New hood for the Formula

Alright guys its come time for me to pick a hood for my Firebird. I got a Maui(I think thats the paint color) Blue Formula. Its an 89, also I got ROH Z's on the way for it. Sooo... without further waiting, which hood should I go for? The Ram Air Hood II WS6 style, or the 93-97 Ram Air hood. Keep in mind my car is not the T/A. So I dont need replys with people inserting pictures of there T/As even though they are very bad *** looking, just a little different looking then my car. So Guys what should it be. And Pics would be gr8 on just base birds with these hoods, or formula, no T/A's this time sorry guys.

You want it, hehehe. Nothing just looking for a little change. And I love the look of a Ram Air Sytle hood. But the decision is eating me up inside, lol. Its only because of the color. If it was like black or white, the decision would be sooo much easier but its that Maui Blue. And its kinda tuff

Thanks, but I got a power bulge hood I gutted it out so now it opens right into the engine compartment. At any rate, I think the Ram-Air hood would look good. I'm pretty sure i've seen a Formy or two on here with them....hopefully someone will post some pics soon.

On a formula go Ram Air 1. The ram air 1 just looks like it would of come stock if GM had been on the ball. The lower wider look of the ram air 1 just melts in with the sleek no GFX look of the formula. The ram air II hood looks bad *** but looks to big and out of place on the formula. The ram air II looks like an afterthought on a Formula .
