Hi Mate,
VZ SS Guards are cheap as if you check out ebay or holmart up to $400 a set, you can pick up cheap SS Flutes (up to $140) these days just make sure you get indicator lens & looms - but the HSV ones still run a high price (up to $400 with lenes).
The bonnet work took a few weeks and all up with the guards, bonnet scoop, front bar, grill and bonnet redesign ran me at around the $2500 mark with paint and fitting.
I will be uploading some upto date picks soon as I am fitting up an Alpine DVD H/U & rear screens as well as IPhone mounting audio & video docking unit.
I ripped out the cloth Red & Black interior and replaced it with a Black Leather interior, fitted a Big brake setup with Curved slotted Front & Rears rotors as well to help pull it up.
