Don't know much bout trans ams. But I don't think you can change the hood.
Could be possible if you change the bumper and maybe the fenders too.
Look around you can probably get an aftermarket hood for your car that looks like the ls1 trans am..


98-02 trans am front end looks badass

Not without doing the whole "LS1 front end conversion." If you look at the headlights on the LT1 and then the LS1 you can see how differently shaped that hoods are.

As stated above, not possible without doing the front bumper swap too.
