Saw that car today at "the cruise on central". Not bad, but not my taste.

Yeah we had the car out there for the cruise night. Reactions for the hood and car in general where extremely favorable. I was really nice to see peoples reaction to the car and changes we made. Work goes on!!

since its still under development some suggestions, btw i think it looks awesome as is, but even better if the scoops were a bit further up ... or would that lose functionality ?

I'll give my opinion on it, I LOVE the hood! as said on LS1GTO it could be a tad more rounded to flow with the cars body, but all in all I like the look!

the hood scoop to me though, and please don't be offended looks like someone laid a ice cream cone on the hood, it's way to pointy IMO. I think if you guys built a dual gauge pod, instead of a single and rounded it a bit more, it would look nicer. make it wider to fit 2 gauges side by side, and round it in.

but I love the whole idea, and the blower just RULES!

Way too pointy, just like the Pontiac arrowhead right in front of it. Pics really don't do it justice. In person the hood really flows and fits nicely.

We tried a dual gauge pod and a pod for a 2 5/8" guage but it ended up being huge and out of proportion.

thirdgen455 04-13-2004 06:31 PM

cool then you guys are on top of it, I like the whole thing, the pod just loks a little weird, i'm glad you guys tried the dual pod too. at least someones making some good stuff for these cars.

I love the cars, but after I saw one in person, I thought they do kinda look bland. and I'm ALL FOR THE SLEEPER LOOK, but it needed something more, I'm glad someones helping old pontiac out.

Not a fan but maybe when / if I see it in person. However, I give you a 10 in relation to any other attempt at scooping the 04.

I'll be curious to see what Pontiac does...

I think I saw that hood in J C Whitney.

This is the hood I'm looking for. Didn't see it in JC Whitney....
