looks good at that angle but from the side it can look a little too big. that is a very good example of that hood though as a lot of them I see the hood around the headlight buckets looks uneven. I think the 91-91 looks best with the RAI hood.

I'll have to disagree with most here, and say that looks pretty damned good.

i think it makes it look too gaudy. those hoods do not fit the body lines. ive seen them on honda civics too, and they look better on a civic! i dont like them but i have no idea what hood im going to put on my 88 gta........prob a 3-4 in cowl hood.

I think it's too big. The RA1 is big enough in my opinion... Looks like the car is leaning towards the passanger side though?

I like the airdams for the twin intercoolers though.

I don't think RA hoods go good at all with the lines of our cars, but for some reason, that shot looks pretty good... most look awful tho

Not the best pic,
but I think the hoods look better on the 85-90 Trans Ams,


but the RA1 fits the 3rd gens much better,

I, personally, hate these hoods on thirdgens. I think the RA1's look great on 91-92 firbireds and TA's. They actually look alright on the earlier FOrmula's too (like on Zepher's car). But the RAII's lines dont suit a thirdgen whatsoever. it looks like someone taped a big carboard snorkel on a stock hood. just doesnt flow at all. Just my opinion

the RAI just flows well with the design of a 91-92, especially when compared to the RAII. on the car it was designed on.........absolutely gorgeous. on a thirdgen it doesn't work.

now for the earlier style i don't think they look right on either as they bodies are too square but it's just an opinion..
