Default Hood or this..

I've been checking out a hood from a member here and I have a friend who is looking over the PM's (apparently the hood needs some adjustments to fit properly) and while he is doing that I was just looking around. So should I get the hood (WS9) or this reciever for my car .. here

thats a hard one...cant go wrong with a ws9...but at the same time, you do have the lovely sleak beak...however, if your going fast enough, they'll never see the front of that car anyways...but they sure will hear it with that reciever...thats a tough one man

Hood.
Not too often you get the opportunity to pick up a good used hood for cheap money compared to new. You can make adjustments to make it fit better. If not, resell it.
The receiver can be done anytime, ...

I wouldn't buy a hood with fitment issues. Even if the price was good.

You'll end up liking your car less if you have an ill-fitting part on it.

Put the money towards the lawyer bill.

With selling it, I took some advice and have asked for help from the old man (flamesuit on) He is taking care of legal fees, court costs, and the tickets in exchange for docking my paycheck $250/month. I managed to save $1k this last month from commission and working at the restaurant that is going toward the lawyer aswell, who I spoke to and seems realtively confident that he can take care of it, although its not for sure, I dont think I'll have to sell it. The way I see it 4-5 months he will be paid back and I will still make good money for being in school etc. The only bad thing is that I may lose my license, but the lawyer thinks if it goes that far that he will be able to get me a permit for school and work, which Im happy with.

EDIT: SIC FUQR, thanks for the compliments! and Y2K TA: I do know how you feel! Its a TOUGH choice!!

Hey dude it's your car...I won't think any less of you if you swap the hood.

I'm glad you got it worked out so you can keep the car.

Hmmm..I think both you and other people will spend more time looking at the WS9 hood than that 7" DVD Screen. I might be biased though Another thing to think about is the hood will probably cost more money, unless it is already painted the color of your car.

Default Neither...

I have a ws6 and sometimes I wish I had a regular TA. The sleek beak TAs in my opinion are just as cool. The DVD system to me seems useless unless you plan on sitting in your car and watching it. It's your car do what you want to the most...

You have a Trans Am not to be confused with an escalade. You can tell my opinion from my statement. Also there is a firehawk hood on ebay again if your interested in one of those still also. Ws9 or Hawk hood you can't lose.
