Default Carbon bonnet for ukdm 16v

Can anyone tell me the best place to order a Carbonfibre bonnet for my ukdm 16v!!??

Its the same shape bonnet as the jdm si's.....the one with the little hump in it!

Which companies sell good quality ones!!?
I'm ideally after one thats uv coated, and with the mounting holes and latches already pre drilled!!
Is there any problems encountered with them??

Thanks,
Dan!!

I'm guessing bonnet = hood. You want to look around for what they call the "ZC" hood. I think there is a groupbuy going on in the Best Buys forum. I would go Fiber Images, they seem to be the highest quality.

Vis makes great stuff. got one for my crx for $430. Fiber images are probably the best (they don't use fiberglass underneath and are usually the lightest) but can be a little pricey and the edges are not rolled. Personal preference.

I prefer the rolled edge. Its just thicker around the edge than the FI one. Fiber images are definetly strong though. Check out their website, the car jumps on top of it. http://www.fiberimages.com/ You'd be happy with either one.

I got a reply back from Vis!

$450 for the carbon hood....(this would easily fetch the same price, but in pounds in england....so an absolute bargain)
$200 for the battle-z front bumper,
and $350 shipping!!!
So for around £550 i've got 2 items that arnt on a uk car yet
My credit card is now red hot!!!

I cant believe how cheap bits for your cars are!!!!

Thanks for peoples help,
Dan!!

Those look cool, and if you race I guess they might be worth it. But they look hella uncomfortable, not to mention I wouldn't fit in em
