trans am cowl hood pics?

i have a 1992 trans am ws6 and i want to put either a 2or4" cowl hood on it. it has the rounder bumpers not the boxy styles and i cannot find a picture of that car with the cowl hood, everyone seems to be running the ram air hood but i'm a fan of a nice bolt on cowl hood. i'm lookin for pics and i need to know what company makes the hood.

Re: trans am cowl hood pics?

This is one of the sharpest TA's I have seen and I am going to try to make an exact copy of it...I think the hood is a Harwood 3" from Jegs it sells for $462.99

Edit I see you have that long rounded kinda pointed front end I dont think a cowl hood would look good on your car I would go with maybe something like the dual snorkel ram air hood or change the bumper cover.

Re: trans am cowl hood pics?

i have the different style bumpers and wing on my car so i'm thinking it will probably look different.

Re: trans am cowl hood pics?

glasstek has a 4"cowl hood that starts at the front of the hood, does anyone have any pics of a type of hood like that on the gta? I'm just trying to see how the hoods look on my car.(rounded bumpers and the flat smooth wing)

Yep, I did, but it really does not look that great in person. I really like your hood though, what do those run?

Re: trans am cowl hood pics?

I see lots of pics,but none of what chevrunner21 originally asked for.so chevrunner21,my opinion is get a ramair II hood.I think the look is much nicer than a plain cowl.
