I found another cover that was in much better condition.

I'll still brush this old one though, eventually...

so are gtr ones the same or are they alloy? havent found to much info on them

They are alloy. They are the same panels, only with no wood grain skin.

Anyone got a clear photo of how the brushed panel looks?

Have a look at my build too, it looks exactly the same.

here's a few i have saved off

I have the NOS one with the exh warning lights saved off under a kpgc110 directory, but i havn't cross checked the part number on the box to verify it though.. It looks factory and brushed just may not be from a GT-R

Thanks guys. Helps a lot with my shopping list;)

Your wood grain panel is brushed alloy underneath. Take a look at it first before you buy one

Yeah I read about how to do it in this thread. Was just curious is the alloy underneath comes out as the brushed alloy or you have to treat it. Just building the knowledge base for future reference

Yep, it's exactly the same finish and all, it's just been coated in wood grain. The only issue in a lot of cases is corrosion on the alloy. This is mine after I stripped it with nothing else done.

i know later model models had exhaust warning but not for gtr,
