Nic Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 If anyone fancies a Carbon Fibre bonnet (to perhaps go with their new CF wing ) I'm planning on organising a test buy of 2 CF bonnets. The company that manufactured the TRD wings for the group buy, also has moulds for 2 wing designs for the Supra, one of the wings is an Ab Flug replica (see photos), the other one I don't know what it is, as there are no photos available. I have seen quite few samples of other bonnets they have made and the quality of finish and fit is very good, so I'm planning on ordering 2 test samples so I can check the quality. I will sell these first 2 bonnets at a special discount price to anyone interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kghelmet Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 don`t they use the normal bonnet catch or do you have to use pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3xt3r Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You should always use pins with aftermarket hoods no matter what they seller tells you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Brother Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 How much do they weigh and how does that compare to an OEM bonnet, Nic? Not interested for myself, but the information may be of use to someone thinking about one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not interested for myself, but the information may be of use to someone thinking about one. I really don't know until I get the samples TBH, the stock one is relatively light already so I would *guess* they would be similar weight.

Vaughany Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 definitely interested in this, hell dont ask for 2 samples, ask for about 20 then we all get them at a great price. Tell them you need 20 free samples so you can run an accurate test, dont think they would go for it but worth a try - LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loks Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Nic, When are you going to pick these bonnets up? I'm interested in having a look at one of them for a possible future project. Plus the shipping will be slightly cheaper for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I hate you Nic!!!! Can a Mod please ban him before he single-handedly bancrupts me. If its not him its Michel Lane offering me parts when they both know i cant say no. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm going to order samples of the 2 carbon bonnets this week; Ab Flug and the mystery one! What I'll do is test fit them on my own car first so I can get an idea of the quality of fit, I will then post photos and prices in the classifieds section. If the quality is up to scratch (which having seen the other parts they do I think it will be) I will then be able to supply more to other members* *excluding Gaz as he's now on my ignore list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I hate you Nic!!!! Can a Mod please ban him before he single-handedly bancrupts me.

garetheves Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I can do it too if you really want Gaz. Yup, you and anyone else that sells parts on here, please refuse any method of payment from me for a t least a year while i get to grips with this house owning lark.
