i am looking for a hood for my 89 Firebird to give it a more agressive apearance.
I was planning on getting the Ram Air Hood from www.ramairhood.com, but after looking at it for a while it looks a little plain and boring, and not very agressive.
What do you guys reccomend?

That is a weird hood 4mul8r, but weird in a factory sense, not looks. I like it, it is very original. I have never seen a t/a with that hood. Are you sure it is stock?

It was on the car when I bought it,....but it definately isn't factory. It's fiberglass, fairly thick, and damn light. I have no idea who makes this hood or where the hood was bought. One of the things I like best about it is that it looks like a formula hood with a mirred bulge on it,....which I was thinking about that idea when I had my 89 Formula,....(although my concept was to incorporate the iroc louvers into the bulges).....probably a good thing I got my TA before I attempted it though....
Had a accident, so had to change my hood, had a tough decision between ram air and power bulge. Actually having a functional ram air hood with K&N air filter really makes a difference in performance and gas mileage as compared to just power bulge hood. I got a gain of 1.5 miles after having ram air.

Hy guys,
I am looking for a hood that have twin style air ducts on each side for my GTA. I remember seeing one for the Camaro, but not sure if its also available for TA's. Also the Camaro hood I saw had a strange cowl induction in the middle with slots on each side which I personally dislike. Does anyone knows of a company that makes a GTA style hood but with just the air inlets on each side? I dont mind if it dosent includes brackets for lifting or if there is no way of using the pivoting lifting brackets with this new hood, in fact I would preffer to use pins instead to hold it down.
I know that you can get that IMSA hood from Motion Glass. I almost bought that one back in the middle 90's for my 82, but goth that "Twin-Turbo" one instead. Since trying to get that hood to fit, I have never even looked into getting another aftermarket hood. I would like to see someone come up with a C5 style scoop for the Firebirds though. I think that would be just enough attitude on there. I have to say that my favorite hood is the stock GTA (4-vent) hood. The powerbulge hood is cool, but a little too 80's for my taste. I know, these CARS are 80's, but I just think it looks dated that's all.
