Hey buddy, i recently got a Z tune bonnet from Carmate, well the bonnet looks good, But if they say its a direct bolton dont even bother lol... It will eventually fit on your car after you spend like $400 on just the fitment!!! So keep alot of spare cash aside, Like they said it would fit my GTT hinges and bonnet latch, but who knew it wasnt the truth... After i get the bonnet they say," Oh yea, you have to do some minor modifications to make it fit" And there the minor modifications costed me $400, But the bonnet is good quality and fits on well after its adjusted!! Here's a Pic of the Bonnet on my car, At that time it was being held down by a rope and cable tie's, Cauz it was a weekend and all panel beaters were closed..

So you got a GTR style bonnet to fit your GTT and you just took their word for it that they fit? LOL

GTT bonnets "should" fit.. But fiberglass doesnt always work that way.. If you are in driving range of them.. You should be able to get a test fit done first.... might be a charge for this though..

Yeah i bought a fiberglass bonnet from them for my VT commy.. no problems with fitment.. but I wouldnt be confident enough to give a definate answer.. if it's done right there shouldnt be any or just minor mods.. As long as the bonnet is to suit your car though.

Well buddy, It aint that hard when making the bonnet to fit a GTT, all they had to do was make the hook for the bonnet latch longer which is attached to the bonnet and the screws that go into the hinges were off by 1 cm to the right... So it doesnt look like it was impossible while making the bonnet to make it fit a GTT, rather than making the customer do modifications to make it fit...

And im from Melbourne and they are in NSW... As i said after all the adjustments were done it looks good and fits fine!!
