Originally posted by CrosX731: AS much as I like the Ws6 hood, I think I like it more with the design of the trans am body. Putting it on a firebird itself doesn't have the same effect. As with the Raptor hood which is on firehawks already have the same body style.
All the late model Firehawks around here are all Trans Ams.
And for the people who says WS6 only goes on Trans Ams, have you forgotten the Firebird Formula WS6?

Originally posted by DarkEcho: you guys have it all wrong, if you are looking for something that flows with the lines of your V6 Firebird, you cant get a ws6 hood. That hood looks great IMO, BUT! ONLY when on a transam/firehawk, because of the bumper.
Firehawk has a diff hood, pretty much like the raptor style. And the Formula came with the Ram Air Ws6 option. So, both the hoods can be seen on the Firebird and the Firebird Trans Am.
Go search for more pics before you buy the hood, you don't want to regret it. Like I said the Raptor hood looks more subtle, while the WS6 people will know for sure you have a Ram Air hood.

I have to admit that the pic of that formula with the ws6 hood looks pretty sick! But I think the fact that its a black car just helps it more as compared to silver. Not a huge fan of the SLP hood. While the design is unique and sporty it just seems too much for me.
I'd get the Firehawk/Raptor/Superhawk hood if my car wasn't a W68. With the ground effects on the V6 only the WS6 hood looks good if you ask me. But on a non-W68 either will work but Firehawk is more sleek and natural looking.

Originally posted by F1GT: A few years back I would've also said Raptor/Firehawk style because I didn't like that horizontal split in the opening of the WS6.
But I love it now and think it looks damn good. The raptor is softer/subtle looking it's so much more rounded. While the Ws6 is so much more defined. It also has another bezel like piece on the leading edge of the nostril giving it more detail. If I was gonna get a hood, I might as well get one that people will see it's WITHOUT a doubt a Ram Air hood. The raptor is kind of like it's between stock and Ws6, well more like 75% of the way there. IMHO.
Look at some of these pics that were posted recently:
thats a really crappy pic of my hood, Ill post some more..........raptor>WS6, true story.
actual order of coolness goes
Mecham - if you have the money to buy the hood, and pay for the work to correct for the crappy build quality
Raptor - it just kicks ***, sorry all
Firehawk/outlaw - badass hood, just a little too subtle for my taste
WS6 - looks good
H.O - at first this was the hood I wanted...then overtime it just looked more and more awkward. it looks like an obtuse triangle from the side.
I guess I\'d have answer your question with another question.<br /><br />How many Abidiginals do you see in modeling??????<br /><br />headers, 3inch magnaflow cat, Loudmouth<br />99 Midnight Blue Firebird<br />3.8L A4
I was wondering how the ground effects would play on that. I photoshoped the hood on my car actually.. the ws6 one. I haven't put a raptor hood on yet.

I asked a lot of my friends what they thought looked better and 8/10 of them said WS6 after seeing a bunch of pictures I showed em. One even looked at the Firehawk/Raptor pics and went "how is that different than your car?... oh the hood is a little bulgier, but barely!"
Nice photochop btw, although it looks like you were in a bad accident [img]tongue.gif[/img] Somebody on here has a black W68 with the WS6 hood, I'll post the pics if you want.

sure post them up if you dont' mind the hassel of digging for em. I know what you mean about the photoshop. Silver is the hardest color to match perfectly. Any other color I can do flawless.
i'd go w/ the raptor hood. every ws6 has that hood and your car won't stand out from the rest. i like to be different, yet tasteful. the raptor hood is just that. i notice a firehawk coming the opposite way, even though its not a bulky hood. your car will have a more custom look since it doesn't look like every other ws6 out there.
