I am infact in the process of what some would think is a pretty serious build for what i hope will be a pretty serious 1200 Coupe with custom "John Taylor" suspension... AP brakes and carbon rotors, Modena dog box and a Southern Motor Works built SR20 with around 450hp.

Weight to me is important (and irronic considering i am 115kg's hehe) and considering my contact in the development of these KCF bonnets so far... i can let you know that we are considering not just gaurds, boot lid and dash etc... but we are also looking into KCF doors and even the roof skin.

There is an a15 powered 1200 Coupe in the states that i am trying to get more info on that has carbon doors, boot, bonnet, dash and roof and it "apparently" is under 550kg's with original floor. we emailed the owner last Thursday and hopefully will get a reply soon.

I am going to infact weigh the following parts over the next few days and at the same time get an estimate of the KCF reproductions and should be able to get a pretty good idea of an estimated weight

and bumpers ?? i'd be interested in KCF bumpers possibly... specially on the weight side of things

hey peddler sorry this is nothing to do with carbon fibre parts but have u got pics of ur coupe being built . sounds awesome

gotta remember guys a genuine GX bonnet in steel is about $600 -700 (if you can find one)!!! !$1350 is a friggin bargain. This is a GX bonnet...
If i had a coupe.....still looking for a GX...

With all the looking around we were doing before we used Bozz's genuine GX bonnet i also found another one which i bought from a guy in Lithgow for a reasonable price. Maybe i should auction that of as well???

your not aloud to have carbon fibre on the outside of a car by law i thought not to sure i rang the rta and asked them they said fibreglass was fine

yeah like someone else said can u make it without the frame just a sheet thatd be nice for us that just use bonnett pins dont need a fram really.

hey guys the prices for these are pretty cheap considering heck a full size role of high quality vac bag costs 12 grand also at my work a carbon fiber toilet costs about 11 grand and a winch 55 grand also with the roof pedler a mate of mine made one for an rx-3 drag car in nz if you like i could ask him how he did that and joined it to the pillers also how do u bond the the 2 skins together a rubber toughened epoxy?
