Carbon Bling for Jazz!?

[xKx_31]

Just wondering ... does the Jazz/Fit look nice with a carbon fibre hood?

Looks kindda ricey ... but havent really seen anyone driving Jazz/Fit with the type of hood.

What do you guys think?

Many ppl put carbon fibre hood on Jazz . One of the member, TypeG, his red colour Jazz got carbon fibre hood. (Have a look his icon) Look really COOL :thumbsup: !!! And white colour Jazz is good with carbon fibre hood.

excuse my ignorance but i was told that carbon bonnets are illeagle is this true?

[TypeG]

it is illegal but i touch wood never have problem yet

only illegal for newer cars. apparently since sometime in the 90s, the front bonnet forms part of the frontal crash structure. any changes must meet ADR or need engineer cert.

unfortunately i can't remember which year. does anyone know?

Does anyone know how much one of those hood cost?

Does those hoods come with vent?

Do you think hoods with vent are nicer then those OEM?

Not sure if I'm willing to come up with an extra hundred for a hole in the hood ..

vents intro water into the engine bay
sometime shit happens when water goes in

i like the look of CF bonnets but only on white or vivid blue

[Jus-10]

Full cf is technically not illegal. Fibreglass is illegal and thus cheap "carbon" bonnets are because they are just fibreglass with a cf overlay....

There is nothing official about cf bonn ets being illegal

[TypeG]

woooo
nice jazz man
recar inside too
mugen rims.....
BLING.....

[DavidLing]

If the hood pins just the decoration type (I mean stick on it), i don't think is illegal!!

Your jazz look really cool man!! :thumbsup: if the carbon bonnet only cost $600, that is cheap! But my jazz is black in colour, even change to carbon bonnet, can't see the different! ha ha :p

[DavidLing]

I don't know much about car, can anyone tell me what is OEM and CF?? Thanks!!

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
CF = Carbon Fibre
