Yep, AWC make them. Unfortunately you won't get one exactly the same as the one on that ute - it's a flip front bonnet!

Do you know if the shaker is plumbed up and functional as an intake, or just for looks.?

Actually they do, just not AU2 --> Fortes and all series Fairmonts.

So the bonnet bulge will fit all AU1 Forte and Futuras, plus all model Utes.

The AU2--> bonnet bulge is a work in progress.

would have to see the whole car first to say, but it doesnt look good on an E series. the AU somehow looks good with one though.

looking at it again, the top shot looks terrible.

the 2nd pic is growing on me, but from what i can see, the lines dont flow like they do on the BA/AU bonnets.

so, if the bulge was a little shallower/less tall vertically, i think theyd have a winner.

Brett had to use the buldge as the new manifold on the V8 was fouling with the stock bonnet .. so it's there for function as well a looks ... in the metal though ... it looks MUCH better than in the pics.

The EF Fairmont GHIA is an animal as well ... also has 330mm Tickford rotors and 4-piston calipers up front as well .... works was done at Crescent Motorsport.

Has changed his rear badge to Terrorist GHIA as well ... LOL

There's a nice big blue bottle in the boot too for the track.

Makes 215rwkw too ... so it's no slouch for an EF.
