coz they supply them

btw how much are the d wings

[mitchy_]

bout 150 for a drift wing

[Nozila]

$150 for a stealth/drift wing? Thats rediculously cheap. Wish mine was that cheap when i got it.

[alpinestars]

where can i get one from

[uneekwahn]

yeah, $150 is ridiculously cheap...

i'll get one

[mitchy_]

ooops.. just noticed my mistake.. meant about $350..

Has anyone found a drift wing that you can bolt onto the boot lid instead of glueing it on? I've seen a few 'glued on' drift wings and could see the glue inbetween the seams, wasn't too impressed. Plus I would like to be able to take it off if I felt like it.
