Unfortunately, you can't beat the real thing.

By the time you attach that thing to a bonnet, however you do it, and smooth over the join to make it "factory looking", and respray the bonnet, the cost of a new XR8 bonnet wouldn't be too far away..... and they are all metal. No fibreglass to crack later on down the track.

Sounds good. Was wondering if anyone had done it and how it came up but youre right, price wise you probably wouldnt be to far away. :spoton:

out of curiosity, what is the price on the stand alone hump?

as from my searchings -

XR8 metal bonnet OEM from ford $1400 (all unpainted)

XR8 fibreglass bonnet from AWC $650

XR8 Carbon bonnet from AWC $1320

XR8 insert here hump $????

lol....

painting for a bonnet comes in at the $200-$300 mark.. so it makes it an expensive exercise.

Reserve was set at $250 so you should probably get one for around $400.

Not sure if its a pro job or a back yard job. Cant ask the guy that question for some reason :spoton:

Hello,

        On NZs trade me site tonight I saw a fibre glass bulge for sale that gives the same appearance as an XR8. (Its not the whole bonnet, just the bulge)

Looks good and is made by a professional by the looks.

Has anyone seen one or own one?

Also would it be a difficult job attatching it to the existing bonnet?

I like that Idea instead of buying a new bonnet.

Cheers :tease:

Gidday I have just won that auction for the bonnet bulge cost me $145,and I am waiting for them to send it to me will keep you updated as to how much it will cost to paint and fit.
