Thanks, got any better pics of just the front or progress shots of it being done?

I really like the way it looks and wouldn't mine trying it on my red SS


No progress shots unfortunately, but if you flick through the thread, there's a few front end pics which might be able to help you out?

Hahaha sorry english isn't that good lol :) Don't worry mate! Very hard to have a car that no one else has... Just think positively and think someone must love your design soo much they had to do it them self's ;)

Haha yeah, I've noticed there's a few VEs sporting the BBS LM reps ever since I got myself a set. Before I got my set, the only colour availble with the LM reps was matte black.
But ever since I got my set in brushed spokes with polished lip, there's a few getting around with it now.


Small-ish update, I'm contemplating selling my Harrop supercharger setup and looking at going twin turbo. Won't happen until I find a buyer for my blower so if anyone is interested in a stealth looking supercharger that's not the common Maggie or HVT or Heartbeat, let me know! :D

No photos to post BUT the blower is sold and coming off in a couple of weeks, and TT will be happening at the same time. Meeting with mechanic/tuner this arvo to have a sit down and determine turbo choices, wastegates etc. :D

Turbs,
What was the cost for the scoop to be moulded to the bonnet?
I'm trying to find someone on the Gold Coast Brissy area and want a ballpark estimate of how much a quality job like yours should be costing me.
Send us a PM if you want to keep it discrete but I've got to say it looks darn good and the guys who did should get some props in the forum for their work.
Cheers,
Snowy

Camaro ZL1 scoop.

I really like them. I was tossing up getting rid of the HSV vents for it, looks really mean.

This is true, and is worth looking into for VE bonnet.

According to the GM literature it gives measurable improvement in thermodynamics, drag coefficient, and handling. Underneath there is an OEM water / rain drip tray. There is quite a bit of info about this (2014 ZL1 heat exchanger) fitted to 2010 (flat SS) bonnet here.

Yeah me too, but for the ZL1 heat extractor.

I got it done down here in VIC by a mob called Centro Autobody. They send the bonnet and scoop away to be moulded (can't remember the name of the guy they used, but he's supposedly very good with moulding). Moulding and curing time is about a 3-4 week turnaround, and painted and fitted was another week.

Price wise, not including new bonnet, scoop or pins was ~$1100 if I remember correctly. Very happy with the finished product and cannot fault it, so props to the boys at Centro.
