  • WS6 Hood/Firehawk Conversion...

    Welp, I've kinda ruled out a Firehawk hood because they are so damn expensive. I can get a WS6 hood at a good price but I like the look of the Firehawk hood better. My question is how hard would it be to cut the 'splitter' inside the nostril, to make it two large nostrils instead of 4 smaller nostrils.

    thanks

    You can get a Raptop or a Ram Air HO hood that only has 2 nostrils.

          I'm sure you could do it relatively easy, probably could cut it out yourself and have a body shop do some sort of touching it up. Just be carefull of cracking it probably. The only thing is I'm not to sure how good it's gonna look, try get someone to photoshop a WS6 hood with those parts cut out

            you can't cut out the nostril and it look like a firehawk....The WS6 hood has tim around the hood part of the nostril and not the bottom portion. The Firehawk hood is larger but it follows the lines of the nostril opening and is smooth. IMO, the WS6 hood looks better
