Ichi-go,
Thanks. I have been toying with the idea of a CF boot for sometime but was aprehensive about the workmanship of these aftermarket makers.
My CF bonnet is from jap maker Varis and it is actually my second purchase.
My first CF bonnet was purchased from jap maker Origin. The double layer bonnet with vents next to the winscreen looked really good from web pics, so I did the first to order even before they released their price list for it on S15. Unfortunately, the waved surface put me off so badly and I had to buy another from a more reputable maker. The Origin hood was later sold off to another S15.
With the money I paid for the 2 CF bonnet, I could have gone for the real "Dry Carbon" bonnet! These are the real stuff that F-1 cars are made off from a totally different process of manufacturing. They're much lighter and tougther!
Therefore coming to buying another CF pannel such as the boot...I'm very careful. Perhaps filling up the keyhole is a better option...besides, the current weight distribution on my S15 is 53% front and 47% rear. Almost perfect for a FR car!
