Thread: Regal hood

Ok, first of all, im not a fan of the ram air hood for the regals. Ive seen some people that had regals with a shaker style hood like an old school muscle car. im guessing its custom or can a fiberglass hood be purchased somewhere?

Get the one that crazyguy has

Thats the one that im not a fan of lol. I may just have to play with photoshop and see what a 1"-2" cowl looks like since i will more than likely need to go custom

Photoshop that GN lump on the W-Regal, I bet it works. Just like it sits on the GN.

Yeah the lump was offset on the elder boosty ones. I think my friend's mom's turbo regal was a 78 and was that way. Boost gauge was a bar graph on the back of it I think. It wasn't real impressive but the lump was cool.

Thanks. Been lurking for a while. I have a GN and GS. (I need to add a signature)

My bad, and yeah welcome aboard! School these GP wannabes. I should have said "I think the lump was offset on the elder boosty ones". Thanks for clearing that up though. I was there but it was a long time ago and I didn't care because both those cars were smoggo wheezers with no displacement.

Weren't you going for the whole "sleeper" look.

how you do a shaker hood on a fwd car? theres only one hood out there for a regal, and its like 1600 bucks. and its not all that for that money to me.

custom is really the only way.

Nick Sho ruined the sleeper idea for me and to be fair this is just an idea i had while at work. I already have a pillar pod so the sleeper look is defeated anyway.

1600? screw that, i paid less than that for all of my turbo stuff.

It's cool. Also my hood did come with a plenum to route the air to the air box but since i have an IC it doesn't fit. So yeah the scoops still cool off the entire engine bay

the raised bump style hood im not sure who made those
NOT this one

Thats just, like, my opinion man. to me it just looks a little too aggressive for the regal.

no worries at all !

Like this with less height

http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...nc__04BRH.html found it. its 900, still to much, over a grand shipped i bet.

Drop a post over at RGS I'm sure someone remembers the bump style hood

Im pretty sure a 1" smooth cowl in the middle of the hood would look pretty good.

You could fab that up with 2 hoods made into one

Hey, a hood conversation! Oh... Regals. Wrong room, sry.
