interested if it's still around! anyone know if it sits well with the stock struts? Need pins?

Alpha Trion From what I've read all CF bonnets (hoods) need pins on our cars. If you're going to be spending this sort of money on the hood, it's worth spending a little extra to get aerocatch fasteners.

The bonnet is available new here: http://seiboncarbon.com.au/bm-style-...82-2dr-hb.html

And (according to people who've been pinged with defect notices) no CF bonnets are street legal, you'd need to get an engineers certificate issued for your car after the modification for it to be legal. Which is a shame, because it would look very sexy in raw CF:

I read somewhere someone got a quote for painting and fitment including aerocatch for $700.

... which makes it expensive... basically $2k for a "powerdome" and a couple of vents.
