mfewtrail Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Found this on clubgp, it might not look too bad once the hood is painted. I was thinking about a "cowl" type scoop to put on my '93 in the future, but I no longer need one with what I have planned for the car. I would have extended the cowl out further and made it wider than that one for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 On your 93, do you have the B4U kit on it? For my 92 I'm adding the 94-96 kit on mine. It would look a lot better if you had the kit on to go with that hood. But personally, that hood doesnt do anything for me. I'd rather get a hood with an intake.

My 93 only has the "BYP" kit, and it's staying that way. I'm keeping the hood stock as of now. I do however have a TGP style aftermarket hood with brand new louvers & mounting hardware that I may eventually put on the car though.

Where did you get an after market TGP style hood? Does it have the longer or shorter louvers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 It looks decent, but the begining of the cowl needs a little help. Just doesnt look right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo231 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hello, Because you are looking for a "how does it look" type answers, I think it is very RICE. While a moderate amount of cladding is nice, especially if it is factory, adding a nonfunctional hood scoop is no better then adding a nonfictional wing to the back of a car. Scoops do serve a purpose...Z24's had a functional CIA scoop, and many RWD cars (and I guess FWD in the right application) might even require the under hood clearance. But adding it just to add it, I'm sure there are other places to improve your car that might make it run better or ride nicer. But, a lot of people, including a lot of folks here on this board like to make their cars special, and for that, this hood fits the bill. That's my 2 cents.

jeremy Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 the hood isn't my style, and I don't really see the point of the clear headlight covers either ....they make it look like they are showcasing the velco/brackets that hold them in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 looks good...compared to other's ive seen its good that somebody actually does custom work to these cars tho..... and hey, its hella better than the faggy Lund scoops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjtiminskygtp Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 That hood does nothing for me. There is an 83 Firebird in town that has a hood like that, but the cowl goes almost to the top of the windshield...whenever I see it I almost puke...not many cars can pull off that hood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Terrible. Worst exterior mod evar. Sorry for the bluntness, and that is really JMO, but it just doesn't look good. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Regal Limited Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I like it... But ya, make it functional and its cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Don't lime it, but appreciate the time that went into making it......I just don't see the point...the cowl is too high for my liking anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfewtrail Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I think the poster died. He stopped replying in his thread... I'm still breathing last time I checked. I didn't see the post where you asked about where I got my TGP style hood earlier, sorry. I got the hood from a local body shop. It was around $150 for it unpainted. I believe it might be identical to the ones you can find listed online now for a little over $100. I haven't test fitted the hood yet, but it should fit very close to the way the OEM ones did(I already have an aftermarket stock style hood on my '93 that was ordered through the same body shop and it fits exactly like the original hood).

19Cutlass94 Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 I like cowl hoods but they have to be on the right car for it to look like its suppose to be there. I mean if you need it for room in the engine comaprtment ( for whatever reason ) then thats one thing. But putting that hood on and not making it functional or have no reasoning for it its kinda stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
