Seibon is about the only (sort of) readily available carbon bonnet for the Z30. There is a couple of people in Australia that make ADR approved carbon bonnets, but as yet they don't do a Z30 version
Is there something about the Seibon bonnet that you don't like, or is it just the price? With the demand for carbon bonnets for the soarer, if you can get one for under $1500 you'd be doing very well, lol

place some pictures of CF hoods up! anyone got any pics of them? Try provide as much info as possible and if they are australian made or import style hoods.
I think SC needs a picture gallery for all the aftermarket gear around make it sort of like a wiki where people can upload the pics and info.

there isnt any others! you can get a genuine vertex carbon hood and from memory bn made them by order but not anymore.and only the bn one was vented both were over the 3k mark,without shipping
if you really want a different design its easy,get a fibreglass one in your style and get the top layer done in carbon.
other than that your stuck with the seibon one,which in my oppinion is awesome.....thats why i brought it

nocandooken!
The top layer is the first that goes into the mold, hence how it becomes so flat and glossy. It COULD be done, but would involve at least $1500 in labour alone to get it even!

I have seen carbon fibre hoods offered by some no name companies in Japan, but with the dollar as it is, it would not be worth it let alone not being able to see the quality before it lands.
