Default $550 Ebay Vented Bonnets

Stumbled on these. They are imported fiberglass and not made locally.

I am pretty sure fibreglass bonnets are illegal, could be wrong though

I wouldn't think they're illegal......though you'd seriously want to add some high temp/flameproof sheeting to the underside....to at least give you a chance to put an engine fire out. FG panels burn very nicely.

The underside of the one with the rear side vents actually has a cold air inlet at the rear cowl...ducted to the airbox intake area....nice idea.
I wonder how good the fit is on these?

Can't imagine it would be a bad fit as they're obviously not a designed from the ground up product and simply made from a mold taken off an existing stamped steel design. For the money I'm keen. Just need to save the money first.

IIRC the genuine TruckMaster bonnet is fiber glass anyway, so no difference there.
