FLAMIN' GORGEOUS !!

does you bonnet shut fine with that one?

Mine came from the States $130 IIRC.

 

It's lovely but scarily close to the plenum :confused:

Yep it's fine. Although I can only imagine how tight it must be under there !!

thats from ebay right?

You're not wrong Mark! Do you ever get any "plenum knock" or is it happy being so close? I've been looking for one for a while and the official Nismo ones are like hen's teeth (and fooking expensive!) :(

mark have you tried fitting it the other way around? i.e. flat edge at the rear

i think it looks alot better that way round, obviously leaving the brackets where they are just turning the centre piece

Are these actually a benefit to handling (like the Nismo one) or are they more for show?

No knocking at all thank goodness. I went for it as it looked the most substantial available and I thought it would eliminate any flex there might be at the front of the car.

IIRC I tried it that way round by mistake and it wouldn't fit :confused: I seem to remember it did rub on the plenum - maybe I just have a terrible memory and I'm a crap mechanic :D !!

 

Any recommendation for a rear bar ? Any pics anyone ?

well as long it doesnt have th properties of an elastic band it definatley has a benefit. stops the front end 'spreading' and flexing
