I'm considering a cowl hood for the GN. I might not go with it because I like the close to stock look, but the benefits might be worthwhile. Anyway, where should I start looking for a good one? Price?...etc.

Do you have a photo?
 
Pease do not get the hood. It makes the cars look too much like a full monte :eek:

If you do need a hood cowl or not try glasstek.
Their quality is excellent!

I dont have a photo but its the same as the 2.5 inch one on up22.com

Yes, the performance aid is why I'm considering...the look is why I'm reluctant....Glasstek looks good, but their photo is kinda hard to see..maybe I'll contact them.

I went and checked out that site. Their hoods (like yours) are what I'll be looking for...a little more tasteful than some others. Yours is painted, I presume?
 
Mine is black I just got it like a week ago from another TR owner
he also gave me brand new set of pins with it too I would be concerned about shipping if you're interested I dont really know how to pack a hood especially fiberglass

I'm sure it could be shipped as 'fragile' and insured.....what kind of numbers are we talking here?
 
If your concerned with cooling just add the gnx fender vents with the adapters from Joe Harrington(gnxguy) that make them functional. PLEASE dont put an ugly azzz cowl hood on your TR.Just my .02$

I thought of that, but I love the GN badging too much to do without it...plus, I'm worried about a body shop screwing it up while putting them in. I saw one of the entry photos for the recent TR calendar with a cowl that actually looked alright.(Photo of front while digging up a bunch of smoke.) I totally understand where you're coming from, though....fast is great, but I don't want to lose the class.
 
Cowl Hoods...

I saw a bright silver '87 T at the Nats this year with a cowl hood and the car looked awesome. I think the guy was from Canada.

Thanks for the compliment RKHiperformance.That was my silver T with a 4" cowl.I was hoping to be the only T there with that hood.Turns out there were a bunch.I got a lot of compliments.
Take care.
