The cowls are different on the HQ's compared to HJ onwards, just keep that in mind that if you want to run HJ onwards bonnet the creases wont line up unless you replace them.

So i guess if you see anything but q'ie panels on them expect the plenum to be cut bashed and bogged... Unless someone actually took the time :mellow:

People hate the front of the commercial and change it as soon as they can, for some reason i like it, apart from the big round blinkers.

bo6 amblumance pack is the only tunna front in the hq-wb series that was not the factory standard qie cowl
this was a hj-z prem front and rare as hens teeth
came with a gts dash from memory too
yours is rusty anyway so just change over the front panels and flog anything decent off it
or buy a new cowl from rares and weld it in
hj-z gts guards still fetch $400+ plus a pair if they are genuine and dent free

he already has the replacement cowls, they came with the WB. so I think we will be changing the cowls to suit the HZ guards and front.. that is his choice he likes the twin light fronts.. just need to look at how to install the HZ/WB dash to the HQ..

Can this be cut out ??

isn't it just the dash pad and the alloy bracket that's different?
i have the alloy bracket if you get stuck.....the crash pad would be a bit large to post
