Yea, the skylines come over here as deportee's. Their just sedans most of the time.
We do have a few GTR's though. Asafa Powell (fastest man in the world - 100m) has a GTR32 setting up at my garage. It'll soon be ready for the road. His friend 'Bolt' had a GTR32 as well until last week returning from the tracks (did a 10.7) he was in the toll booth line, and a drunk driver didn't stop and plowed right into the back of the car and about 5 others. It's considered written off, but I'm sure someone will fix it.

I've only ever seen one GTR34, but people claim there are more.

Don't some bonnet's come a little short to allow air in the front as well?
I mean, there has to be some explanation. Or is Veilside just not all it's cooked up to be? Lol.

lfitment on the Veilside hoods is 50/50, like many aftermarket hoods. We've had some that fit great, no issues...others were poor fitment. Similar to peoples experience with other brands.
In my experience the best fitting hoods are unfortunately the most expensive. I don't know if they spend more time making the mold and change the mold frequently to avoid problems, or if they simply take more care because they are charging more. But C West, INGS, Top Secret are among the best fitting ones that I've seen, and each one fit the same every time

By the way, the LX Fender on the left is pretty chipped up on the edge above the tire. I broke off a piece of the inner lip already with a steep driveway. I'm pissed, but it was bound to happen. The fenders are cool, but the amount of work it took to prepare them and the fact that any fender rub is going to be too much for them (they're super thin) - even though they are the 'plastic aero whatever' INGS claim is similar to plastic. It's a good buy for a maybe a show car, but daily driver dropped, you might want to reconsider.

From the pics, it does look that way. I was lookin at that myself, but I've been to the alignment stand and they tell me I have a negative 1 degree on both sides. So, I guess it's just the lens of the iphone making it appear that way.
