Default Lower Ram Air Grills

I've searched and checked the net and all Ive seen are people who have "made" their lower grills. So Im guessin theres no company that makes the lower Ram Air Grills for Firebird/Trans Am?

Always thought it looked a lil wierd with just the grills in the top of the hood and none in the lower.

Wouldnt it be kinda hard to open the hood with more things blocking the latch?

The hood does pop up a lil, so I really dont see a reason that you wouldnt be able to get to the latch. Plus the lower grills could be shaved down abit on the top edge to give enough space to get to the latch and still be functional and look good.

Yea, I know. I just wanted to show you what it could look like. I may purchase some ABS Plastic Honeycomb material and make one though.
