Looking to purchase a fiberglass evo 1-3 bonnet thinking of ditching the latch and putting in bonnet bins cant bring my self to hacking up my genuine bonnet. My bonnet will not be for sale just want a replacement. located Sydney

cheers

I understand your situation! Taking to a genuine bonnet with the holesaw is daunting.

yea I cant bring myself to destroying a gen bonnet, seems like it easier to find a carbon bonnet then fibreglass these days

Not a cheap option but....so almost the same as hacking up a genuine bonnet.

Almost the price of a decent second hand alloy bonnet....

Why do you need to ditch the latch and put pins in anyway? If it's only for looks, then it seems like a fair bit of trouble and cost for what you will gain.....

Yea true but atleast a new one won't be cracked and chipped and rank like most second hand fibreglass ones would be.

 

[evo-gsr]

Thats true also.
And that shop in the link is close to Rocco's place.

Have had a body kit from there, it was pretty good quality so I'd buy again if I had to.

Looks is one reason but moving my oil cooler and the latch is kind of in the way but not really

If you do the pins properly they look really good. Get the Aerocatch lockable ones, pull out the holesaw and have a crack!

Quick latch!

I pinned mine cos at higher speed the bonnet wobbled a fair bit, Good piece of mind

 

[romeo]

i plan on getting my rad support straighten out from panel beaters looks like its been hit from underneath so ill prob just get the pins done then. Yea was looking at the aerocatch stuff before prob stick with them.

Instead of jig sawing, a drill will be easier.
