Hi, where did your frd go to customise with vents? I bought an OEM design one, thinking of opening up vents.

thanks guys. but i was thinking about a real cf bonnet, not the cubic printing sort. i guess my quest continues... if anyone got good tip [idea] , pls let me know. [pirate][wave][drivingcar]

 

Bro, most of those "CF bonnet" u see on the roads on some jap cars( I ve seen them on Jazz, Evos) are actually laminated CF stickers only. True CF reinforced plastic are very expensive. For example the raisable CF piece of rear GT style tail spoiler on a Porsche GT3-RS alone cost about $10-15k alone ! Yes just a farking spoiler. [sweatdrop]

 

Now u know why the pegani zonda and SLR Mclaren Merc is so expensive? [laugh]

Me thinking of changing to a CF bonnet for sometime now. Not sure if this is legal or not. Is it true that if the bonnet comes with the 'skeleton' frame then it is ok? And typically, how much would that cost and where is a good place to source? rolleyes.gif

CF Bonnet is illegal.

Bro, so far quite a few Mz3 Bros from Mazdaclub have theirs (With Skeleton Frame) ones installed at a shop called JDM owned by 1 Mazda Bros and have passed the inspection without any problem nod.gifnod.gifnod.gif

 

Passed the inspection as some Mz3 are already 3 years old liao smile.gif

 

I'm not sure whether JDM does carry for your make but you may wanna try wink.gif

 

Their website is www.jdm.com.sg smile.gif
