From what i know, CF hoods are illegal for street use in Australia. Period.

Well in VIC they are illegal. Have you heard the horror crash stories with people that had CF hoods?

Someone please correct me if i'm wrong but i'm almost 100% sure they are illegal in Aus.

yeh basicly after looking into carbon hoods, if you have one insurence in void due to the car manufacturer not equiping that car with that hood. putting it simply the car manufacuturer perposly built and crash tested the hood on your car now (the one it comes with) for safety to you and the other party.

yeh ive heard stories from the US about them not breaking on impact and going though the window causeing nast things to happen, and also heard stories of them shatering on impact and causing bad things to happen to people near by.

they are illegal, nothing legal about it. cops are just dumb, they didnt pick pick it when they defected me. anything that did not come on your car from factory or isnt a honda made part is illegal.

since when was the rest of my car legal anyways. they look shit hot, **** legality
