Just looking at your picture, is that a proper badge rather than the sticker I see on your Bonnet?

Reason for asking is that the factory use a sticker to stop stress fractures where they would have had to drill the holes. Interested if you have found this to be a problem.

Nice car though, I asked the factory if they could leave my bonnet raw but was told no. Boo Hiss to Mr Porsche!

barebones, that hood looks pretty nice. Is that stock RS one?
Did you have to clear coat it or is it untreated carbon fibre? Again, looks nice. Thanks for the photo.

people are always impressed with the service from Gert at Carnewal. i believe the price depends on the fluctuation of the Euro, so gotta catch it when the dollar's strong.

as a side note, i bet a carbon Roof would save some significant weight, as well as fenders and stuff. though not sure how extreme you want to go. can get from kellymoss racing.

Thank you for the useful info, got some research to do now. 8LBS for the hood... isn't that kinda heavy for carbon fibre hood?
