do you want real carbon fibre bonnets or fake ones like UAS sells for a grand?

Real ones will cost you about 3 grand. Fibreglass ones with a carbon fibre layer glued onto em will cost you about a grand.

Fibremotive should be able to hook you up with a fake one. for real ones you're gonna have to get em from japan I guess.

go for the halfcast one... why waste 3x the amount of money unless u wactually want it because its a little lighter.

thanks....I'll give Fibremotive a call tomorrow

and if you want it because its lighter take out your back seat or something. i couldnt justify spending 3k on something unless it was going to give me at least a decent power increase

the only real reason you'd need a real carbon fibre bonnet is for custom ducting to custom fabricated FMIC, oil coolers brake coolers etc. It also lightens the bonnet, which is only helpful in race purposes, where its somewhat risky to use a fibreglass bonnet in case of a frontal collision. pure carbon fibre crumbles whereas fibreglass cracks.

But i'm guessing you jus want it for looks go for a fibreglass one

im getting mine from UAS soon... dont like all those ducts in them tho... but its that or a GTR one... but it will mean i will have to find a GTR one in black and its too much stuffing around trying to find one.

I have been looking at getting one from UAS for a while... I like the vents, its a real tough look.. If you have seen the one On Minh's GTR, it looks damn good!
