Disgruntled Goat Member 98 Member For: 21y 6m 13d Posted 31/07/03 01:58 AM Share Posted 31/07/03 01:58 AM hmmm, thinking of ways to make the T a little more visually distintive, love those stripes on the GT.........I know the topic of the XR8 bonnet on the 6 has been done, but would be interested to hear what peoples thoughts are on putting the GT stripes on the 6?At $470 plus install, I'll be doing some furhter consideration first.

I reckon (tasteful) bonnet vents are the go myself. XA GT style teardrops or maybe the XB GT "nostrils". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a small intake or vent on the bonnett (wrx or EB GT style) and more badging - that you don't need binoculars to see. Perhaps it was an issue of production costs and keeping them down by reducing variations amongst the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a half-centimeter-odd sized dimple in the middle of the moulding, a blue stripe to fill that would set things off nicely I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 1m 3d Posted 31/07/03 03:46 AM Share Posted 31/07/03 03:46 AM How funny that this topic should come up. Stripes are going on my T in the morning and I am investigating either XA GT vents or EL XR6 vents for the bonnet. I love the idea of vents, but hate the idea of a panel beater or somebody else cutting holes in my bonnet!! Would this cause the bonnet to warp/flex or change at all? I hope not, will keep u posted.

chief Member 166 Member For: 21y 3m 30d Location: Melbourne Posted 31/07/03 10:55 AM Share Posted 31/07/03 10:55 AM Blue stripes (on white) along the side (like GT) or a big mutha down the middle, is the way to go. I'm thinking about it, but you do gotta earn your stripes first (ie hot it up) other wise your all talk and no walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
