i am looking for a hood for my 89 Firebird to give it a more agressive apearance.

I was planning on getting the Ram Air Hood from www.ramairhood.com, but after looking at it for a while it looks a little plain and boring, and not very agressive.

What do you guys reccomend?

 

Power Bulge hood.

 

diddo

 

Yup, I like the bulge hood. It's my favourite hood, after the stock one that I have:

 

Another vote for the power bulge here.

 

One more vote for the Powerbulge.

 

anther vote for the powerbuldge

 

I love the bulge. Glad it came on my formy. I never liked cowls before but a nice 1" or 2" cowl would look good on a bird.

 

power buldge all the way , i would ahve gotten that if i didnt get this.

 

ram-air, looks cool:lala:

 

either the RA1 or the bulge

 

I like this one. But that is just me. Very few people like it.

 

Power Bulge....

 

another for Power Bulge, i love it even more after trying to get my ram air 1 hood to look right.

 

Ha! Hell yeah... im getting the feeling that the Powerbulge is the popular vote

 

Ram Air 2

I'm a symmetrical kinda guy

 

Power Bulge...there is something about the asymmetry

 

2" cowl here for my vote!

 

I cant beleive so many ppl like the powerbulge hood..
I have one but I want to have a RAII hood...maybe I can sell mind for some extra $ if theres a market.
RAII vote for me

 

Put me down for the power bulge.

 

Chalk me up for the power bulge.

 

POWER BULGE that or the ram air I is

 

Great Minds think alike.

 

I like mine

 

I like this one too!!!

 

I can't believe no one has said the nostril hood yet. That is my favorite.

Did anyone say Powerbulge yet????..........

 

I like my hood the best so far because I've never seen it on any other cars.

1st place: my hood
2nd place: RA I hood
3rd place: Formula hood
4th place: TA hood or that turbo corvette hood

That is a weird hood 4mul8r, but weird in a factory sense, not looks. I like it, it is very original. I have never seen a t/a with that hood. Are you sure it is stock?

It was on the car when I bought it,....but it definately isn't factory. It's fiberglass, fairly thick, and damn light. I have no idea who makes this hood or where the hood was bought. One of the things I like best about it is that it looks like a formula hood with a mirred bulge on it,....which I was thinking about that idea when I had my 89 Formula,....(although my concept was to incorporate the iroc louvers into the bulges).....probably a good thing I got my TA before I attempted it though....

 

That's the hood I want, but I can't seem to find one like that.

 

word
i was just about to send that pic to you, zepher. i told you i had seen someone on here with that hood.

it is tight!:hail:

 

its a double bulge cowl hood lol sounds kinda funny but looks badass in red :rockon:

 

1 vote for the IMSA (double powerbuldge) hood.

 

Power buldge!

 

T/A/GTA hood

 

Had a accident, so had to change my hood, had a tough decision between ram air and power bulge. Actually having a functional ram air hood with K&N air filter really makes a difference in performance and gas mileage as compared to just power bulge hood. I got a gain of 1.5 miles after having ram air.

 

fiberglass hood with 4" cowl

 

the lines on the firebird and the hood are perfect.we need to find out who makes them.is it a one off?

 

1st choice powerbulge hood.
2nd choice stock hood
3rd choice stock hood w/big firebird decal
4th choice double bulge
5th choice ra2

 

I liked the 2" cowl that was up there... it just looked right. The powerbulge looks tough too.

IMO, the RA hoods just look too... too.... too big on these cars. Just my $0.02

 

i havent replied on this site forever so be glad i was just passing by. now they have a pic of it at the bottom but i didnt really want to search for a part number. so if they have it or not i couldnt tell you either.

oh and i favor the imsa hood

 

I like the WS-6 style one

 

It looks like the one on the red t/a is an old pro-am hood, hard to tell from the angle...

 

well for pre 91 i saw power bulge or RA1. The RA2 only looks good on the 91-92 because of the nose of the car.

 

Hy guys,
I am looking for a hood that have twin style air ducts on each side for my GTA. I remember seeing one for the Camaro, but not sure if its also available for TA's. Also the Camaro hood I saw had a strange cowl induction in the middle with slots on each side which I personally dislike. Does anyone knows of a company that makes a GTA style hood but with just the air inlets on each side? I dont mind if it dosent includes brackets for lifting or if there is no way of using the pivoting lifting brackets with this new hood, in fact I would preffer to use pins instead to hold it down.

 

I know that you can get that IMSA hood from Motion Glass. I almost bought that one back in the middle 90's for my 82, but goth that "Twin-Turbo" one instead. Since trying to get that hood to fit, I have never even looked into getting another aftermarket hood. I would like to see someone come up with a C5 style scoop for the Firebirds though. I think that would be just enough attitude on there. I have to say that my favorite hood is the stock GTA (4-vent) hood. The powerbulge hood is cool, but a little too 80's for my taste. I know, these CARS are 80's, but I just think it looks dated that's all.

 

RA I hood on the 91-'92 birds!!

 

since we are talking hoods here, is it safe to use regular hood struts on fiberglass hoods?

 

Get the ones for a 82 bird because they came with fiberglass hoods from the factory.
