    Best looking commo fullstop. Gives you an idea of what the bonnet looks like.

    The beauty of the Monaro vents is that they integrate so neatly with the overall design of the car.

    If you choose to go to an alternative design, ensure that they suit the car and don't wreck its appearance altogether. Some custom designs look better on a billycart.

    IMO the best looking bonnets on the Commodores is the bulge Falcon bonnet. They are custom made, and look awesome, and not like everyone else getting Monaro bonnets.

    Have a look at these

    SPECIALIZED VEHICLE ENHANCEMENTS - SVE - BODY KITS, WHEELS, SUSPENSION , BRAKES , HDT STOCKIST - Products

    I can't find the link for the bulge, but have a look it's somewhere on the forums.

    im loving the look of the monaro flutes, but in the link that was posted just above, the red buldge hood looks awesome aswell!!

    im also looking for a new bonnet at somepoint soon, something sweet, but not too standard.

    Finally found the page.
    this is the Falcon bonnet bulge, I reckon they look great, and something different to the Monaro one that has been done to death.

    ford bulges suit the VT/VX shape the best, not so much VY/VZ range. not cheap either around the $3,500 mark for one- thats full metal btw.
