Default pics of formula's w/ ws6/9 hood

i have a 98 formula. the color is the chameleon green/blue factory paint with the chrome abs wheels. anyway- im not sure if a ws6 hood would look right (i know if im gonna do it get the ws9 hood instead..).

i remember seeing pics of a black formula w/ aftermarket rims and a ws6 hood. any other pics? im thinking i should probably just make the car faster- **** what the hood looks like but it'll add a little power (i'd buy the airbox too i guess)

I think they look good. The hood adds a lot of character. WS9 hood is a good choice too. Personal favorite except for the mecham hood.

yeah- the only problem is that it is a formula that has no body kit and smaller wing. i don't want the hood to look out of place. like i said i need some pics. the hoods DEFINETLY look good on the t/a but not sure about the forumula's.

Couple days ago i saw a formula with a WS6 hood and it looked sort of awkward because it looked like the rear end was lower and the front was higher because of the hood i guess.

I didnt see any pics of a firebird or a formula with the ws9 hood, but try www.cardomain.com and look under firebirds. I see a lot of formulas/firebirds with ws6 hoods...and the ws6 and ws9 hood are very similar. I dunno...I like them

Ws9 hood is an aftermarket fiberglass hood made by us exotics. It looks like a ws6 hood but with heat extractors. I'm gonna cause of last friday's hailstorm. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

that would be the slp hood. me no likes the slp hood. is cheap in price and seems cheaply made (saw one in person and it didn't fit right- although the car may/may not have been in an accident)

i DO however like the ws6 hood on the formula though. a little odd but still badass nonetheless. it doesn't look too out of place- maybe a t/a spoiler would be nice in the mix also (i work at a junkyard and im SURE there are a few of these smashed somewhere= cheap t/a spoiler)

cool- ws9 hood with brian green (is that name right?) ram air system seems like a plan..

I have seen a Formula with a ram air hood and a T/A spoiler. It looked extremely gay. Without the ground effects it looks like a raised T/A. I personally like the ram air hood alone, and in fact have a NBM 2000 that I'm going to put one on. I saw a silver 98-02 Formula with one, that was lowered and had 315s on the back. It had that old school muscle car look. I will be modding my car exactly the same as money permits.
