Tommyd16 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Are TRD style bonnets ok in the rain on TTs? Would they let a lot of water in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I'd say it shouldn't let that much in really plenty cars have them mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mine does let in a bit mate, but it's not too bad. Doesn't get on any electrics or anything. Can make any polished bits difficult to keep clean during the winter but it's fine during the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider1980 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You should be fine mate, just make sure it has the cover under the vents also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Mine has rain guards on it. They look like they came with the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safcdixon Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I removed mine as it was the cause of my alternator seizing a few years back, and everything under there get minging, i would imagine rain guards would fix these problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My vents are not the same, but my N/A ran for months getting wet. Worst that happened was the wire to my sub rotted away. That said i will be putting some kind of cover on them now the tt lump is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I thought genuine TRD bonnets had the rain guards that stop the rain issues? I know a Varis bonnet i have has the bolt holes for one, pity i didn't get it with the bonnet though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Genuine ones do, yes. Most of the copies don't though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My battery tray and filler panel under the air intake are f**ked from a TRD bonnet letting in water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Can you get the rain guards seperate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I dont think TRD make them anymore, i could get the Varis one for mine but it was stupid money. If its a copy you could always make one up or ask someone to make one up like this guy did: http://g35driver.com/forums/g-spot/380511-diy-rain-guards-ts-hood.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Mine has rain guards, zero rain gets in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyd16 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Does still let air flow though or are the vents purely for show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
