    I can never decide whether i like this look on a holden or not.
    There's no denying it's a tough looking bonnet, but putting a ford part onto a holden is like shitting in your own hands...

    Meh, The CV8Z scoops look dicky too but people still seem to get wet over them.

    I like the bonnet bulge. Breaks up the bonnet a bit. I want an XB pro stock scoop on my VY. :P

    Fair point mate.
    I'm not denying the bonnet looks good, it looks mint as.
    But i know that i will get paid out if i put a ford part on my holden, especially with my large group of ford enthusiast friends.
    I'm not a huge fan of bonnet bulges. Unless it's on a pre vl car i am not a huge fan.

    Hahahaha, that will shut them up right then and there.
    I once saw the BA/BF bonnet bulge on a VT exec. It looked out of place because of the length of a commodores bonnet. It's hard to explain, but a ford appears to have a longer bonnet therefore the bulge kind of fits right in and doesn't look bad. But when it is put on a VT the bulge is just there and then the bonnet just stops.
    I understand if what i said above makes no sense what so ever, but the main point is is that it made complete sense in my mind haha.

    If what you say is correct soop with modding it to make it longer then i think it's a tough mod.
    The only other hurdle one needs to overcome whilst doing this mod is the constant though of having a ford part....
    Yet, with that said, daaaaaaam it looks good.

    How is it a ford part really?

    It's just some tin.
    If you're that worried about it just buy a fibreglass revese scoop
