if you want a ram air style hood that is like the W-25 hood. find a good custom shop and have them make and mold the scoops onto a stock alero hood.

PPGNUT: How many man hours do you think it would take to customize a W-25 Ram Air Hoor that is functional, or take a GA hood and modify it to fit an Alero? If one could find an older damaged W-25 hood and cut out the scoop area and fit it into place is that possible?

I've seen some pics of where people who're good with bodywork make these custom hoods and such. It's quite the process, bt when they're done, if they did it good, it's amazing!
I really would like to see someone try the type of hood you're talking about, it sounds nice.

im not worried about the body work on it. i have a very very good guy that can do it. its just what scoops and or hood to use for hte scoops. i just choose the ga because it looks similar to the w25. the scoops themselves look close and proportional to the car. i really think about doing it. any other scoops that would look better?? people can chime in and let me know their opinions.
