Bonnet Modification
Here in Australia I have a Ford XR8 ute for my company car, the reason I got it was for the hump in the bonnet. I just love it, so I decided to put one in my 370GT.
I have some pics of the ute showing the factory hump in my ute & pics of the mod.

Very nice, but reminds me of a Maxima now.
Side markers look nifty too.

Now all you need is a 5.0 Liter engine in there.
Good joob man, looks good.
But why are you putting a Nissan badge in your INFINITI?

Glad there was pics because I was like, "wtf is a Ford XR8 and what's a bonnet". Nice work though. I like it.

I have a friend who installed those GTR hood vents on his 370Z. I was thinking of doing the same to my G but it just didnt flow well with the hoods lines. I was think thinking it would work well with your hood.

Pretty sure it came that way. He said his 370GT.
Notice how his calipers say NISSAN and not INFINITI. That and it's RHD.
