There are a few places that do both.. Be they both in NSW but they are there..

Start with UAS and Carmate..

We are going to be stocking them soon, ill keep you posted

If its those EP racing ones, they fade really bad, im pretty sure they are just fibreglass with a carbon sticker ontop.

Adam, I am also looking for a carbon bonnet. If you end up finding someone who can supply two let me know, we might be able to get a deal or save some money on freight ect.

Thanks
Andy

Do you mean those fake carbon look stickers?

The difference between real carbon fibre and the fake carbon sticker is pretty obvious, especially under sunlight. My mate has an EP racing carbon fibre wing which used to be on kate's gr before it had the carbon boot and up to now i still want to take it off him - still smooth and shiny.

Nah It has that deep reflective look on the front of the boot like real carbon but its a weird sticker, fibreglass combo. on the inside of the boot i can see the fibreglass threads.

Its real carbon, just not a full carbon boot, part carbon, part fibreglass... I'd imagine to cut the cost?

Ill be selling my white one soon. Is Carbon fibre with a coat of white paint over the top:

Have a look at the pictures towards the bottom....

It is carbon/fiberglass matt. Have you felt it man? I thought it was pretty obvious

On kates' cf boot, the parts where the cf peeled off looks like it's just a stickers on top of fiberglass rather than a real stuffs like carbon-weaved wrapped on top of fiberglass. I could be wrong though.

I would go for whichever is lighter. I remember stef's silver fto fiberglass bonnet felt lighter than craig's cf ones.
Though for sure the fiberglass alone is weaker as it tends to flex and would shatters easily on impact as opposed to the one strengthened with a layer of carbon-weaved coating.

The top certainly feels like it flexes like carbon fiber, but the 'skeleton' underneath im certain is fibreglass... Right stef?

Whatever it is id rather a standard boot over the flimsy rattly poorly made fading piece of sh*t!

And no the skeleton is fibreglass as well as the bootlid that the carbon sticker is stuck to. Ill take a picture i aint no dumbass.

Also, Relaxbrah!

If it is a sticker, then it is a damn good one! The way it reflects sunlight looks like something only a real weaved pattern could do

I just don't like stef hahahaha.
