Fiberglass Hood

[19Cutlass94]

What does everybody think of this hood???

 

I was thinking about buying it, but if anybody would also like to get one (92-96 Cutlass) maybe we could get a group buy going, although I would need to talk to the guy to see what he would be able to do price wise.

 

This hood uses the OEM hinges and latch, truly a bolt on, no fab needed

 

(They also make this hood for the 89-91 Cutlass)

If it's painted body colour, maybe. If they make them for Grand Prix, maybe.

 

Maybe.

[19Cutlass94]

the place makes them doesnt have the hood for a GP, only the firebird and T/A, as far as I know, but then again Im going by what they say on their website

I think its a good looking hood, and it looks like the one I would want to put on my car, but being fiberglass kinda is sketch to me, on my baja I am finding out fiberglass is not the best material for a semi-important part.

 

I would efinately be interested to see it on your car though, your car is almost identical to mine, minus my tint and i have different wheels,

 

basically its a cutty coupe the same color

 

I have always liked the cowl induction look hoods on vehicles, I just wish they made an all metal one with working cowl induction like the old muslce cars have where the little thing pops up at certain times.

Wow, they have one for a Cutty but not a G/P?

 

IDK- I think it will look good, but I wouldn't do it because you're driving a FWD uni-body car, not a RWD muscle car.

x2 ...the only way i'd put one of those on my car is if i needed the extra hood clearance for forced induction...

[19Cutlass94]

Well the thing is, I would love to bring my car to some of the local car shows and such around here, but I duno if it is worth bringing to one yet so Im exploring some of the options that I have to modify my car (or whatever you would like to say ) so that I would feel more confortable going to a car show.

 

And I though while I was looking at this, I might share it with everyone incase someone else lied it too and maybe get a group buy or something so that many people could benefit.

Heres some pictures of another cutlass, '92, on cardomain, that made his own hood, similar to this one, but not the same. Nevermind the huge wing on it either

 

If he happens to see his car on here, Thanks for lettin me use it for this purpose

[GutlessSupreme]

For the love of god, don't do it.

[terryk2003]

 

 

:shock: ...so, THATS where turby's SUPRA wing went...

I was considering buying one of those hoods last summer, after looking at that red car, i dunno if it would be worth it. One of those things that would have to grow on someone i guess.

[19Cutlass94]

the hood on that red cutty really isnt the best example I guess since it is different

[19Cutlass94]

and if anybody is wondering, Yes this hood can be made functional

[94CutlassSLCoupe]

If they made regular fiberglass flat hood...I would surely consider it...scoops are pretty stupid on FWD, IMHO.

[mfewtrail]

I actually like the way the hood looks on the red cutty above, if it had a stock spoiler, the car as a whole wouldn't look bad.

[19Cutlass94]

I mean I can understand where some of you are coming from in saying that it looks stupid on a FWD car. but me personally I like that style hood in general, not saying that its gonna go on the Cutlass.

 

Just trying to do sumtin different

[GnatGoSplat]

I think cowl hoods are ugly, but my taste is ultra-conservative for the most part.

[19Cutlass94]

I mean I searched for such a long time to find afte market products, such as hoods and body parts and such and all I found was that hood there but I duno after every cutty, the body being basically the same cuz no1 makes such things for the body, I guess you start to try to find things to do with it

Maybe because they look fine the way they are.

[19Cutlass94]

not saying I have a problem with the stock hood but hey at least Im not trying to put racing stripes on it or anything:lol:

[89GPSE]

do you have a link to the web site that sells them?

[ShockTherapy]

pretty hood, but not for W-body cars, imho.

[19Cutlass94]

http://www.carhoods.com just have to enter the website and schrool down and every hood that they make will be listed on the left.

[Prospeeder]

im not seeing why hood scoops are stupid on FWD cars, its just that the wheels pull the car instead of push it, now racing slicks on the back of a RWD are dumb, yes, but why does it matter the car is FWD and to have hood scoops? is it magicly retarded and cant work because of that or what? I think the hood looks awsome, i think 19cutlass94 should get it, i love my Big long Louvers on my TGP, not the ghetto shorty louvers in the GTP's
