I put a cold air intake on my Malibu. It looks real good,but I don't have hood clearance so I took the hood off. I really want to be able to park my car with out anyone trying to steal what I put on my car. A cowl hood won't work due to the way the intake sits and I really don't see to many options when it comes to 80 Malibus.

I bought this one used for $50 at a swap meet.Spectre has them for like around $250 to like $300 give or take the components you get with it. http://www.jegs.com/i/Spectre/865/9859K/10002/-1?parentProductId=769283, this is a link to the jegs catalog I found after I bought mine.

Several here.

I would use the Max Wedge scoop to fit over both of your cold air filters.

Whatever one you choose, they will mold it to the hood if you order the whole deal from them.

I'm sure they could stretch one to fit if needed.

And....VFN is known as one of the quality fiberglass companies.

I tried them already. They told me that they can't do it,then they told they wouldn't mold me a custom hood cause it would mess up their mold. So then I asked them what hood do you have that would fit,they told me none of their hoods would fit.

Sorry to hear that response from VFN.

Google the subject and learn to make your own scoop. :-k

No one would have one like yours. \:D/

Consider one of those forward facing, wide scoops that were on the early to mid sixties Super Stock Dodges. ~ Jon

I did have that idea,a buddy of mine had one and we set it up. It didn't look to well,I was trying to find the hood that's on the GBODYPARTS advertisement on the blue Malibu up top. I might have to buy a 2" cowl hood and cut for it for clearance.
