i just ordered a z tune carbon fiber bonnet for my r34 gtt it cost me 900 plus delivery from mu secret so ill get back to u on how it fits

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.

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?

Thanks mate... yeah, I wanted a vented one... will just have to look around more then... no worries... thanks.

[Spunky Munky]

well, thought I'll update everyone... ended up not getting the CF bonnet - as a mate had one, chucked it on for looks and on a black R33 and doesnt look that nice so I gave it up... but thanks all.

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

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.

[cruzin33]

I got a E shape vent from ebay that im moulding on to my bonnet, looks the same as a cf bonnet vent but a lot safer and its not a defect if done right

[cruzin33]

when its done right it will look like this

[Spunky Munky]

Thanks fellas, I think I'll leave the bonnet stock... looks tougher.. IMO, either go full carbon or not at all.

But thanks all.
