Considering a shaker

I'm considering putting a shaker on my car. Not sure how its gonna look tho, I have an ugly crack in the middle of my hood as is, so cutting it couldnt be a huge loss. anyone think they could photoshop a shaker on for me, im curious how it will look on a TA hood as opposed to the plain ones they are usually on. Hopefully this is gonna be much cheaper than buying a Ram Air II hood. Thanks

Non functional shaker hood cam on some of the pro-am (some had the symmetric power bulge hood to though) and bandit II's (I believe choo-choo custom cars) and they looked alright.
Do a search for pro am or bandit and you'll probably find some pics.
I know for a fact the Zephyr (sorry if I spelled that wrong) has posted pics of his friends 'bird that has the fake shaker hood.

Here's one link I recall offhand... http://transamgta.com/BanditII/

The Bandit II is on a hood that has no vents, and a huge bird. I'm just curious how it would look with a TA hood.

btw, nice car... the door handles look sweet.

I personally don't like the look of shaker hoods at all on thirdgens.... I think RA-II looks much better. Though I agree, expensive.
