R33 GTR N1 ducts

[Shyboy]

Hi guys 

My car is going for a re spray in couple of weeks ,glass out job ,I bought all the trims and rubbers to go with it.

i have N1 ducts in the front bumper that has a few chips on the paint and needs to come out to be painted.

my question is are they easy to remove and put back (by the painter) or am I better of buying new ones?

Thanks

Best to check if they are still available new before you let anyone take them out because if they break your stuffed

I believe they are discontinued and only reproduction ones are available.

That’s what I was worried about .

Kudos and Vega autosports , RHD Japan, still have them Online 

well I guess I will find out in a few weeks.

Genuine Nissan ones ? Made of fiberglass reinforced nylon ?

Most reproductions are fiberglass ones !

$750 each ? Or a pair either way I think I'm going to get back into and start up and injection molding business for Nissan parts !

ABS will do the job fine

Just finding quality parts to copy will be hard but if you do I'll take one of these

You should, Start taking parts off and copy them

What like I used to do ?

Like make exact reproduction parts for Skylines ?

Developed with better plastics that would never wear out ?

Like gear knobs

And discontinued wheel caps 

Vents / hand brake handles / and other high wear parts for Skylines !

Which I've still got all the development processes and molds for !

Nah what for ?
