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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
