I have an oppertunity to trade my stock hood for a dual scoop Ram Air hood and wondering if it would be overkill for my tiburons "style" I have a stock exterior with the exception of wheels and M3 mirrors and I do not want a body kit and Im figuring that the ram air hood would be to "aggressive" for the clean style im going for so with that said What do u guys think about the ram air hood on a pretty much stock exterior rd2 tib??? please give me your opinions and help me make up my mind

Yes, overkill. It does NOT go well with that car.

Gorilla nostrils. Do not do it. It is NOT a Trans Am.

I would base it off what YOU like. If you like the hood, go for it. Who cares what others think. It's your car, do what you want with it.



That being said, I'm NOT a fan of that hood. But if you like it, go for it.

The lines on the Tib are very integrated. You can't mess that up.

its about what you want, not what others want..



i think its the ugliest f*cking hood and can only be somewhat pulled off on a veilside kitted RD2 with 'loud' paint.
