essex something or other do carbon bonnet skins, but they are expensive and a waste of money IMO!
We are going to be doing a whole range of carbon bonnets come summer including corsa ones if your willing to wait!!

price will be around 400-500 depending on style etc.
We arent sure on style, we may do badboy'd look or some vents, it really depends on what we find people want!

dont know about not cracking but ffwd do them with the vent in, but dont think they deliver cause theyve had so many get busted in the post or something. just go to a reputable place to egt one fitted.
however my bodyshop, used by Stubbsy and JAffa amongst others advises against big vent for bonnets cause over time they'll always crack, cause the bonnet wasnt really designed to accommodate them

Carbon skins are pointless. Surely the whole point in a carbon bonnet is to save weight...or is it to look 'cool' and keeping upto date with fashion?? Hmmm

if its anything like my civic one then you use the hinges from your old one, its the latch and the screws where the hinge goes on you have to look out for.
Also take a look at the weave and see if its all inline, and should be rolled over the edges to give a good finish!
Youg, what grade carbon you using?

essex racing didnt ever do full carbon bonnets, only skins which were bonded to the original bonnet and looked shite.
