Oly Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Finally after 6months of waiting /saving up my car is going for a re-allignment/respray and fitting of my TRD carbon bonnet, stock spoiler and wingmirrors and ED bumper Now the carbon bonnet is really strong looking (as it was hella expensive) Just a wee question - does it need bonnet pins?

RobSheffield Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 YES! Get bonnet pins, bonnet in face is NO fun, trust me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 opps ive had the pin hole on my carbon TRD bonnet filled and had a set of stainless steel catches made to fit where the original bonnet clips in, will this not be enough ?

Oly Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 My trd bonnet is the real thing and has two hook style catches either side - will this not be enough? As i really don't fancy the look of the pins... (although surely better than a twisted in the face bonnet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
