Thanks in advance!

...and i thought the turbo hood looked bad on the camaro.


haven't seen it online before. no impact no idea.

 

Looks sick huh? Damn I want one badly....I tried e-mailing the owner twice n I got no response from him

 

you might want to look into seaching for vette hoods cause i have seen a few like that in daytona beach on vettes. then find out the custom fit cost

 

My bet is, the owner bought just the center section, then had it molded to his stock hood.

Looks just like the IROC turbo hood. I've just never seen a Bird with one.

On a side note....Why did they ever call it a turbo hood anyways? The IROC never had turbos, and I don't see the connection between turbos and those hoods anyways.

 

don't know where you can get the hood. but i did see that car online and the ad is nothing but

 

Yeah the fact that it might be custom made might be another possibility!

 

More than likely it's a Daytona hood from a Camaro mated to the hood of a 'Bird.

No. I take that back. It's the sides of the Daytona hood, with a 'Bird hood with the center raised. Sorry man, it's pretty custom.

 

Anyone know how much would the job cost?

 

They have that hood here http://www.usbodysource.com/ go to the 82-92 camaro section and u will see that hood its called daytona hood 2" ...its not an exact match of the one in that picture but its close

 

please dont put that on a third gen.

 

My car had it on it when i bought it but i decided to replace it for the stock hood which i think looks better.

 

Ok! well personally Im not with the ram air hood design because it looks to bulgy! any other hoods that exist besides the ones that are available? While am at it..check out this hood that I found....http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/Pr...erdutyhood.jpg

 

To me, that's just the 4th gen Camaro SS hood.

I like this one better...



Detail page

I'd like to see a pic of the bottom of it.

 

Looks like he glassed a turbo hood on a steel hood. The ss Hood looks 10x better IMO, But they are getting played out like flames did.

 

Yeah it does look sorta wierd on the Trans Am huh? Check out the "twin turbo hood" in this web page its the third one down..click on 82-92 firebird n let me know what u think about it...

 

I just sold my hood like that like six months ago. But I bought mine used off some guy in VA and it needed paint. It was sweet, the fiberglass hood was definately a huge weight reduction from the stock Formula hood!

The one that I had didn't look like it was custom, and if it was someone did an awesome job!

 

steven I must say that I agree with you on that.turbo IROC ? WHAT?ARE YOU SERIOUS?You sure?thats a turbo car.?usually in my findings turns out to be some 84 model 305 with a 4-barel intake and 600cfm single inlet carb feeding all of that power.Anyway,my brother had a similar hood on a bird several years ago (no turbo ) wish I did have pics of that one though.I don't agree with the 91-92 style pic you posted with the ramair I hood though.Just my opinion though.Personally I think the ramairII hood looks very nice on the 91-92 model firebirds. Just my 2 cents.

 

To me, I just think the Ram Air II hoods, should have all 4 nostrils, not just 2. Looks unfinished, to me.

If my Tahoe could have all 4, no reason a 3rd gen couldn't.

My little hole in space...

 

Personally I think the twin turbo hood would look bad a** on a T/A...never seen a hood like that on a T/A before! Come to think of it I hardly see T/As here as well ! Let me know if purchasing it would be a good idea! L8R
:Cool:

 

you seem to be picking all the hoods that belong on a camaro lol....go 2" cowl...they look pretty good. i love the raI and II hoods on t/a's

 

Yea, that defintely looks like a daytona hood from when the IROCs raced. Check out http://www.carhoods.com/ and look for '82-'92 Camaro Daytona hood. Runs about $450 primed.

 

Ok I think I found it If you go in the aftermarket parts review in the sticky thread for fiberglass ground kits and other stuff. check out the link for OTP. It looks pretty close.

 

 

Yeah thats the hood N Damn does tha body kit look off the chain!

 

You can get the ASCD Daytona Turbo for Firebirds here http://www.americansportscardesigns.com/

I know someone that has that hood on a Firebird and it looks good. Here is a pic of mine although it is a Camaro. Perfect fit and no problems. Bought in 2001.

 

You want to put that on your car- WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Still available here: http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/fi...8292pics1.html

Known as the Daytona hood, was also part of the IMSA package, I think. Better than a whale tail

 

i think that on a t/a the ram air I or the ram air II look the best. just make sure you make it functional

 

Yeah! looking at the daytona hood, it does sorta look funky on the t/a; I was willing to settle for one because the ram air hoods are bieng played out ...too many ppl have the already! I have my eye set on the Stingray (left) and super duty hood ( right) here are some pics:

 

To me, the 4th gen SS good belongs on Camaros, not Firebirds.

For a Firebird, I'd say Ram Air I for pre-90s. Ram Air II for 91/92s. I think those fit the lines the best.

