Nope...don't like them!


We don't have a heat problem anyway so if it's just about appearances i'd want something nicer than that.

If they were real bonnet louvers cut from our bonnets maybe, but not if they are made from fiberglass and held in place by putty etc.

Visually I dont mind them, but on a black car they wouldnt be very noticable so they would need to be more for function than looks on my car.

Yeah, they do vent. Dunno construction.

saw them on the web - if anyone wants the contact, could look it up.

Mind you, if they had Nismo on them they'd be an immediate hit.

FROSTY.

Not a big fan of them myself, no.

If I was going to vent my bonnet, I'd buy a replacement one that was vented.

I'd prefer to have some vents up-front, near the radiator, as well.

All you need now is some stickers, NOS and you can be in the next Fast and Furious movie.

If you didn't guess I'm not a fan of it.

What about these vents...

Ignore the stickers and apologies for the silver zed.

mchapman - I like those vents. Are they a part of the C-West kit, or separate?

Oh, and if you want a similar bonnet to that, Unique Auto Sports sells something similar (but with a NACA duct):

No it isnt part of the C-West kit. It says SEBON on it, wonder if thats the company.

Visually I dont think that UAS bonnet complements the 350z's nose. See how the SEBON one has the vents further back which dont interfere with the cars nose. I think the SEBON one would look good on a less modified Zed as well.
