Default Opinions Needed for my TA!

I have a maroon 1993 Trans Am. I was wondering what your opinions are for the best style of ram air hood for this car. Also, I was thinking of having flames sprayed on the front. What do you guys think would be the best color to go with the maroon paint?

No to the flames, and a ws6 style ram air looks really good. A buddy of mine(pyro) has it on his formula drop and it looks sexy.

Suncoast Creations Predator hood is what I think its called.

Stock WS6 hood looks best on LT1s IMO.

Which stock WS6 hood? I've seen the style from the 1993-1997 body, and then there is the style from the 1998-2002 body. I personally like the newer one better myself, and I think it looks real sharp. The one I was leaning towards is on www.ramairhood.com

I was talking about the 98-02 hood. It looks very agressive without being hugely cowled and it doesn't scream, "I have an ego problem!"

LOL! That's a great way of putting it. I really love that hood too. I would love to convert the whole front end to the newer style, but locating all of the parts needed can be a real pain. It is expensive too! I think I will get that newer hood that is fully functional with an airbox and already painted to match. I think the whole setup is around $1000.

It'll look really good that way. Post pics of your car!

Flames would be cool . I think silver would look really good and ghosted where the color is in the tips and then fades into the maroon
