R33 Carbon Fiber Bonnet.

[Spunky Munky]

Hey all,

The time has come for me to get a carbon fibre bonnet for my R33. Yet there remains two questions - 1) should I go full carbon fiber or the fiberglass one so that it matches my car's paint, 2) which one - see pics as I've narrowed it down to two options (the rest are gay as too many vents etc)...

Choice 1: Top Secret "T2" style - http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...N&p_id=9772

Choice 2: R2 Nismo style - http://www.carmate.com/product_details.php...N&p_id=9742

Please let me know peoples.

Many thanks,

Kevin

Top Secret T2 IMO. Very nice looking bonnet

my 2c

In general, I would go for the 1st option out of the two. You would need to post a picture up of your car though. The 2nd option might look better depending on the style your car's got.

[NA_Goodness]

I'd go the Top Secret style, because the Z-Tune is reasonably common.

Your car is black, isnt it? Get the carbon fibre, sets it off nicely

Kevin go full carbon fibre!

..And if it was me, i wouldnt choose neither of the two above.

How about something like this?

(check under the heading bonnets and its the 1st one)

But then again its ur car and ur decision on what u like

I prefer the z-tine fins on an R33.

Also the 400R centre 'square' is a great shape to work with on a 33. The other ones just don't stand out enough IMO.

Sorry for reverting to the common styles!!! I dunno...follow your heart?

He Sis.,

You are recommending the bonnet below? I wouldn't have thought you would have chosen something more simpler unless I picked the wrong one...?

Thanks for your opinion - but I think it's too fancy with too many vents for my liking...

Hey mate, yeah the R2 Z Tune and the Top Secret T2 style is my pics - I'm leaning more towards the T2 at the moment but the R2 is nice as too... I will have to make up my mind as I'm ready to purchase one next month... have already made contact with some sellers on here...

Yeah, I was going to raise the same question - how bad is Carbon bonnets (with vents) and rain water... is it that bad? Which bonnets do not get affected by rain water, do you think?

To all: thanks for your opinions mate... if it's ok, can you please post up some pics with carbon bonnets on R33's?

Thanks....

I say go full carbon fibre. I had this full carbon bonnet on my 33.

Never had any trouble with water getting into the engine bay and i use to drive it all the time in the rain.

It had a small lip just before the vents to stop water from getting into my engine bay and i checked many times after a drive to find a dry egine bay.

If you want more pics pm me.

I think T2 have too many holes/vents!! go for Z-tune one will look nicer ..

but all up to u

cheers

A plain carbon fibre bonnet looks best, with no tacky vents

[SiR_RB]

couldnt be happier with the engine bay temp, especialy during summer or after a hard drive
