Yeah, I have the RAII hood also, so I know all about the big bulges in front of your view to the road. Looks good, have any pics of the actual car so we can see what car we're riding in??

Do a search for Alizee, she was the one singing on the radio. She's pretty hot.
Here is the car you were riding in,


The T/A with the LT1, T56, and 4th gen interior is this car,

I should have taken more videos of my Trans Am when it was running with the TPI setup. I only have 3 videos, one while I was tooling around on the street in front of my house, one on the highway tearing up a 72 Chevelle, and one where I was racing a 5 speed SHO.

Loosen up your hood latch and lower it to the fullest point, it'll line up the edge of the nose a lot better. to get mine to fully lined up, I had to bang the edge of wehre the front radiator support is, the corners on both sides, beacuse my hood was hitting right there, and I also took all 4 rubber rests out, and now mine lines up great.

the hood latch is already as low as it will go and the stoppers are all the way down, hood doesn't even touch the stoppers.
I'll check the radiator support and see if my hood rests on it.
thansk for the pict's
i just looked at my hood again this morning and i must be missing something but i did notice that it hitting against that screen on the drivers side near the window so i'll have to try playing with that this weekend b/c the pass side lines up but the drivers side is still about 1/4" to high.......
i'm going to try a snap a few pict's for you today

Well, I am about to head to Hawks Thirdgen and swap my hood with the RA 1 hood with LT1 Guy.
I'll have pics up with the RA 1 tonight.
Oh, and the RA 1 will be going on the 86 T/A when it's done.

Zepher that hood fits like *** around the head lights. have you tryed to fit it?
i had the same hood that fit the same way. i ended up sending it back. stupid POS.. 8 hours of fitting took the nose and fenders right off and still would never sit right .
who makes that one you have?

that corner would never go down. that was no stops in it at all. it was just the hood sitting way to high

Yeah, my RAII hood did the same thing, stuck really high up around the headlights, that's why I said bang the edge of the rad support down, and that fixed 90% of the problem, along with taking the rests out, lowering the latch, and raising one of the rear rests at the hinge. Mine lines up good now except for 1/4 of an inch on the pass headlight, which is so minor I can live with it now.

I had my 305 TPI in the videos I posted above.

I have an LT1 in there now, but I am not done with it yet.
