    I think it would look great in the right colour - reminds me of the flutes we used to punch on the bonnets of our FJ's and Customlines.....

    on a VY or VZ, yeah great! Not on a VR or VS, would look like crap.

    Never been a fan of the Monaro style bonnets on a VR/S, don't mind them on VT/X though.

    What model is it for? It is complete overkill on any VR or VS as said above. As sad and evil as it sounds, the XR8 bonnet bulge suits a fair few holdens if fitted well. Unsure about the VS though..

    I bought my Monaro bonnet from Savage. Great workmanship, you can't go wrong buying from him whatever you choose.

    I've seen both side by side, in his workshop. I didn't like the fluted one, I chose the normal Monaro one. Your taste, your car, your choice though...
