Does the Carbon Bonnet for GK5 fit the Fit Hybrid and 1.3 liter cars?

Yes. Spoon registers the Carbon Bonnet for GK5 across the third-generation Fit: the GK3 and GK4 with the 1.3 liter engine, the GK5 and GK6 with the 1.5 liter, including the RS with manual or CVT, and the GP5 and GP6 Fit Hybrid. Spoon notes it fits both early and late models.

How much weight does it save?

Spoon weighs the factory bonnet at 7.8 kg and the carbon version at 4.2 kg, a cut of 3.6 kg. That is close to half, and on a small displacement front-drive car with most of its weight up front, Spoon says it shows up as quicker turn-in, less brake load and improved acceleration.

Can I reuse my factory insulator?

Yes. Spoon copied the rib structure of the factory bonnet on the underside of the carbon panel, which gives it strength and lets the original insulator and garnish move straight over. That keeps the engine bay looking factory and avoids buying replacement trim when the bonnet is changed.

Will the carbon discolor in sunlight?

Yes, all exposed carbon can, though Spoon says years of resin development have kept discoloration from ultraviolet light to a minimum on this bonnet. For a car parked outdoors, Spoon still recommends a UV-protective clear coat, applied after a test fit and left to air dry without heat.

Are bonnet pins needed?

No. The bonnet locks using the same latch method as the factory part, so the install needs no pins and the front of the car keeps a clean look. Drivers entering timed events should confirm whether the organizer requires a secondary hood restraint on every car, regardless of what the bonnet is made of.

Spoon Sports Carbon Bonnet for GK5 Honda Fit

The Spoon Sports Carbon Bonnet for GK5 Honda Fit trims the bonnet from 7.8 kg to 4.2 kg, and on a small-engined, front-heavy car the saving is felt more than the number suggests. Spoon lists the benefits as quicker turn-in, less load on the brakes and better acceleration. Underneath, the panel copies the factory rib structure for strength, so the original insulator and garnish transfer straight across. Spoon also says years of resin development have reduced the UV discoloration that bare carbon is prone to. It locks with a factory-type latch and needs no pins, and it fits both early and late versions of the third-generation Fit, from the 1.3 liter and 1.5 liter cars to the Fit Hybrid. The natural home is a GK5 RS used for club racing or autocross; on a car used only around town it is mostly a change of look.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
