I dont know if you have the "power bulge" hood or not, but on my 84 Trans Am I had the normal hood. But it wasnt the original either. I got a 2 5/8" Z-28 style scoop out of JC Whitney and put it on. It looks awesome. i wish I had some pics to show, but leave it to me to not have a digital camera. If youve done body work, it is possible to install the scoop yourself. My father did mine, but after watching and helping, I feel I could do it myself next time. That and the scoop is $75 and not $350 for a new hood.
