Gtr hood vents

[TurboProto]

Dave should know the answer to this. I see his covers in and out all the time. And I am not going to modify the vents at all. I kind of like them better to be recessed not flush

Does anyone happen to know how to remove the rain gaurds from the real GTR vents? I just put a set on like a month ago but couldn't figure out how to remove the clips holding the covers in place, I just slightly bent the clips so they'd slide off and now I just duct tape them in place when it rains.

That is correct, If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me that. Id be able to buy a gtr from Japan with change left over. Its a mod that came from drift cars and honda guys copied it and so on. I first saw that mod in like early 2000 and had all my protos done like that. My red car is like that also but not as big of a gap though. I like it and no one can make me change it.

FOR EVERYONE ASKING WHY PROTO420'S HOOD LOOKS LIKE THAT....

its a mod that helps heat escape through the rear raised part of the hood...its used more in drifting and out west (from what i see)....

i have a guy with a gtr front clip, 2500 for the clip 5-600 hundred to ship it to a clai harbor.

butthe hood raised thing looks as if to help let the hot air escape , lets see where did i see this kind of thing bewfore.

thats right old school bugs did it to let air in to cool everythgin esier. kinda the same idea

Sorry to thread jack, but are you buying the front clip or advertising it?

[TurboProto]

yeah, all you need now is a GTR bumper to go with the vents.

Yea well at least I didnt pay an arm and a leg to get the real gtr stuff.
I was bidding on a real set a few weeks ago w/covers and all but I was at work when it ended. And chirs(gtxfamilia) already had this set. So we put it on. And I like the screens recessed, Its different and thats what I like.

You and I would have had a good battle my friend. I stayed up until 5 in the morning waiting for the auction to end.

They look different from the ones i see installed on Proto's car cause there not as thick..they look slimmer...or is it just me?..
