C/f bonnet and bootlid for GC8- Where?
Not looking for opinions here guys, but does anyone know where to source out a GC8 c/f bonnet and bootlid? Or can point me in the right direction?
Not many places making stuff for GC8's anymore

Not looking for an opinion? Too bad, this is an internet forum, you're gonna get it.
If you want the weight saving, get an alloy bonnet. Alloy bonnets are very close to the CF equivalent in mass. If you want it for the wank factor, well your beyond help. The one Malz keeps are CF layer over fibre glass. A real CF bonnet is very expensive if you can find them. Yes, they are illegal. CF doesn't crumple unless it has pre-designed weak spots in the support frame so that it will snap in certain places in the event of a accident. Normally CF will just shatter. Though if your going to go out, you may as well do it in style with big shards of CF impaling you.

If you're serious Seibon....
They make bonnets, front lips, boot lids, doors and fenders in dry carbon Troy at Prospeed can get em in but they don't fall into the bargin bin category

they are the same weight as an alloy bonnet if not slightly heavy
i looked into the seibon boot lid but couldnt find a weight for them so unsure how much fo a weight saving they would actually be
