Edit: Power is blinking off intermittently, so I don't know if I can do this one.

On an red Fiero GT I assume, and do you want them scooping air in from the front or venting the radiator to the rear? Any other scoops and stuff that you prefer? If anyone else wants to use my car as a base, I'll see if I can find shots of whatever angles you/they ask for:

Hmm. Several yrs ago, I mocked up a set of Firebird vents (1990?) and I reversed them. They looked pretty good. The GTO's vents look good too.

Sorry, I had been having power glitches, then DSL disconnection problems, and the last 2 days my ISP was blocking all ".nl" domains (even though they said they didn't ). I'm back now so I'll see what I can do

You still didn't say whether you want them scooping or venting. Venting out will help stabilize the front end, which is needed from the factory because the radiator is a bottom-breather without a good outlet. Scooping will make it much worse, but you can have false scoops if you just want to achieve that look without making the car dangerous at highway speeds.

Here's with Pontiac GTO "ram air" scoops. Doing extractor vents will be harder because I still can't seem to find any pics of that style at the right angles...

Already dropped the one w/ GTO scoops maybe 1 inch in the back, 1/2" front (via photoshop). I only wish it was so easy (and cheap!) to lower the real thing

Venting out the back? That could be done either having them stick upward from the stock hood, or flipping upside down with the opening at the front like most extractor hoods. Which do you mean? I had trouble finding images that would work for either one. My hard drive is totally fried now anyway though... I'm running a linux boot disc until the new HDD comes on Monday, then probably take all day setting it up...

Ok I just bought those scoops, and still have the stage 2s to install thinking about the rear now
these could look good on deck lid too. but thinking more a shaker style on rear.

I am wondering to mount them low for functionality spin them round or high for looks and have another above radiator instead i will decide i guess by moving it around the car before i mould them in.

I would put the opening of the scoop as the silver fiero allowing the hot air to exit the Hood area.
not capturing cool air from the front of a moving car.
Still looking for something different and not the same as every one else has, but legal here in Australia meaning nothing higher than 5 - 6 cm above the mounted surface[like the hood surface]

Really 5-6 cm where u hear that i seen plenty of scoops i thought where higher than that. I thought the old 70s scoops shackers stood taller than 5 cm not that i need or want anything higher but didnt know
especially with cars with superchargers pretruding the bonnet.

hood scoops are all useless on rear engined cars. As far as proportional goes the scoop is a little big but i dont see fitting impossible.

Where can you get this scoop from. I have a 05 GTO and love the hood. Wouldn't mind trying this myself.

I think it would look like a bathtub too big perhaps might take some pics after work
