my car is lowered. On top of that and being on the brakes hard, I kinda went right under the back of her buick. She just pulled out right in front of me. Didnt even look.

I like the SS hood, but I think its too wide at the top. If they made a more narrow version, I would be all over it. I also like small cowls, like 2 1/4"- 2 1/2". I don't like them too big, such as the 4" ones.

Cowl hoods look best. This one on my old 88 is a 2 1/4 Unlimited hood.

you can't improve on perfection, there's merely alternatives!

but, if i didn't have a 91 or for some *** forsaken reason something were to happen ss here i come............. :hail:

no only if it wouldn't cost me 2 g's to paint one to match my car i would do it anyway. they don't make carbon fiber ss hoods do they? that way i could look like an import!

On Firebirds I like the Stock hood on Formulas and 82-84 T/A's hands down. Interestingly they had the same hood on a 80-81 T/A with the Turbo too.

I think they actually designed the Firebirds around that hood design...
