How To Protect The Engine From Bullets?

.......... First, you get rid of the bonnet....

........... Then you go to the Army and ask them for some Kevlar.......

........... Then you mould them and make it into a bonnet..........

............ Then you fit it on................... Voila!

Many Thanks to Jetspeed Melbourne for getting me the bonnet, they having a special on bonnets now if you are interested!

Why dont people paint CF bonnets? Is it the wank factor? I'd love to have the weight drop, but not the ugly black bonnet.

True true. Even normal caliiber pistols with teflon coated bullets have a high chance of penetrating the kevlar. The tactical combat vests worn by the US infantry actually have hardened steel plates in them.

i guess the truth in this threads title - is that its "lighter"than OEM , so this gives the car a chance to outrun bullets ? OR atleast when the bullets hit they are travelling minus the reverse speed of the car ? (1000fps to 985 fps makes a difference lol)

Hmmm, for 5kg of weight reduction, just take out 7L of petrol from your tank. :)

omg thats insane. i cant believe u changed ur bonnet!
31-07-2007, 09:31 PM

erm isnt CF and Kevlar illegal for street use?

If you hit a ped, they will get seriously hurt since CF/Kev doesnt bend and absorb like metal, and totally ruins the crumple zone system at the front.

edit; yeh they are illegal

^^ I don't know is it that simple as a blanket rule? I thought the BMW M3 CSL had a factory carbon fibre bonnet. Maybe it is ok if it is engineered and crash tested, etc. but don't think it is a blanket rule.

It's a grey area. CF bonnets have to be ADR approved.

Not worth the hassle you'll most likely get from cops.
01-08-2007, 10:41 AM
EuroDude

True, even if it was ADR approved, every Cop and his dog will pull you over and check its legit.

And if you spray paint the CF bonnet, its a risk because if u hit someone and they find out its not metal or ADR approved, you are liable and it will void ur insurance claim.

Paint it FTW..
01-08-2007, 02:24 PM
UNLS1

thats an easy way to make a good looking car look shocking!
If u can paint it then do it and it will be great.

Personaly dont see the advantage of a bonnet like that, even if its 7kgs. I doubt it would dent track or 1/4 times by much at all.

If it was a fully lightend race car than yes, but on a streetable euro ahh NO!

each to their own i suppose.

That looks awful. Look at the contrast between the front of the car and the back of it, its like the car is in two minds, absolutely no continuity in design theme, one of the worst designs Ive EVER seen.

Imagine a tigers head planted onto the body of a mule. Thats what this car reminds me of.
05-09-2007, 02:17 AM

Oh I also think the kevlar bonnet and especially the LV interior are awful awful looking and tacky as hell.

Stop ruining the Accord Euro with these ridiculous mods.

yeah not feelin the poo brown with the blue.

spray it or remove it.

It looks like a family car that had a car crash and has a semi preped bonnet ready to be sprayed.
