    Bonnet scoops
    Bonnet scoops/projections may be fitted to a vehicle
    provided the driver’s vision is not restricted under
    normal operating conditions with the driver’s seat
    located at its lowest and rearmost position.
    Bonnet-mounted scoops/projections must meet the
    following requirements:
    • When a 165mm diameter sphere is placed on the
    bonnet in front of the scoop (or bonnet projection)
    and rolled backwards until it touches the scoop, no
    forward point of the scoop or point of contact between
    the sphere and the scoop must lie above a horizontal
    plane passing through the centre of the sphere.
    • It shall be possible to see either the surface of the
    road 11m in front of the driver’s eye or all of the front
    edge of the original body when looking across the top
    of the bonnet scoop. For the purposes of this
    requirement, the driver’s ‘eye’ position can be taken
    as being a point 730mm above and 270mm forward
    of the junction of the seat cushion and seat back with
    the seat in its lowest and rearmost position.
    • The edges at the front of a scoop/projection shall be
    rounded with a minimum of 10mm radius.
    • All other edges and corners shall have a radius of not
    less than 5mm and be designed to reduce the risk of
    bodily injury to any person to a minimum.
    • The scoop/projection must not have reflective surfaces.
    • Any holes in the bonnet must not substantially reduce
    the strength or impact resistance of the bonnet.
    • Air cleaners or carburettors must not protrude
    beyond the original bonnet profile unless the bonnet
    scoop/projection is manufactured from equivalent
    gauge mild steel, compared with that of the original
    bonnet.
    • Air cleaners and/or carburettors must be covered by
    the bonnet scoop.

    Pretty sure they aren't legal in Qld but the cops seem to generally turn a blind eye
