Default Any interest in a new LT1 WS6 hood?
Would there be any interest in a new style LT1 WS6 hood? There is no middleground between stock and the 4 inch hoods, this would be it. The idea would be the stock openings at the front and then gradually extend into a 3 inch cowl that extended to the windshield. Thoughts and opinions are welcome

It would probalbly make the car look kinda weird cause the nose is already kinda steep so this would highlight it. I would like something different but Im not too good with coming up with new ideas.

The idea is to have it be like Joe Overtons old 4 inch hood, but obviously an inch shorter and slope down to stock nostrils. Heres a pic for reference

I like it. How hard would it be to change my cowl hood to that?

It would take a lot of cutting/bondoing. Im not even sure the WS6 nostrils are sold individually, i know LS nostrils are everywhere

/\ No offence to anyone that has that hood but in my opinion that is one of the ugliest hood they make for our cars.

I don't think that anyone can make a better looking hood for the LT1 TA's and Firebirds than the SLP style Ram Air. By far, the best looking TA and Firebird that they have made! JMO

I was thinking more a cowl myself If I had a bird but probably wider and not as high, like the one for the camaro that goes wide and not very high for the 98-02

I think the factory hood looks great, just wish they would have given us functional heat extractors.

No i do not mean like the Predator/Warbird hoods. It would literally be the 4 inch hood with an inch cutoff the cowl and stock nostrils up front

My bad, I read new LT1 WS6 hood and that's just where my mind went. Crossover between LT1 and new style WS6 hood.
