Personally, I like the WS06 hood, but the Firehawk hoods are LESS aggressive/intimidating IMO. Tuff choice, but you will have to modify to get the Hawk hood to fit!

Not sure about the WS06

Love the Firehawk hood, but the WS6 just looks tougher, more aggressive.

I can't decide, they both look great. Maybe a firehawk just to be different?

The ws6 hood doesnt flow with the lines of the car IMO. I love the firehawk and raptor hoods.

I like both but the ws6 is just scoops slapped on top of the flat hood you have now. The firehawk ties the whole front end together. While it may be less aggressive it looks more belonging which is why I looked and eventually found one. There is one thats on ebay right now that is slightly damaged check it out if thats the route you choose. Plus just think of how many of each and that might help your decision as well.

The WS6 hood means business and can be recognized from a distance. With the Firehawk hood I always have to give it a second look because from a distance it looks like a plain T/A.

So I vote WS6.

All of this is MHO only.

lol two scoops slapped on the flat factory hood. The Ws6 hood does look more aggressive and who wouldnt want that. The fact that the fire hood ties everything in is crap, because the ws6 hood does as well.

I'm not dissin the ws6 at all I'm just saying in my opinion it ties the front bumper with the hood better mainly because it blends in better with the bumper more so than the ws6 with all of its extra lines and ridges creating 4 smaller holes than two smoother holes. Take it for what its worth. I've seen the base model the ws6 and hawk hood all in person and its only my opinion take it for what its worth.

Firehawk without a doubt. WS6 hoods a little too flashy for me.

The only thing I dislike about the raptor hood is that little "thing" at the front of the hood that sticks out, whereas the Firehawk sits flush with the bumper.


Quick Reply: I'd like to get a general Consensus WS6 or Firehawk Hood?
