Looking at these aftermarket hoods I am wondering if anyone has them, if there are any pictures they could show me, and if the scoop can be made into a functional airflow system on them.

Making a wish list and looking at the body kits that are around. Any info is gladly accepted!

ram intakes don't do much on our cars. stick w/ a cai. or go turbo

I was looking at it more for an engine cooling/ventilating effect. Possible?

ah. that might be possible... but what are you doing that your engine is heating up enough, to require extra cooling??

Well, it would be nice to have something practical as well as better looking. But mainly as an extra precaution to living in El Paso, TX.

they are options, not good ones IMO, I think the new hood that is supposedly coming out is the best looking option other than getting your hands on a rare boatek hood.....

I believe guilandry has one of those hoods though....

Those are completely different brands than in the link...I thought Andy's had it all. Do they even supply the ones that I listed anymore? Had not heard anything about a new hood for our car-I'd like to see it somewhere if I could. Seems like they've been gradually drawing back on everything for our cars.

They are still available, the Boatek is the cowl hood like I have.....

the new one is the neverdone hood, I don't have time to search for it, but there is a picture on the site here under the neverdone thread....
