Which hood do you prefer?
Do you like the Firebird Super Duty or Ram Air Hood? My pick is the Super Duty.

The SD hood looks ok, but at the same time, kinda odd too, for 2 reasons. For one, it just looks too tall compared to the rest of the car most of the time because there isn't anything as tall (ie. spoiler) anywhere else on the car to balance it out, and also, I have yet to see one with the scoop cut out of it, like most people do with the SS hood on Camaros. It looks half done without the scoop having a hole cut out in front.
IMO, a properly done Shaker scoop in a GTA hood still looks the coolest. It looks clean and classy, but really bad *** at the same time. The key to this one is "done properly" though... don't just pick up a '79 shaker and air cleaner, some sawzall blades and expect it to look good.

Yeah,I had it lying around and my aero wing was all warped so I stuck that on.I am going to get another aero wing though.I'm not all that fond of the hood either but everybody has all the other hoods.I still have my gta hood,that way I can switch back and forth between the two.
