Maybe it also has a Ford Engine underneath too. A good improvement.

They're not too bad to be honest. Seen one on a mates VZ, except his serves the purpose to clear his intake manifold.

I was at one stage contemplating it, but many other things more important came up and was placed on the backburner
I personally reckon they look good, on the right car with the right look. If it enhances and goes with the rest of the theme of the car, then by all means, mod away and do it but do it well, and not a dodgy job. Ebay listing for the bonnets are here (Image is from the ebay listing.)

They seem to follow the bonnet crease lines very nice actually. Esp the vy/vz bonnet. I know its wrong to put on the enemy but thats my 2c worth.
