There is a company in slacks creek called Panelhouse selling them for $425. Has anyone dealt with them before? I'm wandering what the quality will be like? Has anyone used the Bogan special or All Crash parts Bonnets? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83572-fg-v8-bonnet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably be a sh*t in an accident like carbon fibre I guess.

The beater and myself were happy with the fit quality. Ill post pics up directly. One thing to consider is u will need a new bonnet insulator as the six cyl one does not fit the bulge!! 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83572-fg-v8-bonnet/#findComment-1351680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
