New Hood!
I got the new ram air hood for my birthday and it will be going on in spring..... does anyone know if they made "Ram air" badges I could put on the side of the scoop?
|
Put an SS on the grill. And yea just ebay for ram air or zzpdecals.
|
Congrats, sadly we'll have to wait for the pics huh? :(
|
Sadly yes, prob not until spring due to our lovely WI winters. But I will post some asap!
Thanks Enzo! |
Congrats on the hood *jealousy sets in*, might also check reflectiveconcepts.com It's licensed by GM so you can get ram air decals (overlays actually) from most if not all past GM models. If you don't see it on the web site e-mail Matt and he'll help you out.
|
I think the hood itself says "ram air" and that you don't need a badge saying it :P
The hood scoop is just sooo clean, no need to ruin it ;) Congrats on the purchase, it'll be nice when I can start buying those kinds of things for my Monte. Everytime I save up enough, it goes elsewhere like brakes / rotors, or tires, transmission, or a new front cradle.... |
I wish the 06+ hoods weren't so ugly... Congrats on your purchase.

I agree with Rick, the AFTERMARKET hood for the 06-07 is ugly IMO.

No its not the same one, It is fully functional but this one has little side scoops also..... Here is the exact one I ordered,
|
Hm... I like the SS one a lot better.
|
Last time I saw / heard of the duraflex one it wasn't fully functional.
Can you take a shot of the bottom side?? |
I cant find a shot of the underside but Ill let ya know when I get it. Im pretty sure it is but we'll see! :)
|
i still say the 6th gen and the 7th gen ram air hoods are greatlooking on them and to me the stock hood to me is ugly.
|

Hahaha, you can live in the dog house...atleast :P
|
lol yes it was a b day present and part of my x mas present so it kinda makes sense :)
|
alright lil bro!
|
RickAKATed,
You Monte would look awesome with a mr. Burns decal! The simpsons paint scheme in the black backdrop of you Monte...*dreams* aww what a beauty, some day i just might put a Homer decal on mine! It could go in the rear end, just a thought. Photoshop that picture you posted on your rear end and we'll see how it looks? huh? huh? lol |
Ok so I got the new hood today nad you guys were right.... its NOT a ram air hood but I am going to make it into one, which can easily be done! :)
|
let see some pic
|
check fitment of it. hopefully it fits better right off the bat then mine did from pfyc. fiberglass molds can be such a pain to get fitted right. always bowes. took mine about $400 to get prepped for a decent fit, still slightly bowed on the front corners. would've cost about $700-$800 for a great fit. definately wanna see pics of it on, i was interested in that hood but after reading reviews, i decided on the pfyc hood. wasnt into the extra side vents. its a unique hood though, grats with the purchase!

No high schools in Chi town? How do they ever fill the chop shops.... |
Ok I will take pics when i get home, But it sure looks like I could make a thin aluminum ram air to the intake. Im also going to fit the hood this wknd and hopefully it works better that its not fiberglass, but I will also let you guys know! Thanks!

This is the actual hood sitting in my garage!!! I cannot wait to get it painted in spring and put it on.... the fitting process will begin soon cuz I want it perfect! I am going to cut that section out to make it a functional ram air hood so to answer everyones question.... the Duraflex can be make into an official ram air hood... more pics soon!:D
|
i saw that hood on the 06 plus monte carlo/impala, but i didn't know they make one for the 00-05 monte carlo. not my style of hood i like, but i'm sure will look good after prep and paint.
|
Thanks! I will post pics asap after paint and I think your right... it will look a lot better with some spray on it! and a lil pinstripping ;)
|
