New ramairhood.com hood

Just put the new hood on from ramairhood.com. For the most part I'm pleased. The spacing is even all around although it gets close in the front. I had to adjust the hood towards the windshield a little because it was touching the head lights. Had to adjust the lock a little too. The height is even in the back but worsens as it gets closer to the front. You can see in the pictures that it's quite taller that the level of the bumper cover and outside edges of the headlights. Also they didn't drill two holes that would've been useful with the hinges. I didn't think to take pictures of them but I'll get them up tomorrow. I'm taking the car in for a paint job on monday and will post the finished photos in 3 1/2 to 4 weeks.

Cant wait to see the finished product. You dont have any pictures showing more of the TT IIs do you? I cant convince the little woman to let me take the ones off the firebird to see what they would look like on my 93' She thinks ill not find the time to swap them back! :rolleyes: Smart Girl ;)

Have you adjusted the hood bump stops? My friend had to sand his hood latch area to get the front to sit flush on his bird.

Yeah I adjusted the stops, didn't seem to help though. I dropped it off at the shop on monday so it's up to their talented hands now. Here's some old shots with the TT2's.

I would do a search for better pics of those wheels, these aren't very good and there are some fantastic pictures of these wheels around this site.

I would say that is a pretty good looking hood.

Thanks for the Pictures. I have 17X9.5's TT2s on my 99 firebird. just wondering what they look like on a black LT-1 Trans Am. Thanks agian!

Ok, I got the car back from the body shop with clear signal covers and fresh paint on the whole car. I installed the ram air system that weekend.

I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. There was an issue with the nose piece that wasn't the shops fault. Apparently it warped during shipping and they used a heat gun to mold back what they could but the nose piece is still warped near the head lights on both sides. I'm gonna see if I can get it replaced but I have a feeling I'm gonna be buying a new nose piece.

Here's the ram air.

The IAT needed a 5/8 rubber grommet and the A.I.R. hose needed a 3/4 rubber grommet and I used 5/8 fuel line to adapt my hose to the air box. Luckily the rubber tubes from the Moroso CAI were the perfect size for this because the tubes they sent with the box didn't fit right. It was a VERY tight fit, I had to remove the MAF screen because the air box was grinding on it. A MAF wire extension is on the way.

Looks pretty damn sweet!
