honestly, I'm not a fan of the carbon fiber bonnet, but occasionally, I find some e36's that look nice with it. Care to show us some pics of your car?

Well I'm not personally a fan of different coloured panels but I do admit some bonnets OK...
If you really love the carbon bonnet then go ahead and get 1 after all it's you that has to be happy with the car not some yob down the street that has no taste....

Carbon fiber bonnet is quite weaker to that standard material, which means that if there is an accident, instead of protecting you it would shatter. So, I think it's better to use something else rather than this.
