Not so sure on the carbon bonnet. Its the vents. But overall the car is looking good.

I would have preferred w/o tbh but there wasn't much choice at that price point.

I did weigh the bonnets, the OEM one was actually lighter than the CF one by over a kilo. Mr honda did a good job of trimming weight of the S2K

:lol: no not really. For the lude it probably makes a decent difference, the 5g bonnet was a heavy beast. I love the look of CF tho so that's the main reason for the swap

I prefere the standard bonnet though , i'm not a fan of vents or CF ;)

Just my opinion of course :mrgreen:

Like the alloys 8-)

The standard bonnet is aluminium hence the weight, or lack of.

Nice s2000. Hardtop is nice for the winter. 8-)

Yes it is! Feels much less exposed than the cloth top :-)
