So is that illegal or non road worhty?

just asking .... not stepping on anyone's tails. Cause I was considering it as well. Either that or put a scoop (small one) in the middle to get some air flow happening to the headers. Will the air friction slow me down if i put a bonnet scoope ???

The cf bonnet is perfectly legal, as long as it has the appropriate bonnet pins to secure it. Additionally, I believe it has to be engineered also.

Guni adding a scoop won't affect your overall aerodynamics over the front of your car. Well as long as it's not like so high that it starts to block your view

have a look on the TOC forums in the UK - search for a member called Ponzer. he has a compressor that he's had resprayed in white with cf bonnet - probably the best e12 in Europe!

Not a fann of over statement. As long as it works, won't mind a small scoop.

me thinks you should get a black bonnet

In NSW they're illegal,

(In an accident)instead of crumbling on impact it shatters into sharp pieces, rather dangerous.

I don't see the point in having them on a "street car" anyway.

You're better off getting the bonnet sprayed.

They are? You've obviously checked brother. Last I heard they allowable with the bonnet pins.

It's important to note that I'd also spray the grille, and part of the eyelids black to match the bonnet lines. I doubt I'd go through with it anyway, probably a bit too rich for an everyday car.

The bonnet would go well with a set of black / polished Konig Unknowns though...
