Carbon Fibre Bonnet

[Mr Morse]

Has anyone fitted a CF bonnet to a black car, I'd like to take a look if anyone has pictures.

[MrADeveci]

Do you have a decent sized picture of the front of your car ?

Personally not a big fan of Carbon Fibre on a car. On a light car looks a bit Taxi-like for my taste

No offence LOC members - each to there own etc etc :D

Saying this after seeing Taz_1 swap his CF bonnet off his Silver Lex to the Black Altezza - much better effect IMO

Colour coded to the car, bang on. Would definately suit you sir on your black beast :D

How about this one mate?

It's a vented style I'm looking at but really want to get a better idea of the CF effect with the black paint.

[MrADeveci]

Let me see what I can do ............

They are the stock HID's Chris, it's the CF eyelids that makes her look evil

[LowRed]

Loving the eyes on your beasty - How olds the vehicle cos mines 2000 not HID but I got the Shi**y orange indicators on mine originally and the ones I bought are black inside but still the same indicator as shown below

And worse of all 2 days ago found half a gallon of condensation in one

[Mr Morse]

Dec 2003 - the HID's are standard on the IS300

[MrADeveci]

Mike ..... it's a bit hard to do carbon fibre on a black car ... and get the lines right .....

here is a quick go ......................

[Mr Morse]

Doesn't look quite right does it? But thanks for trying!

She's still down with Dr Horsepower until end of next week so I may ask Dave to fit one of the Prolex vented CF bonnets and post up the pics.

[MrADeveci]

It's getting the "carbon" pattern correct .............. but yeah - if you ask dave to put one on ... I'm sure he wouldn't say no ! :D

Standard!!!!!

Thats not fair

Will have to get my headlights sorted out now - thinking of opening them up, removing the orange indicators and have an idea about colour coding the inner headlights to the car! What do you reckon? HID kit on the cards to.....

As we don't all have them as STANDARD

Still loving the car though :D

[Taz_1]

Smokin' :D

Whaddya have, plain or vented?

Doesn't really matter, just want so see how it looks on the black but if I decide to go for it will go for a vented lid

[LowRed]

I do declare Taz_1 has a standard CF bonnet, but a vented bonnet defo suit your vehicle.

Trust me - Go on take the gamble and buy that bonnet right now :D

I declare that the purpose of the vented hood will be required to dissipate the heat generated that the J2Z-G(T)E will be producing

[MrADeveci]

Do you mean 2JZ-GTE?

[Mr Singh]

Here you go.

If i had Granite sky i'd install one... otherwise not for me!

No......

[OLI_EP3]

the carbon pattern you've used is too big. drop the pixel size of the checkered area to get a smaller carbon weave look.

hmm...... I did like carbon bonnets on black cars as they are not so 'in your face' but I'm thinking that a fibreglassed one with decent ventage to the same colour would look meaner, lighter and would do the job.

caarbon on a white car? now that would have to be done!

[aido]

To be honest Mike I wouldn't do the carbon bonnet on your car, or if you do decide to do it for performance reasons, maybe paint it black to match, maybe even a trick paint job which left some of the carbon exposed may be an idea, ie follow the lines of the car, but otherwise it just reminds me of the endless Ford's you see on the road with non-matching bits! Hard to describe but I was thinking at one point about doing the car like that, but with a trick paint job, ie imagine the bonnet, think where you have the two folds which come down towards the grille area from the top of the bonnet, leave the middle exposed but on the outer edge of the folds have that painted to match the car. There was a US car that imho was done perfectly, I'll try to find a pic sometime.

It looks right on Granite as it's grey - tell you what mate, you buy it, and if it doesn't look right I'll buy it off you for £50 :P

[LennyLexus]

why not get the whole kit done?

its not my cup of tea on something as classy as a lex.

i'm with aido, it would suit granite sky, or if done for performance, should have a thin coat of black paint.

[LennyLexus]

front wings too

[Fargo]

not a fan of CF personally,, you MAY get away with it on a black car....
