The hood is an American Sports Car Ram Air hood from www.americansportscar.com. I think it cost me @$450. The spoiler is from A&A. The hood is setup for TPI cars that have the air box on the paseenger side. I'm carbureted and just didn't have the time or energy to make it functional. Come winter I'm going to fabricate a carb pan to seal to the hood.

Quality of the hood is very good. Needed some work but no more than most fiberglass hoods from what I've heard. The spoiler on the other hand is pretty dissapointing. It's made out of a type of foam that paints weird.My body man spent alot of time on the spoiler and it still looks like the paint is bubbled in spots. Not too noticable to most but it bothers me.

 

thanks a ton you car looks good to me and i would be very proud of it so does all the materials come with the hood to make it funtional? y car is tpi so that interests me alot

The hood is molded so that the air gets routed to the side. There is just a hole cut for the air to come thru. So it's pretty much up to you to figure out how to hook it up. I'm not even sure how much cold air gets there even.

To be honest I bought the hood first for looks, and with the thinking that I could rig something up if need be.

Quite a few guys have the hood on here, maybe one of them might know more on TPI applications.
