Camaro SS-style hood on 91-92 Firebird??

I see that Hawk's has an SS-style hood for Firebirds that they refer to as the "Super Duty". But, the only picture available shows it mounted on 85-90 style TA.

I always thought this type of hood would look good on a 91-92 style TA or Firebird but I've never actually seen one.

Anyone have one or at least a pic?

LOL, I should have done a forum search before starting this thread......

Apparently, by asking this question, I run the risk of starting a holy war hahaha!!!

Sorry in advance to all the purists, just wondering what it would look like

Look on Omnipotent Goku's Gallery. I'm sure you'll find one there.

Well, its 2 years later and I finally got around to Photoshopping it.

Thanks to iansane for letting me use his car as my guinea pig.

What do you guys think? Personally I think it looks pretty good. The Ram Air I looks a little better in my opinion but this is a pretty good alternative. FYI, the hood in the pic is from a 96 Camaro SS. It is not the hood from Hawk's. There might be some differences as I have never looked at the two of them side by side.

That's because I have the artistic abilities of a dead baboon.

That's a hot car.

I was never a fan of the super duty hood. Seemed WAY too big to me. I'd definitely like to see an SS replica though.
