yaf28f Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I bought a FTO bonnet off Carmate, price was ok, quality was ok, latch was alittle off but nothing too major to fix. Got it sent to Canberra with not much problem. but as everyone else has said, customer service could be much better. Wished their Carbon fibre bonnets were lighter and legal.

KID18T Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 dude just import a bonnet from japan. they are not that bad and I've heard good feedback about fitment etc. why be cheap on the product when your going to have to make up for the cost of bloody fitting it to your car. a sponsor on ns.com quoted me $1300AUD for a D-max carbon fibre vented bonnet. So probably the fibreglass ones would be cheaper. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171798-carmate-bonnets/#findComment-3167797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr1ft3r Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 i got a carbon fibre bonnet for a series 2 r33 from carmate and its great. fits near perfect, latch is spot on. no complaints at all from me, my cars gun metal grey, so carbon fibre doesnt stand out much at all on my car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/171798-carmate-bonnets/#findComment-3167879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
