BeefyZ Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Just asking if anyone on the forum has had a bonnet scoop fitted to their original bonnets rather than changing the bonnet completely? Might be just me who thinks the Zed's looks ace with all the sharp edges to the body 😂 I just like the more aggressive look 😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited September 6, 2015 by BeefyZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Terrible. Each to their own I guess. Yeah, looks rubbish, doesn't suit the 350Z at all Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefyZ Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Fair enough haha! I knew a lot of people might not like the idea because ive hardly seen anyone in the UK with cut outs or edges on the bonnet 😂 Just a question to see if there's anyone out there 😊 I like Evo's you see and all the edges just make it look boss! In my opinion anyway 👠Bri Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well the 350z is about as far away from an Evo as you can get. Get some trackies and traineees and get an Evo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefyZ Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Haha! I know yeah I wouldn't mind an Evo and 350z wishful thinking and I would never trade my Zed in love her to much 😂 Aye nothing wrong with trackies whilst working or mowing the lawn 😉 I get where your coming from I had a nob chav in an evo behind me the other week pulling far back then giving it some right up my arse I was just like "really mate honestly just f* off and if you want to ruin your car then that's fine with me but definitely not ruining mine" 😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! 😂 well what about vents in the bonnet? What do you think to that? To be honest with you guys the main thing putting me off the idea is all that water getting into the engine bay would devastate me 😂 but on a performance note it's a good way to keep your engine cool 😊👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefyZ Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yeah I know true that but in all fairness if I could prevent water from getting to the engine Id probably do it but then it's defeating the object...hummm! Stuff it im going to go with a spoiler and new front bumper 😂 problem solved Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogman Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Buster has just added some cut-out vents onto his motor. Looks real tidy IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav525 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Looks really good if you do it right . If you want a bonnet scoop then get a carbon bonnet that already has the scoop in there. More expensive of course, but do it right the first time. I'm currently saving up for one after seeing Vlad's build thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day if you wake up and think "hmm I really feel like giving that Rav guy my bonnet today and taking is standard oem one", give me a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The only two questions you need to ask yourself are these: 1. Do I have a top mounted intercooler? 2. Do I care if people think my car looks awful? If you can answer yes to the first one, then congrats, you can get a scoop! If you answer no to the first but yes to the second, then congrats, you can also get a scoop! If, however, you answer no to both, then a scoop is not for you I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeefyZ Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Haha! Cheers guys and I haven't got a top mounted inter cooler however I do like the look of them 😂 Unfortunately I have a black car and to be honest I think carbon bonnet maybe a risk because I don't think it will suit it 🙈😱 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Bonnet vents = oxidation on your engine block, not nice to look at. And that's the least annoying problem. If it's a daily driver I would say avoid unless you make them non functional with trays underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thought about it then bought a sibon bonet My reason was to let heat escape away from blower and manifold etc Did it lower temps don't think so Looks nice tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefyZ Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Yeah someone has just said that it hasn't really altered the temperature 😂 so my bad for saying that I would have thought it would have but I'm listening and learning 😂👠Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 rav525, I have the bonnet that you have shown in pics, in Carbon Fibre. I had it shipped from California last year . Unavailable in the UK. Is yours fibre glass resin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I ran this scoop for over 3 years until recent bonnet change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
