Suncoast Creations hood?

[Kham]

How are there hoods? Do they have any problems? Also hows there build? Also what hood you think looks better raptor or ws6. I cant decide. My car is sunset orange and its a 2001! Iam going to be adding black rims and black exhast tips to!

I have the WS6 on my 95 Firebird, It really makes the car stand out!!!!!!!!!!! They are very durable, I've had mine for about 3years, not 1 problem. I only caution you to have the experts install it if you have never tried to install a hood. Big pita to get lined up right. Just don't try to do it by yourself. But beer, call friends and be very careful with the grinder!! :eek:

if you have a 2001 the front clips and hoods are different then the 93-97...so our Predator Hoods(WS6) look different but for ur ride if u want it to look not so common and smooth go with the Raptor but if you want The Mean Look of the Trans Am go with the WS6 hood..........as far as fitting ive never installed a hood before and i did my own it only takes time and patients to line it up right.....as far as fitting suncoast does real good jobs with makin hoods that fit in spot, your putting a fiberglass hood on and it isnt gonna be a perfect hood cuz fiberglass after market hoods dont have a perfect mold there could be spots where it is a little off like on my hood it fit in place good but on the driverside by the headlight it bows up a lil bit nothing horrible bad but noticeable if ur actually looking for it

Thanks for the info V6Firebird94!
I think i might go ws6 hood for the mean look . Yea iam not going to be putting it on. Ill let a body shop do it. I want it to be perfact. Plus i dont really have time. But if any body has anything else to say please post. ALso is it good to get the Heat Extractors? Also does any one have any pics of both hoods on cars. Iam looking more for a side view. Then the front view! Thanks!

i got the heat extractors cut in i mean why not ur spendin the money on the hood whats the extra hundred bucks it only can help......keeps the engine compartment cooler due to more air movement and lettin the hot air out

the heat extractors can be done by you, with only a power drill and some inexpensive screen.


I am in the market for a new hood after a wreck last week, and while i liked the SLP ram air hood, they are unavailable.


Fbodymotorsports.com has an ASCD WS-6 hood for $550. Thats the one Im going with, cause Ive heard good things about the quality of their hoods.

Ive also heard SCC hoods are ok too.
