As far as i know, you wont find a carbon bonnet for your nova with that carbon style you want, unless you only want the bonnet panel without the sides and some other parts...meaning it wont be an exact copy of the original bonnet.
The boot lid is a lot simpler and im sure you'll be able to find one all carbon and exactly like the original one.

You always have the fibreglass parts as they are light and strong too being a lot cheaper in the end. I have some pics of a fibreglass bonnet i made for my nova (it still needs to be painted black). Boot is my next project.

I think its kinda strange having a fake carbon...better have fibreglass bonnet and boot and paint it black...you also have does covers with carbon pattern, but it only gives you the look...

btw a fibreglass part as less than 1/2 the weight of the original part 8)

You want a fake carbon bonnet? Why? You might aswell stick a badge saying 2.0 16v on the outside of a 1.2 :roll:

imo it might not look very good, what colour are you going for the car, a carbon look bonnet and tailgate might not look right
