Default Trans Am Hoods

Ok, I'm not making this thread to start any sort of bashing on any brands of hoods. I have a real question so if you don't have anything constructive to add then don't post.


I am wondering what are all of the current hood choices for the trans am? I know that vfn has a few "street" bolt on hoods, but I want to know what else is out there besides the factory style hoods. The search didn't come up with much helpful info.

If you want a Ram Air style go with a Trufiber. I got mine from them and it looks awesome. When i took it to the body shop they said it didnt require too much prep cause they had done a good job making it and it fitted right up. If you live near anaheim you can go up and pay cash and pick it up. I did and paid 300.00 for the hood.

Check out the Trufiber hoods we sell. The quality is great and they also have heat extractors at no additional cost. You can see pictures in our online catalog.

Thanks!
