Red face WS6 Hood

Hey all,

Anyone with a WS6 able to post photos of the rear of the hood, near the windshield - from both inside the engine compartment and outside the car? Trying to see what the vents look like in that location.

Thanks!

Okay, just confirming. I saw that on a hood and I wasn't sure if it was a real WS6 or not.

The only hoods I know of with vents at the rear of the hood where some of the Firehawk hoods.

Yes, now that you mention it, I remember seeing something about that on their web site. Don't they call them "heat extractors"?

The Suncoast Creations Raptor Hood for the 98-02 Firebirds also has this option. I found this out after I purchased mine. Its also $100 Option.
