You can still make a decent mold from the most stone chipped item's you've just got to be willing to put the man hours in, and to be honest for a new bonnet mold you'd be looking at 5k for a well made one, so by that their 1.2k one was either part of a deal or not that well made as in imperfections here and there.
I've made 100's of items normally for bikes and its quite cheap and easy if you wanted to make one really, you just need lots of patience
