Masterchief362 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 anything stick on is ftmfl yeah... i'm over it. A car worth a whopping 2 grand isn't worth much more than stick on. Maybe if I stop going to school and live with my parents forever I can save money to dump a ton on my 95 cutlass. This car is great but as long as I have more important things to do with my money and time, the two little stick on things on the hood work for me. Its work enough to keep this car rust free and shine plus run like a champ year round. Wisconsin winters suck. Plus I gotta plan for when I graduate and have the money and buy my dream... 00-02 WS6 TA That will be worth the time and money Quote
Masterchief362 Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 http://usbodysource.com/ Cowl hood. Can't copy and paste so scroll down to Olds 78-96 Man that cowl would look awesome... but like I said I don't feel my baby is worth that much at this point. But damn am I in love with that hood. The ones for the 1.5 gen Luminas/ Montes looks awesome as well. Quote
xtremerevolution Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 if you can't do it right, you know you could just leave it the way it is and put your money into something more useful... Quote
jimmyfloyd Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 Or you could spend it how you like, and make the car however you want. In the end, everyone has an opinion, and everyone has an idea of what's right. Do whatever you want if it pleases you. It's the same thing they had back in the days of classic cars. Do you modify them, or do you keep them factory. There is always an opposing opinion. That being said, I have always wanted to try and make a Cowl hood out of two regular hoods. I am willing to give it a try this winter if someone was interested in buying it at a worthwhile cost ($100-150). Quote
Masterchief362 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 if you can't do it right, you know you could just leave it the way it is and put your money into something more useful... It was two years ago... I wanted something different at cost... didnt care at the time... I dont put money into anything like that anymore. Quote

Yours looks great, but that's only because it matches the bumper very well, and the rest of the lines on the car. It almost looks stock, and if not stock, professionally done. Something like an SLP package for a GTX/GSX. Quote
douellette Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Posted October 9, 2009 just got the new hood scoops today so im gonna set them on the car tomorow to see how i like it. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 leave them in primer for extra rice-power... Quote
douellette Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Posted October 9, 2009 leave them in primer for extra rice-power... well they are black right now..my car is red.....and red an black go good together soo..... lol Quote
xtremerevolution Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 not with stick on hood scoops they don't. If you had vents cut out that would be a different story. Paint them the same color. Quote
douellette Posted October 10, 2009 Author Report Posted October 10, 2009 i know haha...thats what im planning on doing. ill take some pics of the unpainted ones sitting on the car tomorow and post them up. Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 I wish the rise on the lumina hood center was a little higher. Luminas would look sweet with a slight cowl. Quote
douellette Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Posted October 11, 2009 i tried the hood scoops today. didnt like them. they werent the right shape/size. so guess i might try a diff set. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 i tried the hood scoops today. didnt like them. they stick ons. so guess i might try a diff set. if you want scoops done right, get one with scoops actually stamped/molded on from the factory. if you're good with fiberglass, you can get them looking damn good on any hood...

douellette Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Posted October 11, 2009 can you use like the body filler stuff? my brothers pretty good with that. Quote
RobertISaar Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 can you use like the body filler stuff? my brothers pretty good with that. generally, thats what people mean by fiberglass is body filler... bondo is a type of polyester, but same idea, just less durable/easier to use... Quote
Venom Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 I wish they made scoops that looked more like the 442 scoops. That would look good. Ive got Z34 vents that I plan on using. I remember once seeing pics on here with a CS that had Z34 scoops flush mounted and looked pretty good. Quote

tdvs Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 That being said, I have always wanted to try and make a Cowl hood out of two regular hoods. I am willing to give it a try this winter if someone was interested in buying it at a worthwhile cost ($100-150). Cowl hoods are ok, but if you could mold W30 scoops on a CS hood at a worthwhile cost ($100-150) I'd be interested in that. Quote
