Step one: get in your car. Step two: drive to a body shop. ;)

There are only two ram air style hoods for our generation GA. One by Andy's Auto Sport (http://www.andysautosport.com/models.php?make=Pontiac&id=Po92Grand), and the better IMO, FXDesigns (http://www.fxdesigns.com). Unless you want the el-cheapo lund stick-on scoops that everyone and their mothers have. Just to warn you, the latter would make you unpopular here irregardless of how much you like them.

Stick-ons are ugly as sin. Save yourself all the laughs and don't do it. If you want scoops, save and buy a real hood. Just my opinion...

[Sweet98GA]

^^^ agreed

[95grandamowner]

sounds good guys i don't want to ugly up the ride :P thanks for the input i will save up and buy a hood!

[Big Joe]

yeah buy the hood. best bet

i disagree, they sell the ram air scoor that is the same as the scoops on the aed hood only the scoop itself costs about 250 plus a tub of fiberglass, some spreaders and sandpaper, and dedication, instead of paying 950 plus tax, id say if its a hott scoop you should do it rather than buy a hood. also in my opinion someone who puts more labor into their car rather than going to a shop to do everything makes the car more respectable... it makes it your car, not a car that you drive that somone else created. almost like buying a car already tricked out... doesnt make it your car, you didnt build it someone else did it. so personally id say buy a scoop that looks hott, and that a lot of other people think looks hott because like azreal sed, stick ons, and ugly ones arent hott in anyway and arent thought to be by anyone including all your friends that say wow that looks cool, they really hate it... but theyre being nice... lol ;) sorry

I also like the one from FXDesigns, it gives it a firebird look IMO
I agree also with 98Blackgagt

[JoeyK]

I also couldn't agree more.

[98BlackGAGT]

thank you

[Sweet98GA]

for the record there are no scoops that look like aed's.

secondly... ure talking to someone who (IM assuming) has no prior body knowledge... so to say just go buy some glass and let it rip is not a good idea. Also... there is always the potential for cracking ANYTIME u mold something...

^ I couldn't agree more w/ that statement too. Let's just put it this way, a hood can be redone easily & quickly if you know what your doing but these people who are molding on body kits & driving them everyday are just asking for a world of hurt. (& even more so are the ones who use fiberglass)
My hood was beautifull for a year or so, them I took out one of those pretty red tailed hawks you see sitting atop of the poles along the road here in the midwest. Wouldn't you know it he he hit right at the front of the nostril area. It cracked it some, but no worries, hardly noticable & whenever I feel like it I can fix it & repaint it w/ in a few hours.:)

aight i understand where you coming from if you have no previous experience, but they do make ram air hood scoops that look a lot like the one aed sells, in fact they even have ram air scoops on ebay, so dont say they dont exist, everything is out there you just have to look hard enough, but if you have no experience, you gotta start somwhere, go to a junkyard, find a hood in decent condition, or a panel with some damage to it and give it a shot, its not as hard as it may seem, just takes patience mostly... but hey thats jus my opinion.

any type of fiberglass has a potential of cracking or sagging after a while Gus.
