The Bugeye WRX bonnet is deffo alloy I always thought the GX was steel though.

I'd take a magnet around to the local Subaru dealers and see if it sticks to one of thier GX bonnets.....

Are you thinking of getting a non-turbo bonnet and cutting it up ?? Cool louvres etc !!

Cheers

Shaun

if you put a bonnet on with no scoop, i take it thats what you mean what is going to cool the turbo as im sure the bonnet scoop helps cool thuis down ????

not really, theres no direct ducting to cool the turbo like there was on the classics......could make a small vent if you were that bothered....

or ask Alyn at asperformance to get one

You could fit a vent panel in place of the scoop just like they have on the Roger Clark drag car

totally hate the idea of reverse scoop, surely your windscreen would get fogged up in cold weather

Seibon do some *real* nice carbon bonnets with the vents already in place...........if you thought the RCMS vent was expensive then they will make your nose bleed !!

On my x-mas shopping list
