PM Tenji .. I think he gets them in c/f and fibreglas...

Don't go to Autojoy, what ever you do ...

Sometimes I see the actual vent for sale on ebay, but you would need to install and repaint the bonnet... Which can cost a bit ...

it's not actually the CF that's illegal. it's the fact that it's not complianced. fibreglass has the exact same problem, but it's just easier to pick CF because fibreglass is normally painted so you can't tell just looking at it :)

There's potential for a thread about anything on FTO Australia

It needs engineer certification to comply with the relevant ADR standard. I think its ADR400 but dont quote me on it, its on the site here somewhere if you search for it.

And unless you have a mate thats an engineer, no matter what the quality of the bonnet, there isnt anyone in the country that will do it for you.

So, if you want one, just go buy one.