G&T has CLAIMED they are making the Jongbloed hood for Firebirds, for about 3 months now. I was waiting n one, but I'm not waiting anymore, besides...they hardly ever answer phone calls, only answer half their emails, and as far as Customer Reviews, they usually get bad ones. No thanks.

At least Hawks get more good than bad, answer emails EVERY SINGLE TIME, , and actually come on here, and respond.

 

Never seen those jonglboed hoods before....where do they sell those?

 

Nowhere...I Photochopped those pics!

G&T CLAIMS to be working on them. I've been talking to them about making a Pontiac Jongloed hood, then sent them those pics MONTHS & MONTHS ago after they asked for them, and they said they would produce them, but the customer reviews on TGO have gone from bad, to down right shitty, so I'm not holding my breath anymore. Even if they DO make them, I'm spending my $ elsewhere.

-=-Steve

 

WTF???? Ill be honest though....they dont look bad at all! especially the one with the vents! i'd get me one real quick if it was available!

 

From me Depending on how much you want to pay, check out the hood it's on the car right now my pics are at www.myspace.com/jimmyrigs hoods in good shape needs corners by windshield fixed but not bad at all. I've tried finding them before and can't pretty sure it is an older aftermarket hood but they are nice.

 

I still think the Daytona hood is the best aftermarket hood for the third gen Firebird. The Ram Air and the 4th gen WS6 looking hoods just seem too bubbly for the third gen body. The Daytona isn't much different than a normal cowl besides the vents down the sides there.

It is also pretty cool being able to see the top of your engine while you're driving down the road.

 

I just think the vents look rediculously *****. Too much going on to look all that good.

 

Yeah that's fugly, on a thirdgen bird I would go with any of the stock hoods, or possibly a Ram Air I 93-97 Style, and the Harwood 2" cowl isn't bad either

 

Not to be a picky s.o.b. but the ram air and 4th gen WS6 hoods are crossed off my list....they look just too damn bulgy for the boxy shape that the 3rd gens have. Right now I'm leaning towards the superduty hood; not too bulgy and the lines seem to fit the boxy shape perfectly....just my opinion. Any body know of any rare or uncommon aftermarket hoods for 3rd gen t/a's?

Thanx

 

Post up a pic of this Super Duty hood. I wanna see which one you are talking about.

The WS6 hood does look "bulgy" to me, not to mention, it only has 2 nostrils, when there should be 4. I think the Ram Air 1 hood,93-97 style, fits our bodies good. Not too high, and the rectangular-ish openings, fit our 85-980 bodies/noses good.

 

Heres a pic of the hood stephen:

 

Ive posted this picture before...

Im giving this hood a try. Its the harwood 3". I know harwood gets a bad rap for fitment, but I think most of those people think its going to bolt on and be perfect. Gotta take the time to make it line up.



I think with the areo spoiler it will flow even better.

Also, that "jonglboed " hood... That looks Kinds like the IMSA hood. Sort of like the formula power bulge hood, but with two bulges instead of one. It would be cool if they came out with it..but Im still not sure it "works". Too bubbly and curvy for the front of the birds. But thats just my opinion...and it could turn out looking fantastic. Ide like to see an actual hood tho as opposed to the photoshop.

J.

P.S.... Oh and no way on that first hood. UGh....

 

Ah....By the name 'Super Duty', I expected something Ford. Like the zFord Sper Duty trucks. It's just a 4th gen Camaro SS hood.

That would be fine on Camaros, but not Firebirds. To me, Camaros should stay Camaro, Firebirds should stay Firebird.

Of course, there are the universal things, like cowl induction, but I don't like those on Firebirds either.

I like the way the 93-97 Ram Air fits the existing "grooves" in the hood, running from the edge of the parking lights, back to the windshield.

 

I am with noahTHEpurdy, those holes on the side look like something that I thought was cool when I was 15. No offense to the guy running it, I just think it makes the car look like a$$, and cheap too.

I like the classy look of a cleanly installed cowl. It doesn't scream to get looked at, but when you do, damn they look good.

The best car modders in the world, like Chip Foose and the like say that the mods that make a car look the best are the ones you can't tell where done.

Thats how I built my car.



I bet at first glance you didn't notice:
-shaved door locks
-shaved side markers
-shaved fuel door
-shaved antenna
-no door moldings
-And of course the Cervini 3" cowl that makes a smoooth transition into the lines of the car.

Sorry for the dark pic.

 

This hood is carried by two company's i know of.One is http://www.fiberpartsconcepts.com/1289627.html

The other use to be called FX custom fiberglass.I don't know if they are still around i bought my hood for my 77 drag car from them in 1990.But the number i had is now been disconected..
