hey mate, if you want black, u might as well get a carbon fibre one..

because by the time you buy a fibre glass bonnet, and then get it sprayed, u would probably paid the same as the carbon..

thats just my two cents

Just keep in mind that you are opening up a hole in your bonnet therefore rain can get in...

Carbon fibre bonnets are illegal according to other threads on here, but fibreglass if it is an approved one isn't, don't take my word for it but thats what I've read....Cost me $350 to get my fibreglass bonnet painted, but I did pick up the bonnet very cheap brand new. Don't forget bonnet locks they are recommended for all CF and FG bonnets, aerocatch all way for the locks...

If its just going to be a fibreglass with a layer of CF over the top then whats the point go fibreglass or get a full carbon fibre and expect to pay easily over $1200...

um well the engine is alloy.... so corrosion will be annoying and also your coil packs are on top of the engine in a well like area so you want to make sure you have your coil pack cover on and its water tight...

ive heard not to get your engine bay wet due to all the sensors in there. sensors get wet = damage and need replacing = hassle and waste of money.

Also i personally think that CF looks great, but if its going on a black car it looks a little odd... im getting fibreglass for my black GT-T :thumbsup:

Cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
