Is it for real? Or just some fake one off? Am I reposting?

Didn't Wheels or Motor also have this splashed over the front cover recently?

It's a HO... but not a Ford GTHO

http://www.hointerceptor.com.au/HO/index.html Do you remember Phase autos? they did the Phase kits, well they still do kits and builds...

I would at least upgrade the brakes on that thing, it looks a little silly...

I've seen that bonnet on a few FGs, the wheels are aftermarket, the stripe on the bonnet is from an FG1 GT, it's an XR front bar, I'd say it started life as an XR8.

Designed & produced by Wayne Draper.
As some of you have mentioned he was responsible for the phase body kits.
I have been to the owners house and have seen the car at various events and don't mind it at all.

I know this car and the owner and yes it did start life as an XR8 that has had the Wayne Draper from Phase Autos body kit installed.

I really like that FG Bonnet on the HO website. Should be standard fitment to all new FPVS!
