z28 and ram air hood mixed together

I saw a grand prix or something of that sort today with a hood that looked like a 91-92 z28 and the smaller ram air hood (ie. not the R/A II hood). Anybody know what I'm talking about, I thought it looked pretty cool, but wierd at the same time.

That would be a GTX. SLP's body modifcation for the Grand Prix.

SLP doesn't do the work themselves, they send the parts to an Authorized shop for the modification. Costs like another 3-4 grand ontop of the price of the car.

yeah, what he said. Those cars are REALLY nice. It's kinda like the V-6 version of the 1996 Impalla SS(or whatever the years were).

Later,

That car looks cool too, but its not the one I was talking about. I'll see if I can find pics of the hoods that it looks like seperately and see if that helps.

Does any one have a picture, or link of this Grand Prix? My cousin has a black '96, and it is the sweetest looking thing on the road. And the best part, it's completely stock.
