climbin350 03-28-2008, 04:25 PM Figured i might as well be the first to start a thread on a cowl hood. It took nearly 3 years for them to produce on for the Goat and i'm not sure if anyone ever got it just right. Sure would like to see on for the G8 sooner than later. topperge 03-28-2008, 05:38 PM Please god no, not this topic again. G8lover 03-29-2008, 10:25 AM would love to see one VEGTS 03-30-2008, 08:04 AM Whats a cowl hood? Do you mean a bonnet scoop? http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y182/V8GTP/mc5.jpg climbin350 03-30-2008, 06:40 PM not exactly...more along these lines http://www.dominantmotors.com/images/bodyKits/solsticeSky083.jpg http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/widesunoco.jpg Something to go smoothly with the car with about a 2" rise with no center line would be perfect IMO. I think the body lines on the G8 would be easier to follow than either of the ones above...and the Manufacturer could kill two birds with one stone when the sport trucks arrive. how often do you get the opportunity to make one hood to fit multiple vehicles? LasT_ResorT_G8 06-09-2008, 01:14 PM I would definitely raise the lines of the stock hood to a 2.5 cowl= bad azz G8 Ray 06-09-2008, 02:11 PM Talk to Eric over at MPD. asylum 06-09-2008, 10:10 PM what about this one? http://www.supercars.net/pitlane/pics/156361/3312144a.jpg _G8GT_ 06-09-2008, 10:57 PM ^ that rear wing is horrid Josh@ARH 06-09-2008, 11:07 PM STS-V style cowl is they way too go. Nice and subtle macgto 06-10-2008, 05:19 AM ^ that rear wing is horrid That whole car is horrid! mac 97DARKKNIGHT 06-10-2008, 07:58 AM That whole car is horrid! mac No kidding!!:judge: Slizzo 06-10-2008, 10:09 AM That whole car is horrid! mac Was about to say the same thing! :ohsnap1: GMfan454 06-10-2008, 01:15 PM Was about to say the same thing! :ohsnap1: third that. If there is a cowl hood it should be one solid piece not a stick on like on the red and white car. I'm not sure a cowl hood is right for this car either way tho. Hell, I dont even like the scoops on it now. G8addict 06-10-2008, 03:29 PM LOL are those hubcaps or wheels? Either way that is pretty bad! G8 612 06-10-2008, 05:43 PM pretty bad, I like what I have now 68Rustang 06-10-2008, 07:29 PM What purpose would a cowl induction hood serve on a fuel injected car that sucks air in from behind the headlight other than look stupid? :dunno: Josh@ARH 06-10-2008, 07:45 PM What purpose would a cowl induction hood serve on a fuel injected car that sucks air in from behind the headlight other than look stupid? :dunno: Whats the point of the scoops on the G8? :judge: You would actually be surprised how much heat a cowl lets out. My friend races her GTO and we compared it to another 04 GTO with a stock hood. The intake manifold was noticeably cooler on her car. macgto 06-10-2008, 08:54 PM Whats the point of the scoops on the G8? :judge: You would actually be surprised how much heat a cowl lets out.

If we are going to be adding retro styling cues to these cars somebody should make some louvers for the rear window. Slizzo 06-11-2008, 10:16 AM They're still functional hood scoops as they allow fresh cool air into the engine compartment. :) | ||
