Now you want a cowl induction hood? Why don't you just get the 93-97 RA1 hood? Like this one.

Oh shit, what did you get Anthony? And Cowbird...that car right has 1407hp and set a speed record of 245mph on wet pavement, and he claimed it had more to go! That's only 8mph less than the Bugatti Veyron which is the faster street produced car ever. Firebird Aerodynamics ;D, and the 91-92 were more aerodynamic than those previous years. In fact, they were at the time(and may still be, don't know for sure) the most aerodynamic car pontiac had ever produced.

Like when I push down on it - it squeeks....wd-40?

No WD-40...time for new struts/springs. If your car isn't low enough for you, even though you can barely get a jack under it.......now is the time to go with lowering springs or something. DO NOT go with the cheap brand of struts/shocks like what autozone/advance offer(MONROE)...KYB and Bilstein is what you want to go with. For good or atleast decent struts, expect to pay a bit less than $200 just for the front end!! unless you go to the junk yard and find a pair that are in good shape. Up to you. Otherwise if you need help...you know where the help section is...get the parts, and we can help you.

Are Camaro Struts/Springs Universal? Like the same yrs (89-92)? If I were to purchase them from a 89 camaro/firebird/trans am would they work?

Yes, they all have the same spring pockets and all use Struts. There is a difference in the strut mounts.... the retainers are different after 89 but they still able to be changed to fit.
KYB GR2 struts are about $50 a piece, they are some of the most affordable performance shocks out there. I have them in both of my Camaros now.
