Raptor Hood

[PontiFireFalcon]

Are any of you guys familiar with the Suncoast Creations Raptor Hood?
Do the optional heat extractors offered for that hood look anything like the ones on SLP Firehawk hoods and U.S. Exotics WS9 and SuperHawk hoods?

I'm looking for a hood that resembles the Firehawk hood. I've been researching and have disovered that U.S. Exotics used to make an old version of the Superhawk hood with smaller scoops. http://rides.webshots.com/album/97375370KQtndi?start=0That's the kind for thing I'm looking for. Do you think that U.S. Exotics would make another one if I asked for one?

While we're on the topic, what are your guys' favorite hoods?

ws9 outlaw. I'll get one once I get the cash if roger is still making them. They are made of better quality than stock ws6 hoods

Re: Raptor Hood

why does a firehawk hood only fit a firehawk? wasn't it the same body as regular formmula/trans am body with a different hood, spoiler, and performance upgrades?

The actual hood doens't line up witht he front bumper. It turns out the front bumper is shaved down a little. I found this out when I bought the hood for more than it's worth, and was unable to install it

Because SLP cuts up the stock front where the hood meets so that they can put the Firehawk logo on the front of the car as well as make the lines smoother and because unlike the stock hoods, the Firehawk hood forms to the shape of the nose while the stock hoods rest above it.
