Yep - maybe I semi-agree Lawsy, but...

Unfortunately I have looked at the bulge on the XR8s and it really suits the BAs - makes them look very strong. So I would still be tempted to fit to the XR6T - looks like quite a few think the same.

I have seen some rice burners - eg Evo Lancers that have the upward facing vent - would like to see what they look like on an XR6T more - they kind of give a rise in the middle of the bonnet, but a proper vent system instead of a clearance bulge. At least in this case they would be functional.

I also think that anyone who likes stripes should have them - not just on GTs cause that's what Ford did. However - I dont like them, they dont look right on a big family sized car in my opinion.

Certainly do. Looks awesome on any XR BA.

Would be funny to see it on an XT though :stirthepot:

Go the bulge :stirthepot:.I've got an XR8 and it doesn't upset me to see one on a T.Should have been factory fitted on all XRs anyway-just like a lower grille.

"To bulge... or not to bulge. That is the question!" Either way looks good. :spoton:

Definately redo the grille in black and the intercooler in silver. It looks "da bomb"! :stirthepot:

Thanks MrX, by having the Big 8 bonnet doesn't look like im trying to be a XR8! If so I would remove my turbo badges wouldn't I? Does that mean we cant put guages in our turbos cause only FPV cars such as typhoon came out from factory with them!? So that means everyone with guages including me on there dash is a typhoon wannabe! Its only a bonnet! Which stands out better than our XT bonnets!
