cowl hoods?

Sorry if this has been asked before but are there any good 2" or 3" funcional cow hoods for a 3rd gen Trans-Am, I don't realy like the big ram-air style but the smaler ones are not bad.
Thanks in advanced if there is anyone that can help me with this.
Also if you can find any pics that would be great!

well 4" is the legal limit over here so i will think about it, but a 3" would be a nice hight tho.
