If it's going to be permanent, you could get them welded up and bogged and sprayed relatively cheaply. Not that hard to do most the work your self, and just leave the spray for teh experts, probably cost a couple of hundred.

Otherwise Bluetac FTW :D

Rubber grommets from Clark Rubber. They cost like $1 each, maybe not even, I don't remember. Just go in, grab some, and test fit (they'll let you), make sure they fit quite tight. I have some that are the pull through grommets, they're mad.

Grommets just sound so dodge for a permanent job. I mean were talking about modifications for a skyline, if the jobs permanent, do the car the justice it deserves and do it properly. I'm sure you could use rubber grommets just like people use a bucket for a pod cover.. lol

Seriously mate i'm sure you could go to any local business that does welding, ask them to weld a plate on the underside, then bogging is really quite easy. Give it a go yourself bog it up and sand it back.

Otherwise panel shops fix front bars for like $180, and they do all the work them self, so I'm sure if found someone to weld it up, you could then just drop your boot lid in at the start of the week you'd have it back in a few days for around $200 cash.

I've got a quote for the proper job, welded, bogged and painted for about $500 .. but for abit extra $$$ u can buy brand new carbon fibre bootlid . so, what u guys reckon?

where can i get carbon fibre bootlid for my 32 ?

cheers

dude 500 for some paint on boot is wayyyyyyyyyyy to much

i wouldnt pay more then 250-350.

The CF bootlid, is it all made out of CF or is it fiberglass with a layer of carbon?

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
