    Dont get me wrong, I love the factory bonnet, but ive been looking at a few after market options. This one in particular caught my eye and now I am struggling to decide if i like it. Im pretty sure i do, but is it too ricey? Yes the pic is quite small, but you get the idea. Link to full size image and site

    If it didn't have those vents and the bulge then it would look really nice.

    All relative to what the rest of the zed looks like. I don't, not like it. Would look like ass on a stock zed, but on a kitted up zed it would look good I think.

    Agreed. That bonnet would look really good when on a car like this.

    I have a video of a car with this bonnet. Doesn't look too bad. I'll put it up when I'm home.

    not bad

    In the end it is your car and you do what you want to it! Some of the purists on here will say that you should not change anything on a zed but seem to forget that they themselves are running different rims or maybe a different interior or even different paint colour. Personalize your car the way YOU want to, because, You are the only person that has to be happy with the way it looks!
    Oh and don't forget about the laws :eek:
    Check the states rules on vented bonnets before fitting one ;)

    Hum.
    Its very um... back-of-a-lambo-ish?
    Personally I'm not a huge fan, I think the styling isn't quite in line with the zed but.. depends on the rest of the mods you want to put on your car I guess?

    Maybe the question you need to ask yourself is.. what's more important. Rice or nice? ^^
