i'm considering getting one.
Can you just explain it to me, do you paint them or are they all the same black colour?
And if so what would it look like with my red car?
i know carbon fibre is lighter but that's about it aha

Re: carbon fibre bonnet
If you are thinking about painting a composite material bonnet, might as well go for fiber glass. Carbon fiber is really really, really, ridiculously good looking to paint.

Re: carbon fibre bonnet
If your gonna paint it, get fiberglass, its lighter anyway
.. but yeah if you want the carbon fibre look then obviously you know which one to get.
