Default 1999 Trans Am Aftermarket Hood?

Who makes the best looking aftermarket ram air hood? I need one for my 1999 Trans Am. Also where do I get the plastic insert grilles for the hood? The car looks naked without ram air.

VFN or UsExotics.

Vfn is a sponsor here and has been known to make great hoods and Us Exotics sells on ebay. Both are hand made from what I know and fitment its great.

Suncoast makes the raptor. I have herd different things about them. Some fit some dont. So its kinda luck i guess.

SLPs Ws6 hood is going to fit perfect but it can be expensive to find a nice one.

Ok I think VFN is the way to go because they are like 15 min away from me. So thanks for all the help.

I would get a WS9 hood and sell those C6 rims lower your car and then get better rims! I know it's your car and your style but I just don't like the look of C6 rims on Fbody's.....

But GL on the hood!

Save some shipping cost and maybe they'd even help you install it.
