I am trying to decide wheather or not I should put on RAM AIR hood on my car it looks kinda like this right now or Should I Keep it stock?:

 

i like the stock look myself,

 

Stock

 

if its functional, go ram air

 

If you have to ask then I'd say no. Keep it clean.

 

Forgot to mention it also has T-tops

 

if you can get true ram air, then its worth it, but its more noicable at highway speeds....DUH, just stick your hand out the window when you are driving, now think of that being forced into a scope.......or ride with a friend and hold a bag open and stick it out the window, you will realize how good ram air can be

 

Stock, ram air hoods are ugly on thirdgen. If you want some type of cold air induction, rig up some sort of scoop below the bumper where it isnt visible. Ram air hoods are meant for 4th gens, not 3rd gens IMO.

 

the ram air 1 hood looks good, but i cant stand the ram air 2, dont even like that hood on a fourth gen.

 

I second that! Stock, with cold air from below, or RA 1, but not RA 2, unless you can get a RA 2 hood, with all 4 openings, like my Tahoe had.

I totally disagree with you stagefright.My 89 has been modified to the 91-92 style with the ramair II style hood and rear spoiler and I think that it looks as good as it can.I am on opposites because I think the ramair I looks like crap on these cars.Anyway,just my opinion but I personnally like the ramairII hood

 

maybe just personal preferrance,I love the look of a ramairII hood on my 92 t/a clone,hate the ramairI on any thirdgen,and sorry Stephen I really don't like the hood on that tahoe.Looks pretty ugly IMO.Just my opinion though,I am sure you love it, and I think thats all that matters.

 

Honestly, I really prefer the stock hoods on all thirdgens over most any aftermarket hoods. I had to go with an aftermarket hood to clear my Stealth Ram, so I went with the Ram Air I and a 4th Gen T/A style spoiler. I couldn't decide between the RAI and RAII but after I looked at several cars in pictures and in real life I decided the RAII was just too tall, especially for my '92 bumper/GFX style, although the RAII can look great when done right. If you don't need the clearance and your hood is in good shape stick with the stocker.



Good luck with whatever route you choose!!

car looks great btw did you get the screens for the hood, cant tell from the picture

 

Thanks very much! No, I don't have screens for the scoops. The guy I bought the hood from said he'd tried to get them and ASCD sent him screens for a RAII hood which he used on his RAII hood, but I have not yet tried to get the screens. I may make something myself...
