Painting A Gtr Bonnet Black On A White R32

[vidospace]

I was considering a carbon fibre bonnet which would look fantastic on my White R32 GTR but the problem is that it is illigal in NSW. I need a touch up on some chips on it anyway and was wondering what people think about just painting the stock alloy bonnet in gloss black instead? Has anyone else done it? Got any pics?

just keep it white mate......

I think youll find black bonnet on a white car is bad luck or something like that...

Stick to white i reckon.

Just do what i did buy a nother bonnet to paint black so you can change it when you get board of the same look.

I tend to agree....either go carbon an just put your stock bonnet back on if you get done about it. Or just stick with White

the old painting the bonnet black looks a bit "rice racer", real deal or not at all I say.

in my opinion, painting a bonnet black on a car that is not black is compeltely stupid

Go a FG hood with an intake for the pods...if legal. Black hood on a white car...if it has the right wheels and a few other styling cues, will look hard core JDM time attack...check your hyper rev If its lighter you can go the "I'm saving weight" route but if its a painted aluminium hood then its a bit try hard IMHO. Go for it

A bit more hard core...mmm CF doors

Well I guess the general consensus is "hell no!" so I will stick with the white for now.

if you want a CF bonnet I say do it. if you have a problem with the law down the track deal with it if/when it happens. just please don't buy one of the cheap arse ones with the 3 vents and the silver mesh and the high gloss finish. damn they look like arse.

ahhh dont do what people tell you to do, do what you like its your car after all, personally i think it depends on the car itself some look good with a black bonnet as where others dont look as good.

are carbon bonnets illegal in nsw? lol since when..? seen sooo many rice boys hooning in their carbon hooded toys.. hmm.. but i guess everythings illegal now ay.

i know if i was really keen on a carbon fibre bonnet still that didnt stand out as much, i'd go for a simple design if not just oem style and paint it the same colour as my car. that way, its definitely not for show and all for go (except those sexy bonnet pins lol)
