straughsberry Donating Members 1,846 Member For: 17y 10m 5d Gender: Male Location: Broady, Melbourne Posted 28/02/10 11:42 AM Share Posted 28/02/10 11:42 AM When is someone going to wake up to the fact that the XR8 bulge is one of the biggest atrocities ever clumped onto a bonnet as an after-thought. I realise clearance was needed for the 8 but there's a fairly big I6 market in case anyone has missed it. Front-on things look not too bad but seriously, the profile on that thing reminds me of Gonzo from the Muppets.I think the scoop would look a lot better if it didn't rise so much at the back. It would then not have such a long way back to the bonnet. This would make for a much sleeker and less Gonzo-like profile. There are a couple of after-market bonnets based on this design and they still look like crap IMO.
