Default CF bonnets

I have a Silverstone S. I was wondering what peoples opinions are on CF bonnets.

I'm not sure if I should go OEM look or maybe J's or Mugen.

Will be looking for replica of course as I can't justify paying the huge amount for J's or Mugen.

This is my car right now.

They sort of look ok but they are a pain in the ass.Ive got a Mugen which has rain channels in it but I have to cover the engine when I wash the car.

Unless you are boosted and need the vents I would stick with the stock bonnet.

The replicas dont fit very well...so i would stay OEM unless you can fork out for a genuine Mugen or Amuse which are the best that money can buy

I got the Mugen replica hood by Seibon and the fitment leaves me with the option to be a bit less satisfied or buy a new hood...

It's also worth noting that many of the CF bonnets are heavier than an OEM bonnet anyway. Think I saw it on an old thread on here somewhere.

Thanks for all the help guys.

I'll probably post a thread in the wanted section, see if anyone has one for sale.
