Does this hood exist?

I like the shape of the ram air hoods for the 93-97' Trans am's, but i don't like the little piece in the middle of the inlet. Has anyone ever seen a ram air hood that doesn't have one, and do you know who makes them?

Never seen one like that.

Maybe if you bought a factory metal hood, you or a shop could cut the part out. I don't know if you could do that with fiberglass and have look good

Who cares about the 93-97 WS6 hoods? Get the Predator hood!

ugh..

The predator hoods look just as bad as the stock ones on the new trans ams. The whole point is getting rid of two holes, and making one long slit. Having Two bigger gaping holes is the opposite direction of where i'm going.

This would be more easily done on a fiberglass hood, you cut dremel it out and then just patch it up and fill it over.
I thought hard about doing this myself as I have a WS6 suncoast hood, after several drawing I decided that it didn't look right with the two holes in the front bumper...........now if you cut the hole in the front bumper and made it one big hole and then made the vent one slit but that would kill aerodynamics and that would suck...........it did look really cool in the drawing though
