If i can get my hands on a spare bonnet i wouldn't mind trying something like this. Maybe not the final shape yet , but anyone like the shape/lines im heading along ?
Well i do but it looks like thats two of us so far!

i actually don't mind the monaro bonnet look personally. it's pretty different and does add an agressive look..........but this is coming from an AU owner with bright orange BA stripes!! soo each to their own.

XR6-VCT, that looks kinda nasty to me ИИИ...i don't know if it's the quality of the chop though. try downloading GIMP 2 for a free photoshop rival mate

I actually have photoshop etc etc , but i just quicklly freehand drew the lot, either gonna like it or you aren't , thats no worries ;) - each to their own , of course it would need to be refined a bit more - but im still deciding weather i like it or not either , still playing around with a few other ideas .. see what happens . gives ya a rough idea what something along those lines would look like

And it should stay that way as well ... on the older Falcon ... not the new ones.
