New CF bonnet installed...

[jugbugz]

Ok, I got these replicas that were made from Taiwan, they're pretty good for the money you pay, but can't compare to what you can get in the US

These came up weighing 5kgs lighter than my stock bonnet. Weight of my CF bonnet is 9.8kgs...

I can't figure out if it looks better with the Red Honda badge or without...

lookin good mate, keep the 'H'

 

[sr20ket]

Nice! I like it without the H badge

Thats what I thought when I put it on...

But my gf likes it better with the RED badge...

How much did u pay for it and what site did u order it from I am intrested in getting one since u said it was affordable

 

[jugbugz]

the one: I got it from a firm who imports stuff from taiwan. Taiwan are known for making good quality replicas. I have no idea of the brand at all. Just know it's a CF bonnet..

oh dont worry there is A LOT of china/taiwan carbon hoods in usa too, the good ones cost about $450 usd with the cheaper ones being about 300.

if you want to be different keep the emblem, but i think it looks A LOT better without it

bump for price and where you bought it from.

heard some bad reviews about the copies that the fitment isnt always that good? you have any problems?

Replicas never fit that good and need a lot of adjustments by losening the latches. As far as the surface smoothness, it is very good. The CF weaving is just ok, just some minor shifts but not noticable...

I got it from some random Asian auto shop that happended to stock one. Was just lucky I guess. If you were to ask me would I pay big $$$ for a SPOON one over this then I would say 20% chance, because I can get 2 of these for the same price as 1 SPOON CF bonnet.
Price was $660AUD


Blinx: I also thought that it looked better without the badge, and it looked a lot cleaner... Is there any safe way to remove the badge? I tried taking it off right after I installed it because I thought, man that doensn't look good.

BUMP stands for Bringing Up My Post. Which is perfectly acceptable.


Nice hood. I removed my emblem for a while before putting it back on, as I felt that the car has lost a bit of its identity without the red H.
