Heres my regular WS9 hood, I like it a lot. Not a T/A but you get the idea still.

I thought you could order it from Mecham's site. Although, I thought I heard that the fitting isn't as good as the older models.

I'm fairly certain a WS9 hood is no different than the WS6, other than the Firehawk vents.

This is the truth here, the outlaw is taller the regular WS9 is a copy of the WS6 with side vents and heat extractors on the back.

Better pictures at home, that's all I can grab while at work. WS.9 Outlaw, although that's an original USE hood, not the VFN version, although I don't think there are any differences.

I asked about the 4" VFN WS6 hood recently, and the general consensus was, I'd be a flaming mongoloid ricer unless my car was in the single digits if I put that hood on.

Element I really like that hood! I think it needs a little bigger wheel to complete the look, but thats a real clean green bird.

Thanks...the second shot actually got into Popular Hot Rodding one month But I wish she still looked that clean. Two years in an apartment complex really screwed the paint up.

I'm saving up wheel money for some Bogarts - hard to find wheels that look good on a BGC car.
