SHAKER HOODS for 1998+ Firebird/Formula/Trans Am ON SALE NOW!!!
This product went on the back burner due to selling our Trans Am but it's ready to show off now...
Basically we designed a Shaker Hood that we modeled the Shaker opening off of the bumper opening so it doesn't look like an afterthought.
The hood mold is done and production pieces out of it, test fit GREAT!!! Best fitting hood I've seen.
The shaker itself on the other hand is too small so we're remaking it 1.5" bigger so it will look perfect.
That should be done in the next two weeks but in the meantime we're posting a pre-sale $100 OFF to start getting some mold costs back...
Here's some pics of the production piece with the smaller shaker (that's getting changed)...
It comes with the shaker piece we designed after the shape of the front bumper cut out (we wanted a shaker but we wanted it to look factory designed, not like an old school shaker add on) BUT we made it big enough so that if you want you CAN use the different types of 70's style shakers, they WILL clear the opening...
It comes well packaged with everything you need to mount the hood to the car and the shaker to the engine (non-function but mounts to the engine, not the hood, so it actually shakes... to make it functional we sell an air box, tubing, radiator cover, etc.. on our site)
And so you have a comparison of what the FINISHED DESIGN THAT YOU ARE ORDERING will look like, here's the prototype/too small shaker...
And here's a (not that great) photoshop of what it will look like taller (finished piece will actually look taller than this, it is 1.5" taller than the prototype and fits the car perfectly)...
WE ARE STILL FINISHING THE TALLER SHAKER. This is a PRE-ORDER (hence the price discount) BUT the hood mold is already finished and production pieces have come out of it. We expect to finish the shaker within the next week so please expect 2-4 weeks before shipment... Thanks!

Again, ORDER NOW to get it at the marked down price of $695 ($100 off what the normal price will be so we can actually make a profit and pay off the molds) which we're doing out of HOPE people will send us painted PICTURES of the hood installed for our site !

This could be a nice addition for me. I wanted something different on my 00 TA. Could look really good on my black TA...I need paint anyway. Just need some funds to match.
Any pics how it mounts on intake? Is there some sort of seal around the hood opening, like in the stock 6.6 TAs?
I like this. I can see the nice black paint and flat black shaker hood area.Hmmm

I'm pretty sure not any vinyl shop could make that hood bird. I've had custom vinyl decals made and its a pain when you don't have the file to not only print the 3-color pattern, but to cut it as well. Especially on such an elaborate design.
I just wasn't sure if you had access to the file for the bird and were going to source them out to compliment the hood. I'll have to take it to my local sign shop that I work with and see what he says.
You talking about the prototype hood?
Thanks.

Well actually I think that might look cool if you have your intake painted a cool color or something, like that guy on here that has the SOM WS.6 and has his calipers and intake painted SOM to match. It would look pretty cool in that case.

Did a revised shaker scoop ever get finished? I think the only thing that might be keeping people away is that they haven't seen it with the revised scoop maybe?
I've got the money for the hood, i'm still trying to find a place to do the decal. If I can't get a place to do the decal the right way then there is no point in me getting the hood...sad to say.

Any interest in a HERITAGE TRANS AM style SHAKER HOOD?
We're making it one way or the other (we're finishing the Sunoco style wide body for Camaros and already have the bumper being molded so we plan to make a Sunoco clone AND a Heritage clone, do a few cross country road trips like the Gathering and just have fun in them) but I was seeing if there was any interest in us popping a mold off the hood.
For those that don't know, this is what I'm talking about...
The hood should be done end of the month IF we finish a few other projects first. Then we do the bumper and rear side pieces then figure out that damn spoiler lol.
We just need to know if there's any interest in the hood (would be the hood and the shaker for $650 + shipping, we'd limit it to ten at first, as we have to stock them, and if they don't sell well scrap it) so we know if we need to mold it or slap it on a car.
Any interest?
