Shaker Hood
I think this looks really sweet on a 4th gen. Has anyone ever done it to a 3rd gen?

Badandy247, The 4th gen "heritage TA" was actually made by GM as a one-off to go on tour. I think it looks awesome, especially the spoiler. I'd love to create a 2nd gen style spoiler for a 3rd gen (and i don't care for the 88 appearance package version). I did a few photoshops of it and i liked it, it wasn't received so well on the boards though

Just because there is no carb doesnt mean the cowl cant function by letting the hot air out. I want one, but I have a Camaro... and putting a TA hood on a Camaro is like a TA with an SS hood.. it just looks dumb.

I wasnt calling it fake , I was referring to the cheap A$$ people who put the bolt on look-a-like shaker on a factory hood that doesnt do crap!
That is one mean T/A, at least GM could offer the body kits to let people make one themselves. What a waste.

I am seeing more and more of them. Maybe only in CA they sell.

teh problem with retro cars is that after a couple years the novelty wears off and sales plummet.
you're probly seeing more just because..... there are more. and they're in the used car market now.

i'm not saying they should make it as a retro car like the beetle or mini or pt cruiser or whatever i'm just saying that I really like the fender spats and big spoiler and shaker hood and that i think they add to the over all trans am effect
and that maybe if GM sees it fit to give us a fifth gen camaro that some of these styling cues can make it into the production of it not to make it look retro like the new mustang but just because they're sweet as hell and are part of the trans am heritage
