Mate I'm digging the bonnet. The square ve style scoops suit the sharp edges and square lights perfectly. And like you said it's heaps different to monaro style bonnets. Did you do it yourself or buy the entire bonnet?

Mate, I dig the bonnet. I'm not a huge fan of the Monaro bonnets on VZs but the VE style scoops look awesome. Where/how did you buy it/have it done?

hey bro I'm a qualified panel beater i made it myself with a genuine vz bonnet (NOT a fiberglass shitheap) ;-) ill post some photos

Knowing you made it yourself makes me like it a bit more. Nice work mate!

Love the work you did on the bonnet and obviously fits with the Dus intake, great job.
And like a few others I actually prefer it to the genuine Monaro intake nostrils.

Yeah leave the wheels. Would have looked nicer standard or shadow chromed than black. I actually like the look of the bonnet on this.

Car sound alright. Basically the same as when I had the m/steel xforce on mine.

Do you have any more specs on the cam? Doesn't sound like a lumpy cam, sounds like it would be a 244/242 or 244/244 so more a performance cam.

What does it idle at?

Bloke in the video sounds like a bit of a muppet.

Why annoy the neighbours? Just giving us all a bad name.

Mean machine either way, I'm jealous of your DUSPEED and wheels :(

Keep it clean and straight mate!
