I own an Acura Integra and was looking at lightening up the car by adding some carbon fiber products
i have read that CF hoods/bonnets are illegal except for ADR approved ones
What about doors, trunks, mirrors etc?
do they need to be ADR approved?
Thanks
Yes, All Carbon Fibre panels (hood, bonnet, trunk, fenders, doors, etc) that are aftermarket parts must comply to ADRs rules……………….
Forgot to include the timing part :/
But I can ure you its 3′50”XXX
will try to reach better exit speeds and better lines.
{Running without any aeroset (stock), WRC Tarmac wheels, normal carbon bonnet, neons and Ralliart sticker.
EDIT: It’s 3′50″XXX

I like Seibon hood. But VIS racing also has a nice hood.
For a good place to purchase one of this items, is at Noah automotive specialties.com. They also sell on eBay and amazon, but the prices seem to be better on their web site( some of the images are missing on the web site but they are working on it, web site is new) Great prices, and website price includes shipping if you live in the US 48 states. If not just email them and they will send you the correct price with shipping to where you live. I’ll include the pictures i found and the web address.

Yes any good body shop will repair this for you, can take anything up to 2 days , so the price can be high
…on most of the bonnet, my question is, is there anything i can do or apply to the bonnet to bring the finish up nice and glossy again, making the carbon fibre weave stand out again?? thanks
are you sure its carbon fibre and not a fibre glass reproduction

Welcome to the world of owning carbon fiber. The part that most people don’t investigate, before they spend the money on it.
Carbon fiber fades, and yellows. With enough use, it will also warp.
This is the payoff you get for having a cosmetically nice, but otherwise pointless hood.
It’s not the coating, it’s the carbon fiber itself that is fading. You cannot make it stand out again.
Kinda like paint. You can put a nice coat of wax over faded paint. And it will still be faded paint.
this is matt from i4detailing getting his car bonnet rapped after being pushed in to it by av but the results were amazing
