Some cars it bolts right on.. other have to "massage" it to work. Yes, with a little work or not you can make it work.

I believe the user "java" on here put one on his T/A. I think he had to offset it to the rear by drilling new holes. You may want to contact him about that.

I went with a WS6 hood too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You can also cutout the "nose" on the stock firebird hood... make a "stealth" ram air..

Lower WS6 airbox fit fine on my T/A with Direct Flo Lid, you don't have to get an ugly hood to make it work.
