righto questions
MY GQ
you can paint it they come in the carbon color and thats it they look trik as they come i think but thats just me
MACAS MQ
depends carbon is stronger and lighter than glass at the same thickness you can go light light with glass to better the weight but you dont have any where near the same strength or ridgeity and thin glass then become flappy i know i had a super thin glass bonnet on my truck and at 100 ks it got a fit flapy was super light but no real strength
(EST)MahviaDeTyrk

Hey,
Im pretty sure when i spoke to my engineer about the bonnets (not for a 4x4 though),
the reason for them potentially not being legal is that they have not been crash tested. Reguardless of weather the bonnet is structural or not, its how it will behave in a crash.
he also pointed out that any modification that affects the engines tune at all, also needs engineering, because it also affects emissions - so a pod filter, even enclosed in a box (outside of a box - it increases noise - another defect) should be engineered.
obviously not everyone will be defected for these kind of things, but you should be aware of where you stand.
My advice if your worried about legalities - talk to a local engineer.
cheers

RIGHTO FOR ALL VIC REGOED PEOPLE
i have spoken to vic roads about the bonnets and this is what they had to say
GQ 88-99
They looked into all the requirements and ADRS and they came up with nothing in the rules and regulations
they said that vic roads wasnt going to say yes its legal or ill legal they couldnt help
they next thing they said was to talk to nissan and find out if the bonnet is part of the crumple zone
so i rang nissan aust and spoke to them and there response to me was that yes it is part of the crumple zone and GQ s were tested with a steel bonnet not carbonfiber
so all in all technicaly i gess they are illegal but this falls into the grey area for all 4wds with
non engineered bull bars
wheel spacers
more than 2 inches of lift
tyres larger than 2inches from standard NON approved tyres
and every other mod that isnt engineered
and modifcations that havent been aproved by the manufacturer of the vehicle
and as far as coliding with a pedestrian the bonnet is going to be the least of there problem the bull bar would be the first BIG problem
and the same story for gu even more so fo gu,s wich have air bags
THESE BONNETS ARE FOR COMPETION USE ONLY
make up you own mind
as for other states you will need to look into this with your own auto body in your state
