Brumby Bonnet - aftermarket

[Wooster]

Anyone know where/if I can purchase aftermarket bonnet or skin for an 89 Brumby?

I don't know of any aftermarket bonnets, but you can get an 'applied skin' of carbon if that's what your after ?
I would'nt bother with it though, as it's hard to apply & doesn't realy suit the Brumby ...

Another option is this :



carbon fiber vinyl

No one ever made an aftermarket bonnet for the MY series, so you had to go genuine. I'd be betting that Subaru now don't have any stock left, so best to find someone wrecking one.

Bantum - is your comment from experience applying carbon fibre look vinyl ? I used to have to instal new large vinyl bits to vehicles and found wa s same as window tint - spray surface with bit a dishwash liquid water mix, slide vinyl into place, squeegee water out and then she sticks!

Na - The real stuff ( see my first line in post above ) as it's messy, not easy to apply & takes ages to do properly ...

The problem with vinyl on bonnet is that it only has a short life span of 4 to 5 years, ( check the guarantee if you don't believe me ) can be attacked by scratching & heat affects bonding, where the adhesive tends to bubble up too !

Window tinting is usually Ok, as it's generally applied on the inside of glass, but it still wears & is also affected by the weather ...

In short - much trouble for very little gain ...
