hotxr8 Member 49 Member For: 15y 11m Gender: Male Posted 15/09/12 09:06 AM Posted 15/09/12 09:06 AM (edited) Just had a aftermarket xr8 bonnet supplied, painted and fitted at the local panel shop, $730.It's a BA, panel gapes are good, fit is good, and it vibrates no more than the genuine one on my wife's BA XR8, or my mates BF XR8!And the guys at the panel shop said that for a aftermarket part it is quite good panel thickness wise.

Bonnet's shouldn't be vibrating.The back edge wobbles abit when going over bumps, just like my wifes genuine bonnet on her XR8.I never noticed it before, but then I've never looked at my bonnet when I was driving before.
