well i am getting my car painted here soon and was wondering which would look better. the car is an 86 iroc *see sig*. im getting a new nose (old one was cracked), 91 gfx, new 1/4 panel, door, rear bumper, rear tail lights, hopefully a 1LE gas tank (i know.. has nothing to do with body apperence), a new dash and front speakers and maybe the gauges out of a 91 Z28 (if i can drop them in with no problems). I am debating between these to hood, i have always liked the iroc turbo hood, but i saw the SS big block hood on a 3rd gen and thought it looked sweet. but im not going to put the 91-92 style wing on the car.. im going to fab a spoiler from a 2nd gen on it (i dont feel like waiting for the 5" spolier from american sports car.. it prob aint going to happen anyway.. or if it does.. in 3 years) anywho.. imho the turbo hood would look better with the 2nd gen spoiler.. where as the big block hood wouldnt look that great with it.. but with the 91-92 spoiler it would look decent. so im just fishing for opinions.

 

I hate the turbo hood w/ a passion, I think the tube like things in the side make it look like a toy car, the BB hood looks alot better. Basicly anything (including no hood) would be better than the turbo. Just my two cents. Later

 

diddo i cannot stand the turbo hood it looks way to bulky imo. go with either the big block hood or an ss hood and you wont regret it i gaurentee

 

On MY first car (1984 Z28 L69) (1992 Z28 Clone), I went with the Big Block Hood because it was cheaper. IT looked REALLY REALLY tough, got alot of compliments on it.....here is a pic of it...

 

A picture of my 1991 Z28 with the SS hood..both are very nice hoods......!

 

Get the big block hood. The twin turbe hood looks ugly as sin.

 

 

Big Block hood all the way. It looks TOUGH! And with your kind of numbers, you can back up the look.

I had the big block hood, it was a very nice hood. I always got compliments on it. You can check out the pics the link is in my sig. As for the turbo hood, its not my taste but to each his own.

 

did you cut your hood to let air in? if so what did you use for a screen? i am getting ready to cut mine out, and dont know how to make one. i just painted mine so it kind of looked cut out when i firts got the hood.

BTW..dont waste the money on the TT hood....i get compliments everyday when i drive my car.

 

yeah, the turbo hood is ugly!

only the SS Hood over here!

 

Well...wish I could help you out....but....what I did was spray paint that part black and used black pastic screen there so it had that "ram air" affect.....but....it looked great! I thought about maybe cutting it out....but I didn't want to take the chance of it cracking in the future...but..I'm sure you could probably cut out and have no problems....I would probably use either a dremel tool or a die grinder to cut it out....

 

If someone can tell me how to post a picture or post it for me I can post a picture of my TT hood that I just got painted along with the car The hood was free so I couldnt go wrong.
