Default I spent money on APPEARANCE?

If you visit my site, you will see that I'm waaaaay out of balance when it comes to performance vs appearance modifications. So, I recently picked up a factory WS6 hood for the Formula. I've always wanted a WS6 Formula, but now I just have a faster one that looks just as good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

<img src="http://users.ev1.net/~ynot_dv8/WS6hood1.jpg" alt=" - " />

<img src="http://users.ev1.net/~ynot_dv8/WS6hood2.jpg" alt=" - " />

<img src="http://users.ev1.net/~ynot_dv8/WS6hood3.jpg" alt=" - " />

I'm not done yet! Bogart 17" road racing wheels and a custom paintjob coming soon! I'm thinking Grand Sport blue....

Nice Tony. That stock hood is just a bit too plain.. Like the Z28 hood, but better. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Your car is awesome! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Do you know why show cars win most races?

The main difference between a show car and a true track car is most show cars

look faster

That is how we disguise ourselves so the competition never race us...we look sooo fast sitting still. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Pulling those front wheels must be an awesome feeling, very sweet! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I like the grand sport blue idea. Are you going to keep the wheel well stripes and the center white pad also?

Pulling the front wheels on the launch, man there just isn't a cooler feeling with these cars! A 1.4X 60' time in a 6-speed is just awesome to feel, so violent!

Vince, I'm thinking Bogart RR10 racing wheels. I've got some pics of them on a black SS. DROOL!

Negative on the white stripe, I just like the blue color and want something a bit different from NBM. I love the NBM, but its too common now.

The hood looks sweet!! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> Mind me asking how much it was for the hood and getting it painted and all.I need to get one on my car when i get the money. And o yea..the grand sport blue thing....great idea. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

That is one bad formula. I would leave it but the grand sport blue will look great too.

Tony...looking good! I saw a Mustang LX painted GS blue at Norwalk. It looked really nice. I concur with your choice 100%. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

99Tran, I had it easy. I bought the hood used from a local guy that had a navy blue Trans Am. No painting or assembly required <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Hate to be the one to break it to ya, but the blue on Grand Sports isn't called Grand Sport blue, it's Admiral Blue <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Very nice. I like the hood with that rear spoiler.
I've never been a fan of the big honkin' WS6 wing.

The color is going to be schweeet!!

Tony- you should just paint your car electron blue like the Horsepower store's Formula. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
