I was reading about the Mugen bonnet today. Stock is 7.35Kg - Carbon is 4.5Kg from memory.
If you only want to save weight this is a lot of money for a small change. I could save that much by simply emptying the map books, Jessops catalogues, and fuel receipts from under the seats - let alone cleaning the mud and other crud from the carpets.
Nice bits of kit though! And the cooling benefits would be nice if you were in traffic a lot.

If that's the heavily vented bonnet, I hate it.

it does work.. it reduces weight, cools the engine bay, and provides some downforce (or reduces lift), what more do you want

I want it to look nice
Although it has benefits, I do like the look of it. Very in your face and I'm sure not to many tastes but hey, I'd have one

if you want it to look more like a son of a bitch - boxster eater.. then a mugen bonnet is a good addition..
