Agreed. I do, however, think that the Ram Air 1 hood (LT1 style) looks outstanding on thirdgen firebirds.

I think the general stance/attitude of the car dictates whether or not that hood looks good. Im not usually a fan of 4th gen spoilers on a 3rd gen...but the spoiler, plus the RAII hood looks pretty good I think. There are a couple guys running around with that combo. One guy has sunburst orange as his color and it looks fantastic.

Hope he doesnt mind...





Very tolerable....

I just sold one, I think they look good on base model firebirds and formulas, but not trans ams.

Even that hood might not clear the truck Maggie. The throttle body is way over to the right and up. The Speartech car has the throttle body adapter cut and welded to be lower and aim down.
