So my GTP's hood was pretty much fuxxored when I bought it. Looks like someone smothered a shitload of bondo on it, smacked it with a hammer, then spray painted over it. Soooo come spring, its getting stripped and painted. But me being me... I cant drive a NORMAL stock looking car, so I kinda want to put a scoop on it or something. But the question is.. what even? I had considered everything from stock '04 GTP blisters, 91-92 Z28 hood blisters, an SS style scoop, GTO style scoops, I just dont really know. I'd get it molded and made to be open, regardless of whether or not it was a bolt on scoop.

What do you guys think? Any ideas? PS, I'm NOT buying a new hood.

Get a hood for the GTX model.

I'm getting wheels for it, and building a CAI, and I'm only doing something to the hood because it disgusts me to look at considering the rest of the paint is flawless. I'd rather put that kinda cash into my firebird. A scoop is something I could do myself or have done cheap.

I like the GTO hoods.....i think that would look best

I kinda do too, and I think that would be a better fit for a Pontiac than an SS or Maro type deal.

I didn't see a scoop for you but I didn't know if you've been here clickityclackity

I have not, thanks man. They have that coolant bottle I need to put the CAI in. I just cannot justify paying 700 bucks for a hood for this car... when I can put a 700$ LSx in my bird hahaha.

maaco it or look for somethin in better shape?

well I got a guy whos gonna paint it... I just wanna do something to it since its getting done anyways. Cheaply.




Thats the general idea... whys that funny though?

I'm not trying to steal your thunder, I think its a viable idea. If I could get a scoop like that, I'd have it ready to go for March haha

I was even thinking of something like this...


Just not sure if it would look right.

your gonna pay $700 to have someone fab you a hood to look like that SLP hood and it will never be perfect. Look around for a used one you never know what you can find out there.

buy a new hood.

no.

dont tell me no!!!

I too will join the chorus that says "get another hood"

from a boneyard.

But then I'd have to paint it anyways. (more than likely) So it kinda defeats the purpose. Fuck it, maybe I'll just leave it smooth and paint it.


Steph... I just did! Ohhhhhhh!

there
i showed you!!!

How so? car-part.com

find a black one.

Problem solved.

but then its still a stock hood lol.

I say get a new stocker in good shape.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
