Default Aftermarket Trans Am hood question? Someone has to know.

Someone's going to give me a quick answer on this, I know that...I can't remember who makes a certain aftermarket LS1 Trans Am hood, anyone know it?

It looks 100% factory WS6 up front, but has an ever so SLIGHTLY larger cowl area out back. You almost wouldn't even notice it wasn't a stock WS6 hood unless you really keep looking.

I want one but I can't for the life of me remember who's hood it is. I checked VFN and Suncoast Creations, nada. And I know it's not the Moore Performance hood, although I like that one too.

Anyone know??

Theirs seems to be exactly like the stock WS6 hood, not really any difference in back of the hood.

isnt Suncoast's WS6 or 9 hood supposed to be a little bit bigger? I know USE WS9 Outlaw is bigger but it also has hear extractors.

The hood you pictured is 100% for sure VFN. That is the hood you want, fit finish and quality next to none

U sure? I didn't see it on their site at all. None had the same blended lines at the back of the hood like that. It has a smooth "swoosh" thing going at the side of the cowl towards the back.

I think you hit the nail on the head...the more I search, the more it looks like that's the hood. It has more subtle outlines around the nostrils and the same cowl look. I hadn't heard of this company until you mentioned it, but I think you're right!

Now I have to find someone with a nicely painted black one who wants to trade for an OEM WS6 hood.

Dude, it's VFN, it's on the site. I have the same EXACT hood. Don't let these others fool you.
