Default 93-97 Trans am hood

Looking for a cowl hood with no ram air holes. I'd like it to go back all the way to the windshield. I can only find the ram air style like this


I like this one but I can't find it in fiberglass, just carbon fiber

That's exactly how I feel but I can't find one like that in fiberglass
There's not to many options out there from what I'm seeing.

What's wrong with carbon fiber? It's stronger than fiberglass and lighter than aluminium.

I guess if it wasn't $1200 I'd be all over it and paint it red but I'm not trying to spend that much on a hood.

Buy that ginormous Ram Air hood you posted and have the nostrils fiberglassed in and smoothed over, ORRRRRRRR buy this cowl and have it molded to your hood.

It appears that no one is currently making cowl hoods for the 4th gen Birds.

no such thing as a factory 93-95 ram air hood. the firehawk hood was the only ram air hood in 93-94 and the WS6 hood came out in 95 on the comp t/a only by SLP (essentially a firehawk in trans am skin) the same hood for the 95-97 comp t/a was then used on the 96-97 WS6 and some 96-97 firehawks (they started running out of the firehawk style hood)

ASC made a cowl, I was talking to Rex about making another one, but unfortunately he passed away before it got any where. I have a production 95 Firehawk hood, cowl would be cool because you can clear a nice elbow off a single plane with some ease. Only other option if the big VFN bird catcher hood.
