G1 body style change? - Page 2

First thing is, show a design of the hood you want. How much clearance is between the motor and the hood? might as well cut a hole on the hood and do some fab.

Is this look good for G1 and you think will go with my project?

l4zy415 · 08-09-08, 04:34 AM

^ That would look good. Not too ricy.Havn't found anything about the hood? How about a WRX STi hood with a scoop style?

Slow-N-Rustd · 08-09-08, 06:21 AM

Honestly I don't care too much for that car, I'd say that style with a hood scoop would make people go

... but then again when you won the race they would go

. hmmm no matter what you do with the body an NSX engine makes me say

. but really I think if you put the jdm turbo grille and hood with your scoop it would look more mean than rice.

Well, thing thing is, how tall is the supercharger on that thing? Unless he goes with a dragster hood like this Chevelle:

car2n · 08-15-08, 02:55 AM

Is not that tall but i think that yes stock hood with scoop will do the mean look...

tubadude · 08-18-08, 07:40 PM

not sure how weird looking it would be, but a shaker hood?

legend89chopped · 08-20-08, 11:01 PM

^AAAAhhHhh! That would be SWEEEEET!

Why didn't I think of that?

car2n · 08-21-08, 01:26 AM

Yes that is something to consider, looks nice less weight!

car2n · 10-23-08, 01:48 AM

Well this is another wild idea on rised scoop...

JEGS 95002 - JEGS Fiberglass Z28 Cowl Induction Hood Scoops - JEGS
SC is about 3" higher than the limit to the hood and covers about an area of 22"x14 in left to right position, i think this will be some of the good solutions to the hood problem...

Iif I had to change one thing about the g1 sedan, it would be the front lip...the stock lip leaves alot to be desired...so that's why I think a good looking fiberglass lip would add to the cars natural beauty. (think ae86)...
