    Default VN SS group A bonnet buldge Yes or No?

    I picked up the buldge cheap but im not sure if it suits the car. What does every one think? Yes or No?








    And i know its not the same colour as the car its only a $2 can of spray paint so i could see what it looked like.

    I think it suits the commy, but not the statesman ... My 2c is that it makes the car look a little cheap ... But, if you took off the front hood ornament, and had a different grille, it would suit it more...

    I was trying to decide if I went the buldge on my Vn, but am still a little unsure about it ...

    dont like it @ all the grill seems to clash with the race style bonnet scoop on a aero,group A or SS it would suit but something says Statos are cruises,clean and cars without massive kits or so forth.
    Cheers.

    I think it looks ok, but it looks a little better without it. That's a trouble with VN's they dont take easy to body kits, like with a Torana you just stick the A9X bits on it and it's instant sexy but do the same to a Commodore and it can make it look a bit shonky if it's not a perfect replica

    Buldge still no, but the side flares are not really noticable anyway... So it makes no real difference IMO ...

    The side flares ill probally put on like you said you dont notice them that much. I also want to put on a lip that goes on the front bumper at some stage when i find one

    i dont really like the buldge too much, the stato itself looks perfect. the VQ's are hot how they are. and especially lowered with tinted windows.

    maybe the arch flare looks alright but i wouldnt put it on.
    sort of looks odd not following on to the bumper...

    but thats my opinion. do whatever you want.

    That would make it look neater..... If I were you, I would not put them on until you had the lip and it was all lined up and looking nice... Not really worth putting it on half hearted and then waiting to finish it off...
