You rarely see it for a reason. I just don't think they flow with the car at all on T/As. cowls are left for Camaros

I would like to see more pics. It really doesn't look too bad.
It was on ebay and the auction ended so I can't find anymore pics.

Is that a stock hood with a cowl put on it? If thats the case i might get a cowl for the formula from Summit before i get it painted.

I must be the loner. Not a fan. Prefer the ram air hood or firehawk over that.

ASCD made that hood for a while, my friend had one on his 97 TA, looks mean when the cars on drag lites or Pro Stars. If they still made that cowl I would have gotten one.

I like that and the big block hood like I have more than the ram airs. + you dont see many of them, some people like mine some dont, all tha matters is what you like.

cowls are only cool if you have the power to back it up!!!!!! I myself prefer WS6 or firehawk hoods

It's different, not bad looking, but I perfer the ram air hoods for the TA.

Those hoods are not me, Leathal I want your hood I always have just can not find it. So i went with the WS6 the next best one. For the 98+ The Firehawk is the only hood I like.

Your not the only one!
IMO, the OEM style LT1 ws6 hood looks the best on a 93-97 bird

I think it looks as good on the firebird as on the camaro... Saying it is only for the camaro is like saying the Z06 wheels are only for the camaro... Both mods look just as good on both cars:cool:

A kid at the place I work has a cowl on his LT1 T/A.
I'll snap a few pics of it next time I see it.
It looks really nice. Probibly my favorite hood on them as well. It makes it look mean and looks like it belongs there from the factory.

DO NOT LIKE!!! factory ram air or even the 4" hood if the car is fast enough to back up the look. not that warbird hood i think it looks like shit.

different.... I guess Im just not used to it.... Im digging it though simply because its not your normal, ram air (which I love) look.

It looks much better in person too.
I think it makes it look mean.

the reason i think it looks kinda odd is the TA bumper with the fog lights ... i like that hood much better with the firebird bumper

The t/a body lines dont go with a cowl hood I think. If you look at the lines of a ram air hood or even the stock hood, the lines match up with the lines of the front end nicely. it keeps the bumper, and hood together nicely
