Twin Turbo Hoods

While looking aroud at hoods on USbody.com, i found the Twin Turbo Hood for $399 and was wondering if anyone here has already bought one, or has any pictures of other firebirds with them on.

I think you're damn good at photoshopping. Looks nice.

One of those was on eBay last week, and I was considering bidding on it. Don't know how much it went for.

It is going to have to be another month or two before i can purchase this hood. I am still 16, and making $100 payments on both insurance and title. Not only that, i am having to pay for registration and inspection. So yes sadly the hood is having to wait alittle longer if i do get it. Right now i am not sure if i am going to put the money towards that or other "important" needs! (350 TPI Rebuild)
