Get a new ram air hood fiberglass from gtautos or a cowl hood from somewere check the local J-yards, you really don't want to pay for shipping on a steel hood.

I think i have found one ,i was also told that one from the earlier yrs will work but you have to change the headlight doors cause they are different from later model ones as far as the fit of the hood to the doors just what i was told is all?

Earlier yrs fit w/no problems. The 91-92 yrs won't fit because of the headlights.

I don't think it would really be worth shipping it--too damn expensive. It's a steel hood. I'm in NJ/Pa.

82-84 TA and 87-92 Formula Hoods are all the same... Or at least they use the same part number.

Find an aluminum one, thats where its at

I've seen lots of cases on these boards where people have problems with leaks on their '82-'84 T/A hoods (myself included). Might wanna try to find a Formula hood...? Just a suggestion.
