Honestly, on the right car yes, most cars no.

I like it on Chief's car because he has the shaker hood (retro) to tie it in.

I personally would LOVE to see a black Trans-Am with louvers, shaker hood, gold phoenix on the hood, metal (red and black) bird emblems on sail panels and Year One snow flake rims to round it out.

Put a diffuser on the back and have crab claws exit just passed the tires. TO ME (and I am FULL BLOODED REDNECK) that would be awesome. TO MOST I'd be shot but hell, I put a Knight Rider light on my 1987 and I'd do it to an LS1 bird if I still had one

Thanks for the compliment 6litereater. You are correct I installed both the rear window louver and the shaker for the retro look. It also has a large hood bird (the large hood bird that came on 3rd gen Trans Ams fits perfect in the space around the shaker) and pillar birds to go with it. I also had part of the rear bumper painted (CETA mod) and molding on the side of the doors painted black to match the louver. If any of you are considering a shaker scoop you should seriously check out the functional 6LE design. It's whats installed on my car.

i put the knight rider lights on my red 99, i also put a keyfob remote on the system so i can do whatever i want with it from outside the car... and i think its cool as hell.. i was a die hard knight rider fan as a kid so i just had to do it...

Looks great! Does it interfere with air? I maybe will do somthing like this but in the lower nostrils. I saw a similar setup at Ebay but it is priced at $279!! Too much money for some blinking lights! LOL!

you have to remove the block off plate and the air handlers behind the grills, then put the block off plate back in... then you mount the lights to the plate ... honestly, you could completely cover the inlets and it wouldnt make a bit of difference to the car... seriously.. dont let anyone tell you different... its not a sealed system so it really doesnt matter... if you saw what is in the stock hoods air box you would ****.... i got mine from ebay but i added the same remotes he would have for 279.. you can get theme for 28 bucks and do them yourself... do some research on the price of the sanguino processor, 2 ultrabright led bars, remote kit and all materials plus your time to assemble and program it... he didnt make much money off it... maybe $70.
