Hey guys trying to decide on a hood to go with. Im pretty much leaning toward the Ram Air II but was wondering if anyone can post a few pics of it on a firebird.

Ultra Blue or on a Vert would be a plus.


Thanks

Heres it on my TA. I love this hood, changed the car completely.







The only thing I don't like is mine isn't the best quality. It doesn't fit (line up) that great, but I bought it from an individual at a good price so can't complain. If you have the ability get it from a good source. Other then that its a great hood!

the hood opens the same? i dont want to use hood pins or anything

It could use a hood spring like stock, because it is picky on how it opens. Mine anyways, but most fiberglass hoods are like that since there isn't a provision for the spring. It still opens with the latch and everything like stock though. I just plan on getting the pins, but that's just me.

whats the advantage of the pins? obviously the disadvantage is they look retarded

Well everyone views them differently, I personally think they look good when done right. Plus you can get locking ones, which then means you can completely remove the stock latch without worrying about getting your hood opened by someone unwanted.

that is an awesome car. mine is blue im thinking of that hood with the flames on the scoops done lightly ghost style in white could be cool

i added the hood pins to mine. just beacuse once it didnt shut all the way and it flipped up on me and i didnt want to have to repair the hood again

eh, i guess the hood pins dont look that bad. how exactly do they install and what are they taking the place of?

theelite66

for me i went ahead and took out the latch and all, i didnt see a reason to have the pins and the latch. as far on installing them. all i had to do was drill a 1/2 inch hole in the rad. support and line up the hood and drilled the hole there. on the hood side there are metal plates that just screw down to dress up around the hood pins.

so anyone can come and open up your hood at any time?

theelite66

pretty much but im not to worried about it, it would be just as easy for someone to pull the latch if they want to open it. locks only keep an honest man honest

Not sure what exact hood I have...

theelite66

car looks real good like that, but that looks like the 94-97 ram air hood made for your car. i was looking at getting one for mine like that but didnt think it would look all that great, but seeing it on yours looks like i was wrong

IMHO the Ram Air I hood looks best on the pre-91 Firebirds. It lines up with the body lines much better than the Ram Air II hood. At certain angles, the Ram Air II hood doesn't look right on the car, but on the 91-92 bodies it looks spectacular. I have a Ram Air I hood on my car and the only complaint I have is that it isn't functional. It could be made functional, but it would take some work whereas the Ram Air II hood is made functional easily. It all depends on what you're looking for, aesthetics or functionality along with how much money you are willing to spend.
