So what's the point of paint it?
if u want to paint it u should go for the fibre glass item as they are lower price
so is it illegal to have a cf hood without bonnet pins?
for use on NSW roads they are illegal for use as they dont crumble in a crash (as stated above), they break apart into pieces which can be quite dangerous. Pins or not they arent supposed to be on the roads. police dont seem to care too much in most cases though. Thinking about it, so what if it shatters? glass shatters as well doesnt it?

Is that bonnet open to show that its reverse or is it one of those floating ones? If the latter, its certainly not my taste.
hmm.. good point.. does anyone know for sure on this?Quote:

i thought that too, but doesn't cf hoods have a laminate or plastic cover?
Some do. The good quality carbon fibre stuff from Japan is almost all carbon fibre so it does tend to splinter when it breaks as it is a woven material.Quote:

From what I have heard they are totally illegal. But I have several friends in the Police force and they have said no matter what mods you have on your car if you don't have permits then you can get a yellow sticker. All depends on the copper.
i see.. regulations would be different in NSW compared to WA?
