I think standard looks better on a red car.

not always.
i've seen a couple on FTOOC (red/ carbon bonnet).. cool enough

If going carbon then you need other carbon parts - carbon bonnet on its own without other styling mods is a little naff. A nice vented (painted) bonnet would look better similar to the Hostile Performance one I posted on your other thread.

I suppose it's down to personal preference but I've never gotten the fascination with CF :smt017

CF is nice if its the real deal. But you see so many people that just spray their bonnet black it takes from the whole idea behind it. Plus CF would help you for the quarter mile too next year! Dont know what the cost difference would be though between them.

The coolist thing Iv seen is carbon bonnet sprayied the colour of the car, but a section left unpainted but syill laquered, eg. On the fto the raised middle bit left. Unpainted, same on the celica.....

Looks seriously cool, cos its like you have the bonnet not for show its actually to reduce weight

That was my old GS.... I got the bonnet from Ricerocket at the time,think I paid about 400 sterling for it at the time...

I like the carbon look - in fact I even like them with the stupid vents in them..

by **d_dan** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 12:44 pm

Dose anyone have a few pics of cf bonnets for the FTO?

The only one I have seen is the evo rep onew that I don't like

by **miss-enzo** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 6:39 pm

i found a company in scotland that stock the bonnet in the link but its 579 pound before p&p

must check ricerocket now!

I've recently bought Carbon Fibre parts for the Zed from EP Racing - good quality stuff - they're currently selling a CF vented bonnet on flea bay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mitsubishi-FTO-EV ... dZViewItem

by **miss-enzo** » Wed Jan 30, 2008 8:09 pm

ya i dont like vents!

ricerocket sells the one i want but wont have any till some time in march :shock:

can get it from scotland but its 150pound more than rice!!

by **Dave** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 11:40 am

yeah i had about a six week waiting list, i'd personally hold out for the one from Rice, but I know you're in a rush for one now... is it worth 150 more to get your car back on the road weeks earlier?? (probably! :wink:

)

by **miss-enzo** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 8:08 pm

found same one as Rice has for only a tenner more so i think im gonna go ahead with that one!
