Looks really really good!
Any more pics? More specifically of the bulge. I've got mine sitting on the bonnet at the moment, and marked out where the bonnets getting cut! I'm actually quiet excited to take an angle grinder to the bonnet...

Looks good mate can't wait to see the final product.
Why would you want to cut a hole unless ur plannin on stickin a big donk in to replace ur standard ? seems like a lot of extra work to me... lol My bro ordered one of these and its waitin at the depo for him to pick up anyone got pics of one on an el xr with tickford bodykit and flutes?

(is fibre glass) then body filled the whole perimetre of the bulge.. then hand sanded it.. and thats where im up to... stil needs alot more sanding.... and then a re-spray... hopefully wednesday... so as to be done for the Wagga all ford day..

PS.. (Might even be enough to clear the top of a ba Xr turbo motor?!)

I reckon that looks hot!!!
 But if you are gunna fit a bulge or scoop ya gotta cut a hole under it or you are talkin serious rice!!! Look aat it this way: if anybody asks it is to let out excess heat

You've got a point but that left the factory like that not added afterwards
 If you add it afterwards I reckon it should serve a purpose.  Thats just my opinion though and I can be a bit of a hypocrit

mate i would be careful with ur plan because im pretty sure thats how fordman351's is done and he has little cracks coming up in the body filler comin thru his paint. i would be lookin at gettin it fibreglassed to the bonnet or something else...

FACTORY FITTED.. -stil kinda rice unless thay actualy work.. lol.. so i guess theres no "set" perametres of whats rice and whats not.. -all up to the individual... within reason.. If you add it afterwards I reckon it should serve a purpose. Thats just my opinion though and I can be a bit of a hypocrit ps(that au i p[osted up in the off topic section is "pushing it"!)

Look aat it this way: if anybody asks it is to let out excess heat How does a bulge let out excess heat? And why cut below it if he's not fitting it for clearance? Only reaosn I'm going to cut out my bonnet to fit it is so that it's flush instead of having that ring around it. |
