Any idea what this hood is called?

It's for the sunfire and the scoop in it is similar to this ( http://www.raceperformanceparts.com/catalog/images/cobalthood.jpg ) in the sense that the scoop does not elevate, but the hood goes down right before it.

Yeah. CGP makes the scoop functional... that's one of the hoods I'm contemplating for my Fire, engine to hood clearance pending of course...

oh forgot to add that the hood is very well made. good fitment and its pretty thick fiberglass. I also dont have any hood clearence problems with my 2200 with a CAI that goes over the valve cover and a strut tower brace. Only problem is that the strut brace sits right inside the vent openin onthe hood so when u look in it you can only see the brace.

SImilar for now

Going with the 95-99 GT front end, WW sides and, if it doesn't sit too low, blitz rear (still need to use my hitch for an auto-x trailer).

I may have different issues since I'll have an engine not offered in J's....

Can you do me a favor and measure the depth of the scoop if you get a chance?

Good stuff ... any idea if a stock latch can be attached to the front of it (on the bottom) instead of hood pins?


Re: Any idea what this hood is called?
Monday, April 30, 2007 10:35 PM
yes the latch can be used it comes with threads installed in the hood to bolt the stock latch in. me and Rich both used the ltach and hood pins with the hood. But now i just use the pins.

Kardain I'll get measurements tomorrow for you if i remember

Does anyone know if they make the Gravana Turbo Sport hood for the Sunfire? I looked at garavanatuning but they don't list any ... however I noticed a guy with a Cav having one: http://registry.gmenthusiast.com/images/extremecavy95/undercon1.jpg ... They look different IMO in that the scoop does not curve in like it does with CCP's (that somewhat horeshoe shape)


Re: Any idea what this hood is called?

Yeah thats my car...... thats the closest they make to the original GM prototype, and its only available for the 95-02 cavaliers. Whats nice about it to is its functional and actually directs air the stock airbox, which is where most aftermarket intake filters sit
