Drop Ur Bonnet? Or Press Ur Bonnet?

[1R34SON]

lol i thought this might be interesting duno if theres a topic about this but I have heard too many people that argue both sides for different reasons.

So what do you think? After a job well done under your bonnet, do you hold n drop ur bonnet or do you gently press it till it locks in?

get the comments goin!

Drop it!!!! but only from a few inches up.

Drop FTW. Especially if it's a GT-R bonnet. Those fckers dent when you breathe on 'em...

[1R34SON]

I drop mine also from about 5-7inches. Can anyone give reasons why one of the ways are bad?

[TezGT-R]

GT-R bonnet is aluminium. Lighter/weaker. It will dent if you press on it. Other bonnets are tougher. If you drop them from too high it might bend something in the clip/catch mechanism.

I saw my friend press the bonnet on his car, so i did the same as i had no idea it could be bad. Until another friend of mine (who is a car enthusiast) said that by pushing it u dent the bonnet. best to hold a drop.

I drop from about 2-3 inches...

I drop from about 2-3 inches...

depends how heavy i guess i tried lower but doesnt click all the way

[TezGT-R]

With a GT-R you gotta drop from a little higher than a normal one. It weighs less so its harder to get it to 'click' into the catch

I've got a standard bonnet and press it down. It's stock so as long as you're not pressing it down from the middle then it should be fine.

I've heard somewhere about fiberglass bonnets cracking from pressing down?

[Charles89]

i drop mine, coz my panel beater told me that he has seen big hand size dents on bonnets coz people press on them.

but what about the boot? do you guys drop it or press it?

i drop mine too...

[infamous_t]

Drop if its a GTR, my spring tension is a little high on clip, so I drop it from a little higher than most recommend, 5-7in is about right for me.

Its funny when you go to lift a non GTR bonnet, its so damn heavy in comparison you think its still locked

[NoFX_Hardcore]

I push mine, but i make sure i have one hand either side so its not pushing down in the middle. Mines CF but so i doubt it would dent like a standard one...? Otherwise drop from a small height. Boot i have to almost slam shut otherwise it pops open.

[madbung]

They're designed to drop....so drop I do

[drmafia]

i press cuz mines way too light for the spring to let it in with droping.. depends on the bonet and what its made of..

[1R34SON]

yeh boot drops easy. i would of thought that pressing ur bonnet in the middle would be the best spot... or are you's talking about the actual centre of the bonnet. Im think where the catch lock is put ur hand on that, shouldnt bend huh. I can imagine pressing from one of the font corners, stuff that.

I wana lift up a GTR bonnet now. sounds very lite. I can do shoulder press with my bonnet. Gona open up a new gym, no weights just skyline bonnets. haha
