depends what condition ur bonnet is n an if you can easily find another in black or not!! sometimes its best to replace it with an already black one as you can then change it back easily if you wish

have you not thought if u want black bonnet to go for a carbon one?

Vinyl wrap your bonnet, if you dont like it or when you get bored take it off
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
