I am struggling to find one (as mine is bent, and i rather buy fibre than a Factory one)
Hayden from Alpine Offroad can make them, but the demand has to be there to recover the cost of production etc.
So, Who Else is keen???

(Not really sporty, just trying to shave a few Kg's from the front of the Beast.)

I can vouch for Hayden's bonnets for the GQ. Look really good and very light. Easily taken of by 1 person, only real problem is that they are so light that the wind almost blows them out of your hands.
Another advantage is that he has them held down with 4 bonnet pins, making it easy to remove the bonnet completely.

So im guessing here but these bonnets are only just a skin right not with all the bracing under them?
In Qld you will get defected for a glass bonnet if it is not as strong or stronger than stock.

The one he is running on his GQ is basically a skin with a small amount of bracing. It will twist and flex in your hands. He is planning on redesigning them with more bracing to make them stronger.
