[glenn-boy]

hey all,

im after a ztune bonnet for my r34 not sure whether to go carbon fibre or just a fibreglass and paint it black?

has any one any pics of this carbon fibre bonnet on the r34. im not sure what it would like

can any one help me,

cheers guys

hey mate, if you want black, u might as well get a carbon fibre one..

because by the time you buy a fibre glass bonnet, and then get it sprayed, u would probably paid the same as the carbon..

thats just my two cents

[inthisglass]

go CF

looks so much cooler than just black

plus its lighter

[mattxwa]

Its not carbon fibre anyway,its still fibreglass with a top layer,therefore being slightly heavier?

[glenn-boy]

yeah the price is about the same

i just havent seen a black r34 with carbon bonnet i want peoples opinions on the look. it will definately be a ztune style

Just keep in mind that you are opening up a hole in your bonnet therefore rain can get in...

Carbon fibre bonnets are illegal according to other threads on here, but fibreglass if it is an approved one isn't, don't take my word for it but thats what I've read....Cost me $350 to get my fibreglass bonnet painted, but I did pick up the bonnet very cheap brand new. Don't forget bonnet locks they are recommended for all CF and FG bonnets, aerocatch all way for the locks...

If its just going to be a fibreglass with a layer of CF over the top then whats the point go fibreglass or get a full carbon fibre and expect to pay easily over $1200...

[glenn-boy]

so what will rain do? i only know of the dizzy being affected by water...

[75coupe]

um well the engine is alloy.... so corrosion will be annoying and also your coil packs are on top of the engine in a well like area so you want to make sure you have your coil pack cover on and its water tight...

[75coupe]

well the cam covers are alloy at least...

dont worrie bout the holes in the bonnet, iv got vented bonnet and neva had a problem with it in the year and half iv had it

[Darkness_Ryda1]

ive heard not to get your engine bay wet due to all the sensors in there. sensors get wet = damage and need replacing = hassle and waste of money.

Also i personally think that CF looks great, but if its going on a black car it looks a little odd... im getting fibreglass for my black GT-T

Cheers

if you wanna go c/f, there is also a silver coloured carbon which would look pretty cool on a black car.

just a suggestion,

g/l

(personally id go c/f)

Go the factory style CF ...duct at the rear turbo

[RusH_]

cf looks the best in my opinion...

[glenn-boy]

has any one any pics of black r34 with carbon hoods

[ZENNON]

[ZENNON]

and without cf:

[glenn-boy]

cf on black doesnt look too bad at all

[Mr. Keets]

or maybe this one. don't like the pins, I'd probably go for aero catchs

[ZENNON]

ah yeah thats a better example

ps. interesting how the wheels keep changing on that 1st one lol
