Default Finally got it on!

Well I finally got of my *** today, and put on my WS9 hood (US Exotics) that I've had sitting here for three years. Have to say only minor work will be needed. The pic below is with the hood just bolted on NO ADJUSTMENTS were done at this time. It gets sprayed in two weeks.

I've used your pics to help me decide. My roof is starting to develop the infamous "bubbles" and I think when I get that taken care of I'll go with the black.

looks really good, but what is the main difference between this hood and an OEM ws6 hood appearance wise only?
I dont care to much about the quality, i just want the ws9 hood to be as close to oem looking as possible, if not ill save up and wait for someone selling an oem ws6 hood..

The WS9 is basically a WS6 hood but with addition of the heat extractors that the Firehawk hood has.

WS6 Hood+Firehawk heat extractors=WS9 hood
