Ram Air Hood

I want one

I think the reason these W25 types of hoods for the 81-88s haven't sold well in the past is because many feel that the angles of the scoops are incorrect for the G-Body . . . it doesn't line up well with the hood edge.

I made this quick Photoshop of what people been asking for regarding the angles. Some even feel that the scoops are too narrow . . . however I don't feel thats a problem if the angles are correct.

I hate to bring back a dead thread but I've been looking everywhere for one of these hoods for my 80 olds cutlass s. And all I can find is the dang cowl hoods can anyone point me in the direction of a comp that makes one I checked vfn s website and nothin any help would be fantastic

I'd definitely get this hood for my 85 if it were offered . . . I hope the angle of the scoops are addressed though

There are two styling problems with the W-25 hood on a G-body. The first is the angle of the leading edge of the scoops. The second is the width of the scoops. On the 1970-72 cars, the width of the scoops was chosen to match the width of the grilles. It's way off on the G-body grilles.

Dude I just joined this forum.... I hope ppl can see this!? I just bought the w-25 hood from vfn... Still waiting to be able to go pick it up though. Few questions. How big is the air box and ive never had the trim off of my stock hood. Can I put it on the vfn hood? No not the piece that goes down the center. The piece that faces the windsheild.

I am not to clear on what everybody is asking for here, but US body source is making them again. There old mold was damaged a while back but they made a new one and it is available. It does come with a optional ram air plate that you install yourself, and you would need to cut out the scoops.

Any chance of you guys making one for a grand prix? I've got a design, but it would be much better on a glass hood and done pro. I can send better pics and specs than what are shown here if you are interested. I would buy one, and think there would be a larger market. I get a lot of interest in mine, but do not have the ability to mass produce/ market.

Damn. Didn't see how old this thread was. I guess I am aptly named.
