i sorta cut the inside a bit bigger where the vents are so more air can come in , because i have just a k&n filter right on the TB. I'm gonna try and make it true ram air sorta like a new WS6, all i have to do is figure a way to get it to work. The gauge in the hood is a fuel pressure gauge. I have a nitrous pressure gauge i'm gonna put in there also.

I like those hoods best on 91-92 birds, but it still looks good.

Looks good but how can you see with that HUGE tach right in your way, your car is an automatic correct? Why would you even need one in the first place?/
