Firebird/Trans AM aftermarket hoods?

Hey guys. I am going to be needing a hood for my '88 trans am with at least 1 or 2 extra inches of clerance. I like those Ram Air looking like hoods (who all makes them?), but not sure on what their extra clerance is.

What about some other hoods with scoops on them. This is for a street car, so I don't want nothing huge. Thanks a lot guys.

I have both the RA1 and RA2 hoods and there is plenty of clearance under both, the RA2 having another 1-2" of clearance over the RA1.

Both of those are made by ASCD.
I don't have the RA2 from ASCD anmore, traded it for the RA1, but I do have an RA2 from RamAirHoods.com. I just need to paint my 84 T/A hood and give it to my friend, he doesn't want the RA2 anymore so I am trading the 84 hood for it.

That is why they look familiar. They are made by the same company

They may look the same in those pictures, but they are totally different in design.
