Badge looks sweet painted, I'm thinking bout possibly painting it a dark red to put on my black ute...can't wait to see what your rear badge will look like, what are your other future plans too mate?

hey mate plans are to debadge the sidi and sv6 off the back and just have the two black lions, also paint the calipers red , powdercoat or paint the rims gun metal or black, also planning on getting phreddy to do some work . oh also a walkinshaw bonnet

have u looked at getting a pontiac bonnet? there are a couple of places that make the bonnet a certain way so u dont need the whole pontiac front end and u can keep the normal bodykit

not a fan of the walkinshaw bonnet bulge

They're not cheap. A place in sydney is selling modified GMH bonnets (ie stockies with holes cut in them) for around $2200 unpainted. Not that I'm condoning the walky monstrosity!!! There's also a VE bonnet that has the old VZ monaro twin scoops. Saw it on an ignition sedan the other day - looks fkn horrid!!!! The big, square shoulder lines of the VE paired with the dainty vents on the bonnet... not good!

presumably that's a fibreglass bonnet? I'd be leaving that one alone. 2200 gets you a steel one.

nope steel, its like $650 for a fibreglass one

gotcha. They'll be the same ones then (same photos at least).. seems SSV feels they can charge a premium then!
