I'm looking into to getting a Ram Air Hood for my Firebird, partly because about a month ago my car was jumped on in the middle of the night and now the hood is all dented up. I was wondering what is the best way to go? Buy a fiberglass one off ebay? Look around at junk yards for a OEM hood? A functional or not?

Re: Ram Air hoods
my ram air hood was a steal literally, it only cost me $150 from my mechanic and i go the chrome rims for $100, my guess was that they were stolem....the hoods is still an aftermarket one that i usually see on ebay...dont really understand how they work b.c they dont use the setup that the OEM hoods do...and with those u have to buy it which will run u about 300-400 unless you just want the hood for looks and go with an SLP cold air intake

Re: Ram Air hoods
look around for some in a junkyard, but chances are you won't find one. If you get one on ebay, make sure its from a legit seller for fitment purposes. There are a few that are OEM that go on ebay and you can find some on ls1tech.com
If you decide to spend some cash, go for the SLP hood.

Your call how you want to do it though.

Re: Ram Air hoods
It is hard to find a ram air hood in a junk yard. I bought my WS6 hood for $275 shipped off Ebay.
You can buy an aftermarket hood, but be careful about the brand. I would stick to SLP or suncoast to be safe. But there are a lot of others out there cheaper, just not as precise and a bit more work to fit/ look good.
