Mother of god.

As long as you like it. lol

Hmm... It's not as bad as some bonnet scoops that I've seen (looks good!) :) Congratulations on being original! lol Seriously dude you have enough fibreglass on that car to enter the Sydney to Hobart yacht race lol

lol yeah i do like it but then again if it doesnt look goodi have my spare stock bonnet to put straight back on.

get the XR8 bonnet scoop that would look tough, something similar, no holes!:badgrin:

Check out Digger's (http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/member.php?u=6967) profile, there's a magna in there with a bonnet bulge, looks like trash.

looks alright imo. probly better to take the bonnet off the car when doing the work so u dont crap all over the windscreen and whatnot

looks awesome get some para's

eeeeewwwww!:redface: yeah dont do that one

not to my personal tastes, but kudos on giving it a go yourself! :)

i like it. cant wait to see the finished product dude!

I like bonnet scoops. Although something smaller may have been better - just my thoughts.
Is that an EVO6/7 scoop or something aftermarket?

Will watch your progress with interest.
Some will like it, others not - main thing is, if you like it or not.

Bonus points for giving it a go. :thumbsup:

you might wanna sand with the bonnet of the car. those sand dust will get into places hard to get and will be a pain to clean up once wet

but kudos on trying it out

Go with the bonnet bulge it looks tough and much better

i like it

but personally i have thought of putting the evo vents into a th bonnet... ive seen a pic and it looks hot!

I thought it would be bigger.;)lol

huge respect for the work going into this...
huge disrespect for the camera phone :D

Mate that is looking hot, nice work on it so far,suits the front bar. u got me thinking of doing some more stuff to my car. cant wait to see the finished product looking hot, keep it up.

Man thats looking nicely built (not a huge fan of scoops but its looking good). Is it going to be a practical scoop (as in it allows air out) or just for looks?

yeah im just gonna go for the looks on this one.

Space age look. Looks like it was designed by a Klingon. (tonge in cheek :D ) but I do appreciate and like the individuality and the thought you've put into the design. Well done for the effort. It certainly stands out, and you obviously like it and that is what really counts.

Not my cuppa tea but looks nice..:)


I seen a BA XR8 Bonnet on a R33 Skyline.. looked so hot..:)

Mental looking Bodywork you have there, as other said, Some major work gone into it.

Please ditch that RALLIART sticker! it looks HORRIBLE!!!!
And probably get 20"s, I would say just lower your car, but i think thats as low as it'll go!

has it been photo-chopped???? it looks 2 low to the "grass" for the height it has between the top of the wheel and fender....if ya kno what i mean and the grass near the side skirt dont look right.....nice work n e way i wouldnt have tackled summin like that kudos

Man that looks hot. Carmate now sell that body kit you should get the rear bar cover to match it. That bonnet sets it off perfectly, well done.

Hey that looks pretty cool expecially since you DIY. :cool:

looks nice, very good effort for a DIY..
doesn't look toooooo over the top either..
well done, now get it painted :-)

thanx for the commets guys. yeh next is to paint will try and do soon. i like it just thought id go something different.

yeah i got the rear cover in the garage just the problem of putting it on no one on the goldcoast will even try and also my rear bar has a lil warp in the middle which makes it even harder.

nuh i didnt photo chop it i aint anygood at that stuff anyway. im guessing my back yard grass just is leveled properly:D

Those updated pics actually look pretty good - suits the kit coz its so big and looks soooooo much better than the bonnet that is mean't to go with that kit

:stoopid:
The first pic i didnt really like it but it has turned out pretty good hey! Nice work and congrats for giving it a shot hey! i sure wouldnt do it.

looks good mate well done! im goin to ge with the BA GT buldge or the monaro scoops not sure which yet but ill definately do something now! congrats

Luvvin it. Goes well with the kit and the car will look hot. Well done for giving it a go. :2cool:

that looks hot, paint the bonnet, roof and trunk black, it will be diff and look so kewl. PARRAS. keepup the good work

It does look tough mate, i would highly suggest that you put some flares on those wheel arches boy! NOW! get to it!

heres the update on my bonnet needs one more layer of paint and a nice buff then should be done.

I like that very much.:)

What does it look like from inside the car?

Are you going to put a rear bar on it?

Great work! Awesme bonnet!
Now, Parras, 20"s (as i dont think you can lower that much) and Get rid of that stupid ralliart sticker :D

that turned out really well makes your car look mean

can i have one, that looks mint

...Are you going to put a rear bar on it?:stoopid: Needs a rear bar to balance/finish it.

yeah ive got the rear bar in the garage just im having trouble putting it on its abit tricky and theres not many panel shops on the goldcoast that wanna try and attempt it with out ripping up my wallet.

theres a guy i know who makes carbon fibre vents and scoops in SE. melbourne. some mad ones!

That looks awesome mate top job. Looks soooo much better than the bonnet that comes with that kit.

The gap between the wheels and the top of the arch is huge though and doesn't look like you can lower it much more. Maybe a set of wheel arch flares would be a good idea to make it look a better height. Slamd6 has the same kit as you and he got a set of flares (altho he has 20s as well!) and it makes the height look much better

the car looks friggen awesome man.
dunno about the shopping list on the front quarter panel tho - unless you actually do have that stuff:-)

that looks awesome mate, well done :thumbsup:

As with JEDI, lose the list. hehe

looking well done dude, extremely well crafted.

Reminds me of them crazy Japanese modders.

Parras FTW.
