Default Another bonnet style for the BA/F

Found this on Ebay, looks nice IMO. Anyone bought one? If so, what's the quality?

Be nice to cool the engine down. It should also have some holes at the back of the hump so the hot air can escape.

I would assume that the hot air would be forced down and out the bottom while in motion. Only when stationary would the heat build.

i like em... maybe if the holes were smoother and not so square so that they follow the lines a bit more it would look ace!
getting real sick of seing the xb gt vents on hiace's and holdens.
