i havnt got a carbon hood mainly cause im pretty sure they're illegal due to them not crumpeling, instead they shatter and that worries me about insurance being void, there is a place in queensland www.blitsbodykits.com.au, fibreglass kits but apparently they are the only guys in aus that make road legal fibreglass hoods worth checking out if your interested

I always thought black cars looked a bit odd with CF bonnets.. You get that sexy black effect, then a asshat grey bonnet. :P

I always wanted to get an OEM style CF bonnet, but paint it the colour of the car. Less in-your-face-look-at-me kinda.

And i also had the plan of re-clearing it with a tinted clear so it pretty much looks like the factory colour, but when your up close you can see a hint of CF weave ;)

Nice.... this is wht I wanted to get too... I agree, black cars look odd ith full CF hoods... but if you paint them, they look mad... well, I've rang around a few places... cheapest I could find was $700 - that's pretty expensive... nearly $1K for a hood... I don't know, might not proceed..

Anyone got a second-hand one they wanna sell? :banana:

They look good if you get the right one but i got myn to keep the engine temp down and it worked :D

Maybe you should just mould a vent on to a stock bonnet

Well, I guess depends on which CF bonnet.

No, molding a vent on the original bonnet is like a commodore with the 3M-double sided tape ones. yuk. :(

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
