Already searched but none answer my question on how much it is going to cost to cut the nismo RS hood vents into my hood? also if anyone has done it an estimate on time or any problems they ran into.... thanks in advance...

 

There have been a couple of members that have done this. Try a search and I am sure you'll find something worth while.

Good luck.

 

Most charge $400 ish

 

I don't really know the process on how they do it. When they cut into the hood how to they clean up the rough edges? do they have to sand primer and repaint/clear the edges?

 

you would be best off checking with a local body shop

 

Psh what would you know??


But he's right, it's around 400ish just for the cutting and then you have to paint your hood again which is around another 300-400.

Here are some older pics of my car before my V2 front end.

 

wow..that actually looks nice...lol..how is that on the engine when it rains??

 

did you use some sort of template for the cut outs ^^^ ?

T

 

wow...master photographer there....

 

It's fine when it rains, I have a couple pieces I can stick on the inside of the hood now so I don't ever have any problems when it rains and take them off when it stops. Before I had those protective shields I never had any problems anyway.

Yea there are templates for these on here.

Thank you very much. I'll try and post some new pics of how it looks with my V2 on there here soon.

 

How would I get my hands on the templates thanks...

 

+1 for templates.

 

+111 for templates

 

bump!

 

Any luck for getting the templates attached?

 

nope, does anyone know where to get the templates??????????????????????

 

I don't think the template is online anymore - but any good body shop can easily do this, and won't need a template, they could just make their own
