im sorry...but are the 4 mounting bolts, 2 on each side, designed to support much more then the weight of the bonnet itself...going to shear off and fail before the designed crumple points collapse??Originally Posted by geeang
Regardless, it is still an edge.
If you had a head-on accident with the raised bonnet, it could potentially spear straight through the windscreen and cut you in half.
on a stock bonnet it wont make a difference. and wont be any more likely then a bonnet with no washers
it only holds where you have a carbon bonnet...and even then, if you have designed weak points, its likely to shatter before it comes through the windshield. cf is not stronger then steel per volume...its only stronger per weight.
and the raised bonnet is less of an edge then an actual scoop which is legal providing that it follows guidelines (that is, if a 165mm disc is rolled up the bonnet, the point of contact with the scoop is on the lower half of the disc)
