what r pins used for? :)
The bonnet pins are used to hold both sides of the bonnet to the car giving it more strength than just having the bonnet latch holding it down and also making it safer too.
There like the ones you see on bonnets of race cars.

They are price at around $700-$800 and I know a few places in Melbourne which stock them. However I've got a mate whose been defected by the coppers because apparently you are not allowed to have air vents on your CF hood facing the driver.Quote:

make sure u dont get one that fades..
and if you are really after quality make sure its a full carbon fibre bonnet.,. non of this fibre galss with a layer of carbon...
you want the frame (structure) to be made of carbon fibre..
something about if ur engine caught on fire and coming out of the vents because its facing the driver u could get hurt :S... so if it was facing the other way it would make everything honkydory.. or something like that someone once told me was the cops excuse..
wtf this thread is like 2 years old
