Although I did like the way the hood on the TA on PINKS looked. Check out http://www.carolinaautomasters.com/. Its an extra large hood, but it looks good to me.

I don't think that big hood is good unless your car has the power to back it up but thats just my $.02

WS6 hood.

The monster hood would look alright if it had the huge nostrils up front, but then at the back of the hood it tapered down to the same height as the WS6 hood.

It will by the end of the year! There's just not a lot of options for an LT1 Trans Ams as far as hoods. I might scrap the hood idea and convert to a LS1 front end and a Raptor hood when I paint the car. Engine upgrade is going to most likely be a Forged 355 or 383 with a Vortech S-Trim. I was gonna try and update to and LS2 but I don't think it'll be worth the hassle and would end up costing me so much in the end I would prolly have enough money to a hefty down payment on a new GTO!

I agree with you and mostly everyone else get the the regular ws6 otherwise driving will be a problem hoods that big would create a blind spot and if you were to do the ls1 I like the regular firebird front when combined with a raptor hood

Please DON'T DO THAT!!! LT1's look good the way they are, why put an LS1 front end on it??? REPRESENT THE LT1 PROUDLY!

I say if you're going to do the engine then go for the big hood. It's different and nice, I like it.

BTW the hood on the TA that was on pinks is different and IMO looks better than both options.
