Just bought a used fiberglass Suncoast Ram air hood for my 99 T/A. When I installed it, I pushed it as far foward as I could in those round holes on the hinge bracket before tightening them down. I notice there is about a 1/4 inch gap between the inner left and inner right front bumper (beside the headlights) and the hood. The center front of the hood fits down over the center of the bumper nicely, and there is about a 1/4 inch gap between the hood and the headlights. Is there a way to adjust the front bumper to "perk itself up" a tiny bit that I'm missing? Any ideas?? It doesn't look horrible, but I'd like it to look right.

Also... any idea how much I could expect to pay for a nice looking complete car paint job?

Thx all! L8r

FWIW i bought an unpainted oem WS6 hood prototype for my 95 T/A and it needed some minor repairs including fixing a hole in the hood (which was why it was a prototype) and they also had to repair the corners because it had been sitting straight up.

anyway, it was around $300 to get the hood painted and repaired

if the hood needs to go foward more u need to notch the hindges out till it fits right

Hi.
If you could please pm me your email address, I'll send you a copy of a article High Performance Pontiac did on one of our ws6 style hoods...this should help you troubleshoot and fit your suncoast hood as well.
