If it's steel I doubt I will buy one. Aluminium alloy will achieve the same rigidity for less additional weight and that factor is critical on this car.

The brackets for the struts could have been alloy too. Bolting steel onto the alloy bonnet was the only negative to that kit and I would happily pay the extra cost.
