slight lighter,
just buy what u can afford.

who cares.

integra black bonnet if you can find em, ranges from 150-250 (just cause theyre black)
to respray a bonnet would cost roughly the same im guessing.

Interesting, thanks for the info. Will now look into both options.

hey man. u could cover ur bonnet with cf looking vinyl. search on ebay for it

i reckon leave it standard.. dc's look abit funny with or without the cf/black look.. just the way the bonnet is i guess

Yeah, I think I've followed the trend over at team-integra (american counterpart) where everyone has a black or cf bonnet.

Will still look into it and if it is the right price will consider a purchase.

In regards to cf vinyl, I'm quite lazy about cutting it into shape and all and it might look really obvious and crap :P
Heres an example I might look into purchasing if I get off my ass

nah dude there is like pre cut ones by some company from memory.. because i wanted to buy some yellow tint to make my headlights look yellow and i was looking through the store. try international sellers or something..

Also black bonnets on dc's do look weird because they end so short of the lights :\

lol

most around sydney are sprayed black standard bonnets..

but you do get the occasional CF hood sprayed black to..

dont see much fibreglass ones sprayed black..

if ur just after the look.. spray ur standard bonnet black.

Lol thats cause most in sydney have been in front enders and could only find a black hood to replace it lol

if you do that.
i will try and get wynode to ban you hahaha.
so dodgy

omg,thats a new level of dodgyness.rice is evolving

most black bonnets here are just standard black bonnets,most australians (notice i say most,there are some hardcore racers out there) buy the carbon bonnets more for the look,rather than the 5-10 kg or so weight saving,so the last thing they wanna do is paint over it for stealthiness.im over the black bonnet look personally

for ultimate weight reduction go for runs and lose 15kg on the driver ^_^

As others has said... if you spray it... it will cost the same as getting one that's already black... and its better getting one thats already black so you have 2 hoods

so you can keep swapping...

That is probably the cheapest option you have.... try the local wreckers near you... good luck and post up pics when you have it
