There's WS9s and WS9 outlaws.....WS9 outlaws have a 4" cowl....WS9s have 3" stock WS6 cowl size. ...nostrils are the same....but WS9s are ******* wack don't get one...only retards get them.
VVVV I don't know who's car this is...but it's ******* ugly and tasteless..don't do it.

They both look good but I like the ws6. Of course I have a ws6 so I might be a bit bias.

Lol, I was wondering.. Didn't know if I was missing something or not. lol. I like the heat extractors, but I'm abit biased too. Not sure, but if the "superhawk" is the one where the "nostrils" stick farther forward, I'm not a fan.

WS9 for sure. The standard WS6 hood is way overdone.

lol. how is it over done? giving a t/a a ws6 hood seems like a perfectly acceptable thing to do. and besides some ppl don't like the heat extractor on the ws9 hoods.

I have a ws9 outlaw on my car from VFN...absolutly love it!! I have a ws6 and pondered the though of getting a different hood..but i couldnt see myself getting rid of the ws6 hood. As the car got abit more aggressive looking with the slicks/skinnys..the ws6 just didnt fit anymore. The ws9 outlaw hood fits the aggressive look of the car much better then the ws6 did.
