L33 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 would any one on here be interested in a carbon bonnet? a mate of mine who does fiberglass work by trade is now making carbon fiber bonnets. he uses a bonnet, coveres it in fiberglass to make a mould and then uses carbon fiber matting to create the carbon bonnet. he has currently done ones for a honda crx, type r and integra. is just in the planning of making one for a scooby with the bonnet scoop as well, but going to make it all one complete thing not a carbon bonnet and then bolt on a carbon scoop to prevent cracking. so i guess he could possibly even do custom scoops and vents ect. i said i would ask on here to see if he would have much interest, and considering he thinks the price of buying a carbon bonnet is a complete rip off my guess is his prices would be cheaper! im going to see some of his finished products soon to see the quality of them but it does sound interesting. if there is much interest on here i will take some pics and see if we can try and get some sort of trader thing going? cheers Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Good luck to your mate, however the interest shown now may vary later on depending on his method and the make-up of the CF bonnet(s). For example: :: Will the bonnet contain both the inner frame and outer skin of the bonnet, or is he aiming for just a CF skin with custom reinforcement? :: Will it be made purely from CF or CF/FG? :: What ply will the CF have? :: What resin system will he be using? :: Is the resin system AV-Resistant? :: Will a vacuum process be used? Lots of variables involved (each affecting cost), and each one may/may-not appeal to individuals...hence the interest will waiver until a spec list has been nailed down.
