I am looking to buy a carbon fibre bonnet for my yellow Ek9, any suggestion where to get a hold of one? I am looking at a spoon one which is coming in at £750 :nono:
 
Hi Just wanted to say all Carbon Bonnets are not equal I have had 3 different makes so far and the quality and fit eg gaps dont sit right also the weave and some bubbles in the lacquer. Some of them fade which is something to do with the quality of lacquer used.

Seibon seems to me to be in a different class fits great, looks great and lasts. Only my opinion and experience also if you shop around they are often not that much more. Pro Comp was very good too but not sure they are still doing them.
 
I will give you 1 suggestion:

I had a cheap 450 $ carbon bonnet. That thing was heavy man! mostly they have a lot. It was lighter than the oem, but it was HEAVY compared to JDM carbon bonnets. My JDM carbon bonnet, even the wind moves it lol, i think it is a 5 pound one lol

In bonnets, like everything in life,buy cheap.... get lower quality stuff.
 
Carbon bonnets do not fit like oem bonnets. Most require a little fiddling to fit perfect. However, there are a lucky few that do get ones that fit pretty well once installed. Seibon are doing an offer at the moment. Check out the for sale threads
