Come on, it can't be that hard and you'd sell a heap. would you? find 5 people to put down a deposit and you'll have a better chance of it. the problem is, people DONT want to pay $800 for a bonnet in most cases.

im happy to pay $1000 for a full fibreglass EA/early EB bonnet with a ba bf bulge, if this goes ahead then you have 1 member down for a deposit. i have grafted my own one to steel for the moment and just waiting for someone to manufacture the real thing.
cheers Jesse

You can get reproduction steel versions. I got one of these and it is faultless, incredibly well made & fits perfectly for $635
I bought mine at Panel house in Brisbane but it is the same one as advertised in this add in Vic http://cgi.ebay.com.au/New-Ford-BA-BF-F ... 3cb0d5884d They are made by GORDON Auto Body Parts Co. Ltd & are undercoated completely,even where you cant see using electro-deposition painting (EDP). And for roughly the same price as an illegal Fiberglass product, these are 100% Legal! It would be easy to modify too. Here it is just after the 2k paint dried    And here it is fitted:

I would stay away from Phat Custom Kits - they maybe cheap but there is a very good reason for that, their build quality is very poor in regards to parts not fitting nicely etc

I love the look of them.. -i have one! -And from all the driving i do.. those vents sure do VENT quite a bit of heat out.. You can see it easily while in traffic.. So The vents are functional.. whats not to like about that? Also a fair bit lighter.. But as with most aftermarket gear yes, getn to alighn up is a job and a half.. |
