fibreglass bonnets are not that lightweight you want carbon really I have both and the glass one is about as heavy as a steel bonnet

Your best bet for windows will be to contact a company like plastics 4 performance and see if they can help you out. They dont have an off the shelf kit for the 5th gen, only the 4th gen.


Bonnet - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seibon-Carbon ... 3cbcf47b0f

A new but slightly damaged one for cheaper - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seibon-Carbon ... 3ce7d9901a

yeah you would probably be better off removing most of the bracing on the bonnet that will save weight but still give an oe fit and no flutter
