they are replica border and nismo...

i saw a gts-t33 today with some knightracer parts on today parked up with some newera cars, quality looks good i have to say.

if you do want a genuine border bonnet then we can supply them, but for the price knightracer do some nice items...

Unless you can get hold of a pre-preg carbon bonnet you might as well save money and go for the Knight-racer ones over the originals, assuming the fit is good enough

Could try EP-Racing too?

If you are still undecided mate, post up some pics of the bonnets you have in mind and a pic of your car in a similar angle and i'll photoshop them on for you, hopefully that will help you?
