hey yall.....i just got my first pontiac lemans yesterday...but 2nd gbody as my first was an 80 malibu with a 16pt funny car style cage and a 540 bbc with a power glide....i took this lemans on a trade for a car i was tired of messing with and only took it because i havent seen any around my town here in south carolina...my problem is starting with this..im happy it has a sbc and th350 trans in it and i was really interested in the pontiac looks in the front and rear bumper...but has anyone ever seen a aftermarket cowl hood for these cars or anything aftermarket for that matter...lemme know please i would really like a cowl for this car or possible if i could find a shaker out of a t/a or the scoop i saw on the pontiacs on the smokey and the bandit....any info would help a ton...and my name is lee im new to the forum...

Welcome to the forum Lee. I've got a '79 LeMans as well. I think there was a post in this section about cowl hoods for our cars, I don't think there is an aftermarket one. I toyed with the idea of putting a T/A style shaker scoop on mine as well but decided against it. I think it would look badass with the shaker scoop and a GTO style hood tach. I'm sure a good body shop could make a cowl or a shaker though.

rlkaiser69,
I think the shaker scoop from the TA on a Pontiac Lemans (or the Grand Am) would kook great, because very few people have them!
Here's my plans for my El Camino (Grand Am Sport Truck :idea: 8) )

ive been told that the scoop off a trans am is different on 70-76 bodystyles than the 77-79 trans am...maybe through 80...its something ima have to look into...i like the lines on my stock hood with the point in the grill...so i really want to keep those lines that make a pontiac stand out...just the joys of liking cars that arent as mainstream as the usual 1st gen camaros...or malibus..or everything else the aftermarket wants to make endless parts for,,,
