of coz CF hood lighter than the stock.. but the point for normal modifier is just cosmetic purpose.. rarely people use it as performance as the CF hood u find nowadays are mixed with other material like fibre.. not 100% pure CF.. =)

with those with the mugen kit. Did your kit come with some rubber beating to go inbetween the lip kit and the body of the car? and if it did, does it seem to show a gap or anything? like is it thick rubber?

Anything which is not from stock is illegal....no matter Full cf or not....most cf bonnet in the market is base on Fibreglass with CF cover.....Even Geniune items. Full CF bonnet are made by Dry carbon which is really pricey.....I don't believe there is any full carbon items on street in Aus atm.......

no a pure CF hood is illegal. if carbon is laid over a fiberglass hood, its not illegal. cops have driven pass me didn't pull me over. got stopped on the road for speeding, cop didn't say anything, all they said was "really nice car mate, but i'm sorry i have to give you this ticket" and i have alot of CF on my car

Mind you delivery can be very costly because my bonnet was around 1800 delivered with DHL. So what I did was grab other items within the same delivery because the delivery was cap max so you could add all you want in the same "box".

woah $1800 delivered! i think you got ripped off mate, in my opinion anyway. mine was around ~1000 cheaper also delivered. but of course mine had no vents, but still shouldn't have costed so much. i checked how much the RR hood cost and its not much more than mine.

anyways, looks great!
