i dont think the UAS is similar? their one looks like two scoops one in front of the other stick up and out of the bonnet as opposed to sitting flush /deep inside as above. I do prefer the look of the one posted tho. But yeh not many bonnet alternatives here in aus :/

Matthew, When Jean asked for "this style" I figured he meant vented CF hence the word "similar". I do agree though, the one pictured above looks sweet!!

how come you see it so often? is it just because cops turn a blind eye to it? has anyone ever heard of getting defected for this? or carbon fibre bonnets? particulary ones that are painted factory colour..

i would try and have the vents if you have any, to have a sort of scoop under them so that any liquid wil not just fly up to your windsheild If you look under a WRX scoop, theres a intercooler. Nothing getting through there. Im sure you cant get oil through a GTIR scoop either. The late EVO vents have a sort of mesh through them which i assumes blocks oil spirting onto the window.
Maybe go to your transport authority and ask them what will be approved. As for qld, i know the cops will get you for an awesome looking and VERY functional carbon vented bonnet

yeah they seem to be pretty bad up here. maybe because theres not much to do...
this is the look i would be going for if i were to go down that path... im sure it would attract too much of the wrong attention though. haha then again Ben if anyone is attracting attention, its going to be your sled!
