dcash5 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i thought there was no difference in weight on the carbon bonnets as the OEM are aluminium anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 i thought there was no difference in weight on the carbon bonnets as the OEM are aluminium anyway? It didnt feel any lighter than the OEM bonnet but when its open its not as stable as the oem bonnet was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St3v50z Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Is it a Seibon hood? Sorry i may have missed the part when you said what brand it is. Personally i prefer the OEM versions, and without the eyelids too. I think it makes the Z look cheap, but thats just me. Sorry to hear about your lip though, it should be fixable, but wont be straight forward. I cracked the Greddy lip on my Honda Prelude and it was a right arse to fix, but looked ok in the end.

MrLizard Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 the bonnet is aluminium but the boot is steel and weighs a ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dene8 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 the bonnet is aluminium but the boot is steel and weighs a ton More like iron!!! I've lost count of the number of times the bloody thing has attempted to smash my pretty little skull in, 'cause of the spoiler creating extra weight!!

Jak Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 anyone else think the GReddy lip would look nice in black with the Carbon Bonnet? Jak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 it will need a complete respray once its fixed anyway, could work well. there is a pic of it on my car in black, suppose you could photoshop the bonnet black on my car to give you a feel for it.

rtbiscuit Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 or maybe just get it repaired and then carbon wrapped by racoon, might be cheaper and it would give a matching carbon look lip to the carbon bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
