Pic of my GTA with 17" 4th gen WS6 rims...

Here she is..... 17" WS6 rims. I still haven't lowered the frontend so it doesn't look as good as it will, but its a start. I also removed all my decals on the car and all my GTA badges. I wanted anything distracting off of the car.... just a slick look. When its done with paint and a hood, the only things on it will be a 4th gen "WS6" badge on the rear bumper and a "###HP" sticker on the ram air hood where "ram air" normally is. I'm thinking 525HP or so. What I'm building should put down 400-450 RWHP, so that would be 500+ crank hp. I think it will look cool on the hood, just something small. I'll wait 'til I dyno it of course. Anyways, this is how it looks right now. Whatcha guys think? Right now I'm trying to decide on the RA I or II hood. What do you guys think?

Oh yeah, here's a pic of my GTA when I had draglites on it and my GTA badges along with my new '04 blk/blk M6 GTO!



And one of my sister and brother-in-law's '02 blk/blk M6 WS6 along with my GTO after I got the windows tinted.



As you can see, we're a Pontiac family Later!

awesome, were a pontiac family too, i got an 85 ta , my dad has a 77 ta and we also have a 2000 gtp daytona editon. I think you should leave the car the way it looks now, dont put a ram air 2 hood on . Possible a ram air 1 but i think it looks good like it is. Just get rid of the front plate.

Yeah, I just got done looking at some RA II hoods on '91-'92 birds and I still like the RA I hood much better. I think I'll go with it, and NO front plate!

I kinda like the hood you have. It looks awesome as is. The thing about the ram air hoods is, they stick up higher than the stock TA spoiler...thats why I'm gonna go with the 4th gen spoiler to compliment my hood.

If I had to choose, I'd go ra 1 though.

I'm not usually a fan of factory wheels, but those look really nice on there.
IMO, you should leave the stock hood. It looks slick the way it is. But yeah, like everyone else, I say if ya do get one, RA1 before RA2......

Nice Goat too.

Wow guys, thanks for all the nice compliments. I'm gonna get the RA I hood eventually along with a new paint job. This one is really showing its 180k mile age.... the pics don't show it, but trust me... it is! Anyways, thanks again... I'll post pics of the car's progress with cosmetics, along with the LS1 brake swap, LS1/T56/9" swap and everything else!
