Thanks for posting those pics. Fitment actually looks decent. Design doesn't quite fit the firebird.

On a Trans AM it does nothing for me at all. On the Camaro though it looks great. Not much going on with the front end of the Camaro so it fits.

Looks much better on the 93-97 TA, definitely garbage on the 98-02!

Thinking about the Camaro one for heat extraction... surprised no one has pulled the trigger on this yet.

Need Eye Bleach, what a travesty. It actually looks as bad as a Pontiac style RAM AIR hood does on a Camaro.

Thanks for the pics guys. Besides this one, I haven't found a hood yet that can actually vent some heat out the engine bay. I've talked to VPN and they have no interest in making one. A vented sonoco style would be sweet.

Some one else i follow on IG, and im pretty sure is on here too, has a sunoco hood that he added the 5th gen hood vent to it.

It looks ok on the LT1 Bird but I am not digging it on the LS1 Bird.

Second that. Only thing I would change on is moving the vent closer to the front covering the space between the radiator and motor.

The only thing wrong with the stingray hood, is that it is styled like a stingray. If they would have made it unique to the Camaro it might work better.

Let's all put some pressure on VFN to produce a Vented Sunoco!
