    depends on what you mean by "good" if you mean you like having cracks all over your bonnet, praying to god that a big gust of wind doesnt come and rip it off everytime its open, and never being able to line it up properley, then yeah, theyre great.

    you trying to save weight?

    I picked up a standard bonnet, exact same colour in near perfect condition from the wreckers for $70.00, worth a browse there before anywhere else if your looking at keeping costs down.

    The fibreglass one your looking at though, you sure thats standard, or is it custom or have vents or something?
