Gallardo transparent engine bonnet

This is the first factory delivered Gallardo that I've seen with the glass bonnet. Picture taken from Platinum's Orange County Garage.

Not sure if anyone has seen these yet.

It is in the car sightings thread.

Looks pretty good.

I agree the glass cover looks nice, but I wouldn't do an aftermarket fix. The louvres are quite nice anyhow, and the engine bay needs more color to make the engine stand out more.

I was showing my 2 young nephews the engine in mine the other day out on the street - it attracted a crowd of 30 people before I could get the hood down again. You make a lot of new acquaintances with this car!

I got color coded intake manifolds for my lambo from www.lamboparts.com that really spiced up my engine and made the whole car stand out even more ( if thats possible )

I finally saw the real one yesterday... I hate the black covered part of the glass to protect motors for the rear spoiler.

I got a clear lexan engine bonnet for my Murcielago from the guys at www.LamboParts.com. Everyone freaks over it and Murcielago owners all want to know where I got it from. They also powdercoated my intake manifolds to match the color of my car. Any way, they might be able to get you a clear Gallardo engine bonnet. Try them and I highly recomend the upgrade.

Very nice. A Murci bonnet is much different than a Gallardo bonnet or any Ferrari bonnet... as it's not flat. Can you post some pics for us?
