A friend of mine had the same hood on his 95 black Trans am and yeah it looked down right mean. You may have seen his car before his names Steve and he used to live around the Killeen/Ft. hood area and some times went to the drag strip.

Looks good, I wanted the ASCD cowl but they stopped making them, I e-mailed Rexx about it, but then he passed away.
