Dont think so. These are a copy of the vents in the carmate bonnet put into a stock bonnet. Will also be building in a single vent in the middle (instead of the 2 the fibreglass version has.

Thats so Wow!
I like what you did with the securing of the indicator with the transparent tubes on the screws Dwayne... But by the looks of it, you drilled into the bar didn't you?

Remember this is the fibreglass Ts factory ive got. Thats how the stock indicators are attached as well. The clear tubes are just chopped up BIC pens. Perfect for the job.

a bit of a blast from the past for you Dwayne..
was trying to search through your old thread for how much the dashboard centre charges to do the CF pattern on the headlights.. do you remember?

Not exactly. Maybe $150 because of the ridges. Best to send them a piccy and ask. Prices would probably have changed anyway.
