hey guys

I'm interested in buying a ztune style cf bonnet from MU secret

but i'm still uncertain of their quality and fitting

are these 100% cf or fibre glass coated with cf?

anyone here has bought one from them?

any feedback is appreciated

i know that Fab bought one...still waiting for a pic :thumbsup:

cheers

hey man im a close friend of the guys there and get parts from them regularly. in regards to service its not bad compared to others i have encountered. theyre nice and approachable, and the carbon bonnet you are after is australian made. it is fibreglass skeleton with carbon skin over the top and fibreglass ontop of that for protection. theyre pretty good :thumbsup: fitment should be pretty spot on as well coz my mate getting it (not sure if its on yet) for his 34 gtr.

like chi sed, expect to pay mega bucks for full dry carbon bonnets lol

how much are you getting it for? try and compare their prices to other places.

I havent bought anything off them yet but from what i see on their site and the price they got on their items is pretty

high..

for example i was looking at their apexi AVCR $760 im "pretty " sure you or i can get it cheaper then that

frm Japan or the US for around $500-600

BUT that was just in the electronics section maybe their other sections are cheaper :P

GL ^_^

yeah, you're spot on there

but for something that big (bonnet), it would cost an earth to get it shipped from Japan (or oversea)

nahh i dont think i would ever import a bonnet ^_^

save the money and hassle and just buy local

but at the same time have to scout around for better price and save yourself hundreds

P.s the bonnet looks pretty nice and price is good $780, i saw on carmate and it cost $1k for a similar one

Hey Andy, ive been eyeing out the same bonnet for a while. I emailed them and they assured me that the bonnet will fit straight on with no work necessary, and that it is of good quality. I am heading over to Sydney in a couple of weeks to pick up my car and was planning on visiting them and fitting it to my car before purchase to see if their claim is correct and check the quality, and if its all good post my standard bonnet home. So if your willing to hold out until then ill be your guinea pig. You never know maybe they will do us a deal if we buy two :D

hey fellas iv had my bonnet on for about 3 weeks i did have to make a few mods like dye grind the hings so the gaps between the guards and bonnet were the same and the catcher that holds the bonnet down sits to low so i had to move that higher but its worth the money took me an hour to put it on but id advive to get some bonnet pins to hold the front down cause it may sit a bit high top secret make nice bonnet pins but r pricy need to get a digital camra so i can post sum pics try doing it tomorrow :P

keep in mind carbon fibre is illegal over fibreglass yeah I don't know if it will really matter considering most of our cars are illegal just keep it in mind ..

And flush bonnet locks look and perform heaps better than the old fashion ones, only $110 delivered..

yea it could move to the right a few more mm just it sits a bit high so i need sum bonnet pins to level it with the guards and ones there on it will be closer to the guards and fit nicly

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
