GT Auto has the same concept just with red paint and flames on it.

What I've always wanted to see is that RAII hood with the anniversary trans am's bird-stripes. I've seen a couple fourth gens with them...but idealy I'd like to see a red transam (3rd gen) with the black bird-stripes on the hood.

I have the Ram Air II hood on my 91 Firebird w/aero gfx,at the present time it and both my fenders are primered Maybe one of these days I will take a moment and stop buying stuff for my cars and get myself a digital camera and post pics. I will end up painting the entire car back to its original color,white.

Hey 86FyrBrd, I dont know if you're open for suggestions, but there is one BIG thing I think you could do. I mean, I look at your badass car, and everything looks great... great paint, hood, spoiler, rims. It's all good. The thing is, when I was lookin at the wheels, I thought that your wheel to fender gap, or whatever it's called, is too large. I thought you could improve the appearance ALOT if you lowered your car. I could be wrong, maybe the gap can't be reduced. But yeah, that just some positive criticism on my behalf.

Nate

BirdonFire, you must get some pictures of your car up. Do you know how long the members here have been waiting to see the RA2 hood on a 91/92 style firebird with the gfx?!?! WAY TOO LONG! lol You will be a hero to many if you complete your mission should you choose to accept it.

Thanx for the criticism, I feel it to, about the only thing I can really do is put a high profile tire on it. these low-pro's magnify the problem. I cant really lower it rite now unless I spend a couple hundred first to get my exhaust up higher. After the exhaust buying suspension stuff, getting it on, it would be almost another $1,000 project. ...it can wait
