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?

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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
