Gtr Gts-t Front Bonnet

[Italiazr1]

Im sick of looking for a gtr bonnet so now ive decided to have my gts-t bonnet CUT

Has anyone here done it before does anyone know someone that can do it ???

I know it can be done cause ive seen some cars in yards with em

I need help im not sur how much trouble it will be

I think you're crazy. Unless if you are a metal worker. It would be a hard job...

Just saw one for sale on this forum for 300 with a few scratches and dints. That + paint/repair would have to be cheaper that cut/repair/paint. And you can sell your GTSt bonnet.

i have to agree with Russell. Just buy a gtr bonnet, and sell your old one.

Remember a gtr one is 1/2 the weight

You cant read? He cant find one....they are way too expensive anyway, hard to repair too.

Its fairly easy. Got a mate who did this, mark a nice and straight line, cut it good with a grinder, bend the underneath up to the new cut area.

Rivet a piece of metal on the underneath so when u lift up the bonnet u dont rip the top skin off.

Glue a piece of thin rubber over the cut so it looks neat.

Job done...cheaply.

There are some in the for sale section. Wreckers will have them. If it's done cheaply without paint it will look.....cheap...

Also open the door for rust where the paint comes off.

Cool for a drift pig if that's what you're after.

I would be likely to think the "chopped" bonnet will be illegal.

Even down the bottom section there? Is there ribbing on a 32 in that area? I would have thought it was simply some folded metal, just extended more than a GTR bonnet.

I would probably buy a GTR bonnet though in all honesty, you dont want some half-assed GTS-T/GTR mockup that isn't even straight! I'd wait around till you find something you are happy with, unless you 100% need it by a certain date etc..

Good luck

im thinking about buying it

but even the gts bonnet is hard to sell no one wants em anyway mine has a long scratch on it to so it needs paint i was thinking maybe get the panel beater to do it all for me
