I don't reckon it looks too bad.. EB's have the squarer look so they don't need a bodykit for a bonnet buldge imo.

You would need a EDXR lip or a sprint lip to complement the work on the hood....Thats what I recon.

I think LOWXR has a BA bonnet bulge with only a sprint kit (minor body kit) and it looks pretty good. I don't have any pics though

dezza is correct, low xr has it. The only down side to the bonnet bulge is: No window washers....... NOT RWC

surely you could just relocate the window washers, besides I wouldnt think the bluge would get in the way of them??

Or better yet put them in like the BA have them, in the wiper cowl. Nice and hidden but still road worthy!
