Any updates? I've been searching the web for over 3 months and still haven't found a picture. I'm beginning to think it doesn't exist, lol. One thing I can't stress enough, NOT A FORMULA! Something with gfx; either the T/A or the base Firebird with the aero package. I've seen the hood on 90 and lower Firebirds and GTAs and think they look great. If I never see what the Ram Air II hood looks like on the 91 or 92 models I'll have to go with the regular Ram Air hood from ASCD. (Cause I know they look kick ***) Thanks.

Nope. I've seen that done before. That's the Ram Air hood by ASCD. Nice try.

found that pic on ebay.

Hey,
I sold a few of my hoods to the 91-92 guys. I will email them and try to get a pic to show you. I think it will look good with the way that nose pc comes down. I myself like the 91-92 nose better then the early ones.

soulbounder

Thanks gt auto. To me, I remember seeing one out there with the hood and gfx and it looked good but that was a long time ago. If you can ever get your hands on a pic please post or email soulbounder@yahoo.com I love the nose too, that's why I chose a 91'

there is a guy on this board that does have this hood on 91,92 style

un4givin89

Could I stick that hood on my camaro?

soulbounder

Yes, you could get the hood like that for the camaro if that's what you like. 72, I saw that pic on the other post. Do you happen to remember who it was that had the hood on a 91 or 92? Thanks

ONEFINE8T9

that hood on the black ta doesnt come close to lineing up with the factory ujst like all the RA2's i have seen.

72BuickGSX

well thats becuase i have not fastand the hood yet its just sitting there, becuase the fenders and front nose are just on by a few bolts and need adjusting to, i had a formula got the trans effects, the hood is actually not even sitting all the way down as you can see from the pic just showing what it looks like on the car

I just was curious....did you buy that hood, or make it? I like it...i've looked at a couple RA hoods made out of fiberglass by different companies...yours looks like metal....if you fabricated that, how'd you do it?

ummm i know its a formula , i just got the effects to put on it, not trying to make it a transam wouldnt want a trans, the formulas are a lighter car with same preformace,and to be exact you see less formula350 cars then you do transams, and when i finish with the car i will put formual350 back on the door,

highspeedfreak

Umm - could someone tell me where to get a hood like the one in the second pic - or the purple camaro in the post " umm ..wow " under appearence and detail!!!

Or give me the address of someone who deals with the Ram air hoods!!!

Plz

Thanks

Ok i saw the RAM AIR II HOOD at www.usbody.com

But there are 2 types available:

1. Light weight
2. Heavy duty techhood

Which is better - or what are the pros and cons of each style??? Are they reliable for a long time (10-20 years) - or are there gonna be small cracks forming here and there???

And finally if i were to take it to a body shop (to make an opening - cause i know ill mess it up - and all the installation procedures) and then to a paint shop - how much $'s are we talking about??? And would the paint shop be able to match it to the teal color on my car (which is in good condition - pic can be seen in member profiles) - or would i need to have the whole car rebuffed or something???

If anyone who has got one - or anyone with info plz let me know!!!

Cause the hood costs $589 - and i dont wanna purchase something blindly???

Thanks

Kinda sad that people are in such a hurry to mod their cars after a current trend. Trendy aftermarket appearance parts ALWAYS get a dated look. Case in point, look at anything Erebuni sells, or any of the ASCD parts for thirdgens. The only hood that comes close to looking good is the ASCD firebird ram air hood, and only then because its a clone of a factory hood. The RAII hood is modelled after an ugly car... Whats worse, on a thirdgen it doesn't even match the body lines... Put an ugly clashy part on a worn out thirdgen, and think its the greatest thing ever? not my idea.

gt auto

The camaro hood will be ready to sell in about 3-4 weeks. It will look like the ram air II hood.

soulbounder

Drew, I totally understand what you are saying. I really really really like the way the stock hood on my 91 Firebird looks. That's why I requested a picture of usbody's RAII hood on a 91 or 92 bird with gfx. I'm afraid that it might look out of place but then again, the nose piece is flat and smooth so I dunno. If the hood ever comes it will not be for a long long time, lol.

Some people really need to get a life...but I won't mention any names.

GT Auto Hood looks PHAT on my worn out(LMMFAO) Turdgen. Nothing but positive comments this weekend at the CarCraft Nationals in the Twin Cities.

not sure if I like it on the 91-92, I really like it on the 85-90 cause the nostrils line up perfectly with the raised part between the headlight areas.

soulbounder

Yea, I've seen that pic of the formula. Still looking for one on a TA or firebird though.

oh man!! cmon, the hood don't look don't look that bad on a 85-90 model... to me, it wouldn't go good with a stock firebird or camaro, but with rims, etc it will look like a sleeper.... don't get me wrong, stock 3rd gens look great, but some want more....

maverick544

hey guys whats the official price on that RAII hood, I know its like $600+ but how much offiallly.

redbird_400

Anybody got a pic of that hood on the front of 89 Bird?

Nasty_Bird_'90

i have a 90 T/A look-alike and am debating the ram air II hood. you guys have any more pics of an 85-90 t/a in bright red? ijust think they go better with the lines of the 91-9 models.

here you go!!! <------ my wife

That hood doesn't look like a good fit on that car. Is it just that car or would it be that off on all 91-92 firebirds?

19WS6T/A91

it would be off on all birds. i had a ram air II hood and gt auto told me(after weeks of trying to fix the problem) that his mold was 7/16 of an inch off. that was too much for me so i sent mine back.(and somehow all of the pics with the hood on my t/a were deleted so i cant even help out with the pics.

mike1986fyrbird

I like the Ram Air 2 hoods on all the birds, Gives it a more Agressive look. If my next car is a bird, that hood is going on.
