How would you go about putting a bugcatcher on the soarer v8 (Cast aluminium type,same as the old hotrods). I already have a hole in the bonnet because of a scoop. And love the look of v8's with a bugcatcher (Hmmm Mad Max). |

That would be hell unique though, no one has really ever done this.
Bullet sell the bug catchers by the way. |

i saw a pic of one a while ago.. had a bug catcher, bullbar and chequerplate sideskirts and mudflaps.. it was the only soarer that has made me cry 
you would be better off with a pro scoop or something. bit more rounded to go with the shape of the soarer |

Approve.
Just make sure it's an Enderle style and not a gayass Hilborn. Mr Gasket do a decent knock off for a lot less than a genuine Enderle. |

Hmm, don't really know, I just can't really picture this working on a large sporty, modern(ish) coupe... maybe I'm wrong. |

A bugcatcher I dont think would look the part.
The normal open ended 'ET head' style filter would look alright though, especially with a 6/71 under it. |

i still think someone needs to put a 671 on a v8 soarer.. out the bonnet everything polished then you may have a bug catcher and in the words of tim the tool man taylor "Grunt, Grunt, Grunt!!" hahaha  |

Shame its photoshopped...but does look ballsy. You could catch seagulls with that thing.
No rego for such a baby in NSW. Maybe just about 12" over the 3/4" bonnet allowance. There's a slight chance at club rego, but that's no real fun. |
