I actually agree with that. They look a little cleaner and not so bulky. I only found one online and it was almost $1000. Those are not cheap hoods...I'm going to research a bit more on it now though. I wasn't aware it was called WS9.

Also, what do you think about painting this part of the formula bumper black. I found this online and it doesn't look bad. It's the formula version of the ceta mod...

Not a big fan of the Formula CETA mod.

Just for the record, the only real difference between a WS6 and WS9 hood is two tiny heat extractors on the sides. The scoopes themselves are identical.

Check out VFN Fiberglass. They make quality hoods.

Mine is a real factory WS6 car. That is the stock hood I ordered it with.

The Formula WS6 was only available in 98/99 in Canada and the USA got them in 2000 as well.

They were pretty rare.

BTW I like your harptop Formula.

Thanks. I suppose I'll keep the bumper white.

What do you guys think, should i get a hood of some kind?

What other things could i do to make the car look good? Maybe some decals?

Less made in 1999, not sure why. 175 or 176. Mine is the last year they were available in Canada and I have mine modded to the near max. I have kept all the stock parts, so one day I could return it to stock, though I doubt it.
