Opinions On Aftermarjet Bonnet

[glenn-boy]

i definately want the r tune bonnet it looks mad, the actual nismo bonnet has Rain visor attached to the air cutout duct.

i am dead against the bonnet pins they are shite!!

so are the cf bonnets illegal for street use?

[Darkness_Ryda1]

well yes and no...

You can get ADR approved carbon fibre bonnets from some distributors, sorry i cant remember who but i know that its possible.

My dream car, full stop....

is it worth the risk though?, fibreglass instead of metal holding your bonnet down at over 100Kph, um...

[NA_Goodness]

The pins look good, give it a really tough look. You can get the aero ones in black though, would suit a black paint job

[75coupe]

Aerocatches on black fibreglass bonnet, yes I have since change the silver bolts on the bonnet catches to black...

Those bonnet locks are great...

carbon fibre seems to look a lot better quality.... can it be painted???

[NA_Goodness]

Yeh it can, but why bother? If you get a fibreglass bonnet with carbon coating, then there is no point painting it cos its the same weight as ur old one. If it wsa completely carbon fibre, then you lose a lot weight. its up 2 u, but y spend so much money and then hide it?

[glenn-boy]

hmmmm well.....

what about getting just the vent and getting it moulded into into stock bonnet????

thanks for your advice guys

[75coupe]

but wait didn't you want a carbon fibre one?

Molding a vent in would be great except if your not doing it yourself it will get expensive...

[glenn-boy]

no i wasnt sure what to do hence the thread on "opinions" im not sure if i like the carbon hood but works out to be same price give or take than a fibreglass painted....

some ppl reckon they look tough, some reckon it looks shit

but my mate had a cf bonnet on his s15 and was going 140km and the bonnet flipped up and damaged his roof

i guess what im trying to say is that it also provides safety as u wont have a shattered windscreen and damaged roof

[ZENNON]

i like normal bonnets better (yes that is my opinion)

lucky he didnt total his car!

I rekon bonnet pins look alright, as long as they are on your car for the right reason and not for their looks.
