I love the bulge on the xr8s and GT's I think the monaro scoops look alot better then the original bonnet the monaro use to have, it gives it some agression but I am very dissapointed to see that its just cosmetic and I'm sick of seeing every newish commy putting it on their bonnets. The bulge is mean thats why so many people are getting them on their cars. I have seen 6's and now commys doing the same.

If I was to put a bonnet on an xr6t then it woud be the drif6 bnnet with the vents

I voted for the bulge as the small scoops on the Monaro or GTO look ridiculous.

However the scoops on the XB look awesome, much better than a bulge.

Time to stir this thread up, with everyone wanting the bulge, fair warning you will see mine disapear, ( yes i am crap at PS ) so any good PShoppers are welcome to try, I will need to keep the top right section of the bulge to cover the TB section but other than that the bulge will go.
