got bored tonight and had a play with photoshop while making a new avatar.

you've probably seen it all before, but wouldnt it be cool if you could get actually bonnets like this! i'd buy one in a jiffy!

its not the best photoshop job, but just looked cool with the red so i thought i'd share! :thumbsup:

you can do it in real life. you need to thermoform lexan onto your existing bonnet then somehow put up with the underbonnet bracing showing thru :thumbsup:

looks pretty funky funky monkey!

would look cooler if it was brushed like in the pic and slowly faded to clear in the middle though, not just a cut out! :P

if my car was a show car i'd get one made out of lexan or perspex or something just for shows!

There's a few show cars getting around with lexen bonnets, completely see through... some have whole bonnets, some have large areas like the picture shown up there...

not impossible, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal

if it wasnt a bit ricey, i'd probably go ahead and just do it because if i get pulled over i'm pretty much f**ked anyway.

might as well go down in style and frame the next defect notice. :)

couldn't you use the bracing for a bonnet that has a cut out bit, and just have a see through cover or something and just paint that, so it would look similiar to that?

i don't know how o explain my idea but it'd be good.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
