No fibreglass to crack later on down the track.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>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.

bossk Member 7 Member For: 20y 4m 6d Gender: Male Location: Otago Posted 23/08/06 05:05 AM Share Posted 23/08/06 05:05 AM 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 ←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.
