I personally like #3 the best. It works the best with the body line of the car. Looks good IMO.

You know guys, I love #4 in general, but I want to see it on a 91-92 bird. I dont really like the cowls for birds, because they dont really flow well with the body IMO. BUT, this one is nice...

Most of the cowls ive seen have a sort of "hump" then it inclines, but number four just has a smooth incline all the way. Kinda hard to explain...

Thanks again for the suggestions...

go with the RA1 they look great on the birds

or if you want a more aggressive look this one looks sick and even better in person

the cowl hood , i think it looks good and you dont see it often , but when you do it spend the money to have it fit perfect , ive seen a few cowls on trans ams and they usually dont fit right , so save about 200-400 for prep and paint . dont get the ram air 2 hood it only looks good on my trans am .

#2 i have it on my car and i have seen all thoses hoods in person and nothing looks better or will turn more heads than RA2 style IMO the worst hood you could ge with is the cowl induction it doesnt go with the car but thats just me good luck with the pick.
