If anything it'll probably be an SS tarted up with all the WP parts that they'll sell through dealers, judging by the 3rd pic.

Thats already been done. You might not have seen them but a few VY's have already had the bulges grafted straight onto the bonnets, and theres a few AU's with them too. I personally prefer the XB-XC rally bonnet bulge

While the bulge looks pretty cool i dont see why you would put it on a car that doesnt need it?

And yes the scoop they had on the XC (first 30 bathurst model) was awsome.
