Has anybody seen this hood on a firebird?
I have found a good deal on a hood like this(without the hood louvers) for my formula. Would it look good? Has anybody done this or have a pic of one? Thanks

I think that hood looks dated and will make your car look older. I have seen it Firebirds and I don't think it improves the appearence. The twin turbo hood is dated too, but it looks better on birds than the Daytonna one. I would prefer the Formula hood over either of them.

Yea thats called a Daytona, it was used back in the late 70's and early 80's on some custom corvette's. The original was a turbo type hood that also had places cut out for cooling the turbo. It is out dated, but if you like it, more power to you....

IMO, that hood spoils the lines of the car. If you get that hood, however, go ahead and grow the ****** to match it... 
! I like the vette in that web page.

hey redbird, I don't remember having that hood on my car!
do you think you could try put the turbo one on it? I always wondered what it would look like on a formula.
