Hey guys, I'm looking to do a tranny job and go the XR8 Bonnet. I know there's the fibreglass or metal (factory) option. Just after peoples opinions who have done this? I hear that the fibreglass is more of a pain cos of flex / matching to the car and painting.

Also let me know if you've got one for sale (already posted in wanted to buy section).

Cheers

I think fiberglass ones may void your insurance unless they are engineer approved.

Don't quote me on that though.

They may also be affected by the sun if the best quality materials aren't used.

I think it's safer to go with the original, although pricy you know it'll fit properly and it will last the life of the car.

I have the fibreglass bonnet it didnt void my insurance wen I got tangled with another car, the only thing you may need to do is change the struts off the bonnett to allow for the weight difference so the bonnet will sit flush!

I have an Aggressor (www.aggressiveautopanels.com). One of only two in NZ - I know cos I imported them. It is the best thing I ever did to my car to personalise it. It attracts attention like you wouldnt believe. I have people literally falling out their windows to grab a look at it. Even the ricers I 'harrass' love it too, gives the car so much street credibility.

I cannot recommend it highly enough. James Kingdom is the man to talk to. Prices have just gone up and I beleivge there is a waiting list. They are made by a boat builder, the quality is superb so IMHO worth the wait.

Hope that helps. There is a picture of mine on my profile and plenty of photos on the website.
