I think the R/A I hood fits the 3rd gen better. The scoops on teh RAII hood look out of place. The lines match the car better w/ the R/A I. Now to get an engine worth putting a R/A I hood on there...

i would normally say to go with a cowl induction hood as i am a huge fan of those hoods on almost any car. that is, except the firebird. they just don't fit the lines. i would have to say that the ram air hoods *both I and II* look great to me on the firebird. but if ya had a camaro, it would most definetly have to be the 4" cowl from harwood.

If you are going for the agressive look - Then the Ram Air 2

The agressive look, but yet subtle - Ram Air 1

Stock look w/ little attitude - Power Bulge


IMO, the Ram Air 2 looks the best on birds....

For more Ram-Air I pics, go to the link in the sig. In my oppinion, by far the best looking hood for the 'birds.

I just fiddled with it for a few minutes. It's still not perfect, but looks decent.
