Hi Guys - Preparing my CV8-Z for sale. Removed the OTR air intake (getting it back to stock) and it has scuffed the bonnet pad. I'd like to replace it with a new / genuine one but nothing in stock @ my local GM dealer. Had a look around on the web / eBay etc. but when I see "genuine OEM" I get a bit suss that it is not a GM part plus I haven't seen any that cater for the air intakes. Any ideas where I can look?
Thanks in advance.

You won’t get a GM genuine one anymore. I bought one of the last in Australia. Last year. There were three available and one arrived damaged.

There are after market available now that are better.

Bang in a Google search for '2005 Pontiac GTO hood liner'.
You should get some hits in the USA to their GTO forums where it gets a few mentions.

Thanks Guys - I'll work a bit harder / look at the suggested options.
If anything sensible turns up I'll post it here for others to see.

You’ll need to cut the holes though

This one is better than the factory one by all accounts.
Thanks for that - I chased it up but the Monaro bonnet cross braces are located differently, as in the cross over is from a central point not the horizontal rib.
