Re: Best Firebird hood choices......

It's been 6 years since I last posted an update to this thread, and 8 years since I posted findings about several Firebird hoods. But I'm reviving this thread now to post about the infamous ISMA hood. Yes, the mythical hood IS still available. Here's a picture of the brand new one I just got for myself. But rather than flood this thread with pictures I've already posted on TGO, I'm linking the thread I created about it, which contains A LOT of pictures.

The hood is available from Fiber Concepts in Warminster, PA.

Oh man. It’s always between this and the RA1 hood for me. I love both.

it was available factory with the limited Bandit appearance package. Mine was just bolted to the stock Firebird hood. It had been installed by previous owner of car and was actually slightly crooked. If you have a stock hood and can find the scoop, it would be pretty easy to install.

Hard to improve on the lines of the factory Power Bulge hood.
