Default Third Gen Question

I saw a Thrid Gen TA today and it had a hood on it that looked like the 96-97 Ram Air hood scoops. The car looked really nice and the hood was really cool looking. It may sound tacky but it looked nice. Is there a company that makes them? Or did this guy just have a really good body man. It fit right and looked awesome. Thanks.

There's a company or two making them, two different versions actually. They're called the ram air 1 and ram air 2 hoods, one's bigger than the other. Fiberglass, look alright, although the bigger one doesn't look that great.

This one looked like the stock height of the 4th gen. But they even blended the cut line down the center so it matched the nose. Pretty sweet.

That's the bigger version, I forget what site has the smaller one (that looks better IMO).

No this one looked a lot better and it was also further forward. I am beginning to think he just had a good body guy.

It's called the Ram Air I hood. 96-97 style. Several sites have them for thirdgens.
