So basically let me get this right... They are a poofteenth lighter, they
catch alight easily, they split into dangerous pieces if you have a crash
and they cost 20 times the price of a normal bonnet?
.... Ummm ok I'll order one!!! ?? NOT
And actually they weigh more after you cover them in stickers, huge scoops
and paint them with $800 a litre paint.

You have to be careful of the cheap versions - the resin they use can
actually be quite flammable (which is not helped by the fact that carbon
fibre itself will burn at high temp). A friend of mine had an original
N1 GTR R32, which mind you was so quick it was obscene, and it had a
chinese made carbon fibre bonnet when he bought it. He sourced an
original bonnet and replaced it, and the CF bonnet was sold to a young
bloke with a GTS-T. The youngster had a slight underbonnet fire one
night which turned into an inferno due to the bonnet. Spectators reckon
the fire was quite small and no-one lifted the bonnet therefore
containing it until an extinguisher could be found, but once the flames
licked the bonnet it was BREAK OUT THE GUITAR SLIM WE HAVE A CAMPFIRE.

I reckon they may be OK on a race car where every kg counts, but on a
510 they do nothing for performance. Weight saving is minimal, rice
factor enormous.
