Identify This Fiberglass Firebird/Trans Am Cowl Induction Hood

I bought this after seeing this posted on Craigslist. I believe its 2 1/2" or 3" and I paid $200 for it. Now my question is, who makes/made it?

Also, if anyone has this exact hood on there 85-90 Trans Am post up some pics. I have it installed on my car already, but its one color and my car is another so I cant get the full affect of what itll look like lol.

Yup thats the hood. Looks good on your car, you put the hood pins on it?

Anyone else have this hood? Id still like to see what itll look like painted the same color as the car.
