Yaris CF bonnet and hood damper

Hi,

Anyone here installed an aftermarket bonnet?

I saw an australian importer selling a carbon fibre bonnet (www.takashi.com.au).

I'm afraid of fitment issue, but the guy assured me that it will fit without any modification. I have seen some picture and they look reasonably well finished.

Thoughts? Anybody?


By the way, they have hood damper for the Yaris too, I just bought one from them.

Cheers

Apology for the delay in responding (as I'm not always online), I'm not sure how to upload pictures here...anyway the hood damper cost me AUD$110... took about 1 hr to fit. keep in mind I'm not a technically minded person. It may take 30-45mins for someone else. ;-)

Is it true that you can get a canary or fines for having a CF bonnet?

I've heard that putting one on makes your car unroadworthy because that are very dangerous in an accident (they dont crumple and just slice off heads and create carnage)?
