BillyZed Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Hi guys I'm after a new bonnet and wondered if I got a lightweight carbon fibre one it could be painted? Like colour coded as don't like the carbon look The reason I'm bringing it up is a new HR unpainted bonnet would cost more than a vented carbon one Any help would be appreciated Quote
sidewayz350z Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Yes mate you can paint a carbon bonnet, the thing is a lot of people will say why buy a carbon bonnet then paint it but each to there own lol Quote
BillyZed Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 Well it weighs less and is cheaper than a non carbon so it win win right? Quote
Dave-350 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Well it weighs less and is cheaper than a non carbon so it win win right? Might as well get a fibreglass bonnet then... 1 Quote

Just checked and the carbon ones aren't as cheap as I thought! Only one on eBay which is like £280! The rest are like £500 haha never mind Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Carbon bonnets aren't always lighter either. The stock aluminium ones are quiet light Quote
martek Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 This one might be what you are after, maybe worth sticking an offer in? Cheers Dave. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-Seibon-Carbon-Bonnet-/151091178001?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item232dbc6a11 Quote

I think I'd rather get a HR bonnet instead aha Quote
hensh65 Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 I done my HR bonnet, was 100% worth it. Cost more than i thought it would but would still have done it Quote
