Carbon Fibre Bonnet

[*LUDE2C*]

Ok im looking for a final touch to my lude and i have decided to go with a carbon fibre bonnet , the only prob is i cant find anyone in Australia that has them or can import them to suit a gen4 lude. If you know where i may be able to find a bonnet or importer let me know.

doesnt anyone worry about defects or their insurance not covering them in case of an accident if they have a cd hood?

sure i love cf hoods as much as the next guy but they seem like could be more trouble than they are worth

im not sure about getting insurance for them, it should be too hard seeing as its not really a performance mod, even though it makes car lighter it doesnt give extra power. But my mate had one and crashed and it got screwed lol. he was hell pissed off and just put his stock hood back on

My insurance covers me. The only thing is that they will replace it with an OEM one if it is damaged.

The problem is with CF is that at a point it breaks and splinters, can do more harm to a pedestrian than metal.

If you find a good CF bonnet.. it should crumble at certain point instead of splintering everywhere on impact. I was reading this somewhere but i forgort where.
