I'm just wondering where can you get these?
Id love a Kouguchi Power one on a 180sx, but I wouldn't have a clue where to look.
Why are they not more popular, I've seen loads that look good, are they expensive?

In a word "Yes"

Quite expensive. Especially if you want one in Carbon Fiber.

Flimsy fiberglass copies are cheep & cheerful but look shit.

Get what you pay for.

Hum... Money Money Money huh!
Must put it to the bottom of the list.

Although vented CF bonnets reduce heat, and reduce weight, so apart from price, they seem to be a good job.

The heat reduction & the weight reduction means absolutely sfa so value for money is just buried in the look ie. the price of fashion.

Practically useless. ;)

Yes, thats the one. ( I think) :o

Sure if people strip the car out to the max with sound deadening etc, would a load of weight saved over the front tyres not be a good job?
