got bored tonight and had a play with photoshop while making a new avatar.

you've probably seen it all before, but wouldnt it be cool if you could get actually bonnets like this! i'd buy one in a jiffy!

its not the best photoshop job, but just looked cool with the red so i thought i'd share! :thumbsup:

you can do it in real life. you need to thermoform lexan onto your existing bonnet then somehow put up with the underbonnet bracing showing thru :thumbsup:

looks pretty funky funky monkey!

would look cooler if it was brushed like in the pic and slowly faded to clear in the middle though, not just a cut out! :P

if my car was a show car i'd get one made out of lexan or perspex or something just for shows!

There's a few show cars getting around with lexen bonnets, completely see through... some have whole bonnets, some have large areas like the picture shown up there...

not impossible, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal

if it wasnt a bit ricey, i'd probably go ahead and just do it because if i get pulled over i'm pretty much f**ked anyway.

might as well go down in style and frame the next defect notice. :)

couldn't you use the bracing for a bonnet that has a cut out bit, and just have a see through cover or something and just paint that, so it would look similiar to that?

i don't know how o explain my idea but it'd be good.

    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
    • I think even the "commercial" capacity ones that you would hire from supermarkets etc wouldn't have the capacity to do all that much in one go. I will go through half a dozen tanks of solution and dumps/rinses of the waste tank for one little 2 seat sofa. Or similar for one 6 footish rug. That's the price you pay for something small that only takes up a bit of cupboard space, instead of something that takes up the entire laundry cupboard or half the shed.
    • Someone needs to copy it, improve it aesthetically, make it DBW ready from day 0 and send it to the motherland Chynah for my relatives to cast it and mass produce it 馃槄
    • U read my mind, going to machine it off or get a high temp vinyl etc stick on plate made up. There鈥檚 so many other ways they could have made it look cool. Have the option anyway as I need to cut off the throttle body flange and get the dbw flange welded on.
