JamieP Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Can anyone show me some pictures with measurements of where they fitted them? I don't really want to but over 140 the bonnet looks like it's going to flip up, lifts so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkddav3 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Something about cutting a big hole in my own bonnet would put right off that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I followed hodges guide. Stock bonnet is a bitch to get a clean cut on. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?196108-Hodge-s-(The-Kraken)-Supra-build&p=3109479&viewfull=1#post3109479 Edited April 12, 2015 by Scoot (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I had mine fitted on the silver supra. Was either supramatt or baldy cant remember but they did a great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 There has to be another solution surely. Will spoil the car in my opinion as it looks loverly. Maybe drive a bit slower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 You can buy the aerocatches in white which will look more subtle on the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazuk Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) I have noticed lift on mine it worried me at first but I just ignore it now. I think aero catches suit certain cars but on a stock bonnet /stock looking car it just does not look right . For peace of mind I replaced the whole latch/cable assembly with new Toyota parts. I did think about some sort of better safety catch maybe a clip chain, I know the bonnet would still bend being alloy but cheaper than it hitting the windscreen and roof. Check this bonnet lift at 0.35 on Edited April 12, 2015 by chazuk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I followed hodges guide too. It's really easy, just make sure you have a dremmel with decent cutting discs handy. Took me about an hour to cut the holes. All I will say is check check and check another five times before you cut. I scrapped a bonnet because I got it a bit wrong and nothing lined up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can make the car look better sometimes to be honest, this was mine after having them fitted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Get the bonnet louved like mine mate nice and suttle and pulls all the heat from under it out plus releases the pressure build up, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 We had aerocatchers fitted to dads car due to the bonnet lifting on the N/S at 80+mph. Its alot better know and would highly recommend it to anyone having the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 did my mates on his RX7 with a dremel and a carbide bit he borrowed from work never again, just take them to a body shop, they were a right pain in the arse. but, tips: Mask up the area + a good few inches incase of slippage template them up and mark in place with a sharpie (template included) drill holes around the edge of the cut and join up using a dremel and strong bit file smooth be aware that you'll often be cutting through 2-3 skins of bonnet so it will take a while, took me hours and hours but then again, I'm not a bodyshop guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
