I like the Ram air I hood... but I've always thought cowl hoods look great with the 91-92 Z28 wing. So I'd go with a cowl.

i would say the ram air II hood also. i think they look really nice. i think cowl hoods on firebirds look out of place(not bad, just out of place). thats just my opinion

MR JORDAN: Sharp looking car. I'm voting for the 2" cowl because I agree with MeticalliCamaro - the Ram Air hood looks out of place on our more "boxy" thirdgen bodystyle.

ASCD Ram Air 1. No question. When you look at the Ram Air 2 hoods up close, and compare, there is no question the Ram Air 1 ASCD hood looks better.
The Ram Air 2 hood looks too 4th gen and now even ASCD is making a "Ram Air 2" style hood for Hondas... be on the lookout.

I'd go ASCD Ram Air I...to me, the cowl hoods look too "Chevy", and the Suncoast Ram Air I (like Redraif's), while it has a functional airbox, doesn't give you any more hood clearance.

I totally agree with MetalliCamaroRS, Go with the 2" indy cowl style hood that usbody makes, IMHO it looks the best.

I'd go with the RAII or the 2in cowl with the Z wing you have. Sweet car you got man.



I don't think I'm partial or anything, do you?

Well I say if you got the money for the RA2 go for it, but you can get a cowl like mine for bout half the price. Just think bout that. THe turbo or datonay wouln't look bad either and theres not much people with them.

I think the ram air II hood only looks good on dark cars like black, flame red, blue, etc. Otherwise they stick out too much. I'd say go with the 2" cowl. I think it would look really good with the spoiler and wheels.
