EVO Bonnets (old thread)

[Guest]

i might be picking up a fibreglass evo style bonnet in a couple off weeks,
see how rich im feeling,

not into the carbon bonnet look,
makes it look like you couldnt afford to paint your bonnet imo

i agree...
black car's look alright with carbon bonnets, but any other car i cant stand with a carbon bonnet. much prefer a nice body coloured bonnet with some vents in it

most CF bonnets are fibreglass with a CF overlay anyway... REAL 100% CF bonnets are about $5k

Oh I dunno. I've always been a fan of the white body, CF bonnet, black rims with chrome dish look on a GT-R (R34 GT-R VspecII Nurburgring special edition, for example). It gives it the unsponsored "privateer" look but it can only go on certain types of cars.

IMHO, it wouldn't really suit a Legnum and "oh God no" to the Honda Civics. Mitchy, your R33 would have been a good candidate but without the stripe down the side. R.I.P. your car dude... but you have a worthy replacement!

i wanted a R34 GTR Z-Tune style bonnet, painted white of course.. would have been 'complete' for me then.....

i'd like to have an evo style bonnet on the leggy at some stage too...just something nice and subtle.

(bonnet vents make me feel all funny inside )

tissues please!

Topstage do a vent very similar to that. I have one featuring on my R31. I don't think it will suit the curves of the galant/legnum though. You could also blend it level ofcourse.

Joel, light a fire under that thing and I'll bring some snags around

photochop anyone?!

a few weeks ago, i spoke to a guy at AJPerformance and said that they can customize the bonnets.. the typical evo style CF bonnets that they're selling cost $875.00 and the custom ones cost a little extra..

so maybe it's worth a shot getting a custom Z-Tune style bonnet as well as a GROUP BUY?!

I would like to see how the Z-Tune style bonnet would look on my car..

 

[Guest]

lol, i was talking about the Z-Tune bonnet for my skyline... but i dont think it would look to bad on the leggy..

I am still standing by my thought that a Z-Tune vent will be too angular.

The galant/legnum is a very curvy car. Z-Tune is a box in comparison. I wonder how a pair of MASA vents would look?...

Mark: I'll give you a hint, it's a bonnet, not a BBQ hahaha

Part way down this page a a MASA "STYLE" vent available from Topstage.

we have lots of bolt on or bonnet vents available, just check it out at our site www.topstage.com

me personally like simple single dip vents. or twin gills at the very back to extract alot of heat from turbo etc.

Just make sure the vents aren't too far back, otherwise you will start sucking in air instead of evacuating it!

Fred, Are you interested in making up an evo style bonnet for the legnum, seeing as you now own one??

Forget the hood, I'll take the girl!

 

[CumBa]

just the visible part?

 

[Hotwire]

Isn't that bonnet for a Honda though?

 

[CumBa]

Yes but they build them for the VR-4 too

you see?
