My girlfriends brother fitted one to his VY SS ute, but it did require some cutting. Looked f-cukin sweet though!

You can get fiberglass hoods off ebay that will bolt straight onto the current VY hinges for $650. Should've looked there 1st if you weren't fussy if it was metal or f/g ;)

Yeah, this was much earlier, when there were around 8 or 9 genuine Monaro bonnets floating around in WA. He was quick to nab one, because Holden stopped selling them pretty quick smart. I'm not sure whether the imitation ones were available at the time.

I'm not sure what the go is now, but I got mine roughly around the same time they started putting GTO bonnets on the Monaro, and I was only able to get mine because another bloke placed an order but realised it wouldnt fit his VY. Then apparently, Holden put a stop on them before too many got away. So at the time there were only a handful of GTO bonnets floating around the country.

SSV do them, but I think CAPA does as well, unless of course they're getting them from the same manufacturer.

i guess they need to keep a certain number of bonnets for genuine monaro replacements
