    Default Koguchi, Dmax etc. style vented bonnet for 180sx maybe other vented type?

    Ideally i want a koguchi or dmax bonnet or one very similar style.


    If not i might take another vented bonnet possibly BN sports.

    Or if anyone knows where i can buy a good fitting replica before i get shafted on postage for a genuine one and on the yen exchange rate.

    i think brian from driftkits has one coming out in janurary!

    as for koguchi , think there is only 1 in ireland and the owner has it hidden away in a shed. dmax ones are very rare too!

    you could try epracing , but supposedly fitment isnt great, and none of it ever seems to be in stock. all that stuff comes from china

    I have heard that the epracing arent great and i want it to be a fairly clean road car so dont want the panel gaps to be miles off.

    I will take a replica once its that style and fits reasonably before i fork out the 1k plus for the genuine article as its an awful lot of money to spend on a bonnet before painting. But if i have to spend that then i suppose ill just have to grit my teeth and give the crefit card a bashing.

    Ill get onto brian now and see
