Interesting. Those old shaker hoods were pretty cool.

I think this shaker hood idea could be sick with the right setup.

Any t/a, firebird , or ws6 with the flat hood and this shaker hood scoop would look good as long as the car sticks with that muscle car theme.


I just had a mental picture of a black ws6, gold year one rims (new old school ones) and a shaker hood with a gold bird on the hood. now that would be bad a$$. Photoshop Anyone?

Man, I would love to have something like that on my car. It would be worth buying a flat hood just to do it...lol

Awesome! If this works out with the stock hood I may look into getting one. Still cursing my superhawk hood everytime I look at the nose. I could find a stock flat hood pretty easy.. I bet someone would even trade me . But again me buying woudl rely on two things, it working with a stock metal hood (to keep cost reasonable) and if I never find a way to make my bumper line up with both the headlights and the hood somehow.. lol. anyone up for helping me shorten my car an inch? LOL

I love the spoiler. Not for my car, but works on that one.

there's a camaro near my parents house with a stick on shaker. i think that part of it looks pretty decent. but the rest (a v6 convertable with big dual tips and ground effects) looks disgusting.

Interesting idea.

I might be in, but I'm not going to say 100% at this moment.

I've got to finish my current project before I drop more money other places.


Would you be able to make this work with an 85mm MAF?

You know what. The more I see this, the more I like it.

Assuming the finished product looks good, it will be my next (non-H/C related) mod!
