Good fit, bonnet had a small bend in one of the back corners when we opened it but the painter fixed it very easily and didnt charge me. I am happy with the fit. Good people to deal with as well. Here's a pic. 1

Talked myself out of that move... Dont know whether to paint it or not, dont mind the contrast with the undercoat.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Falcon-FG-XR8-Turbo-Bonnet-Hood-Hump-CHANGEOVER-we-keep-your-bonnet-/260985211597?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc3ee4acdHighly rate these guys, couldnt do enough for me and all for nicks(apart from the very cheap cost of parts).220 change over for a bonnet and threw in a brand new chrome trim for the front of the bonnet. 1

The tint is 15%, it is dark but seems to look really dark in that shot.

Coop450 Member 144 Member For: 14y 3m 29d Posted 19/07/13 08:40 AM Posted 19/07/13 08:40 AM 800 seems a bit steep, considering the bonnets are already primed.
