While I like it I like the simple lines of the OEM bonnet too. I have to say though I'm not into wraps though. Can't really see the point in pretending you have carbon fibre. What colour's your car? Why not go a different colour or a matte look instead? ... or buy a carbon fibre bonnet - http://www.awcinfo.com/secureshop/category.php?cat_id=294 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84018-thoughts-on-carbon-fibre-bonnet-wrap/#findComment-1363228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think Matte colours look kind of stupid when the car is metallic, it looks good on white or black but my sunburst? Yuk! And real carbon fibre well that's just too expensive Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/84018-thoughts-on-carbon-fibre-bonnet-wrap/#findComment-1363253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 17y 4m 25d Posted 16/02/13 01:44 AM Share Posted 16/02/13 01:44 AM Either way you go dude a carbon fibre or matte (or other colour) bonnet is gonna stand out like dogs balls on an orange car mate. If you like that though then cool... Back to your question: why don't you photoshop your existing bonnet and then find the same colour xr8 and do the same, so you can decide. I decided on an original steel bulge bonnet off egay for $300 ($1800 new unsprayed) and got it repaired and resprayed for $500. It makes my F6 look more aggressive but I'm not 100% it will stay because I like the simple lines of the standard bonnet. I don't mind having a few things things though I can swap onto the car though over time if I get bored.

As you say, you can always peel it off if you change your mind.

Find it and that will show you how it looks.
