That will be the cheapest you find mate, If you do find one cheaper then you are almost guaranteed it won't hold up or fit very well.

There is a slightly damaged RA bonnet in WA on ebay for 250. So depending on freight and repairs/paint could work out the same. Plus you wont need to install bonnet pins

I bought my carbon bonnet through Bodykitkingdoms along with my carbon spoiler and the bonnet ended up costing $850.

Ash,something to consider is that it is illegal to fit a composite material bonnet to your car.It must be metal.

Don't believe that's true Darryl - you can't have non-metal structural components (other than exotics with carbon-fibre, but they're approved separately), and as bonnets, boots etc. aren't structural, FRP/fibreglass is ok...

happy to be proven wrong if anyone has the appropriate legislation handy.

:-D

In SA carbon fiber and fiber glass hoods are illegal as long as they provide the same strength as the original hood. https://www.sa.gov.au/topics/transport- ... components
