that^. the center sections don't flow extremely well with the rest of the hood/car, their lines are too straight. every other body line is very curved. i think they'd look better if reshaped to flow more
yeah, it's always good to see the vendors bringing new products to the table.

I like the nostrils & the heat extractors, but not so sure on the center area.What's the purpose of those openings?
Are they functional?
Any way you can do the hood wihout those?
(Yea, I know, then it's just another 'SuperHawk' style hood. But that should sell also.)
Good to see one of the vendor get on board & produce such a hood!

Back on topic, I like the hood its unique and something different.

The nostrils look similar to the Superhawk, only more rounded. I think a bit of a sharper edge on the upper "corner" would look better, more aggressive. Something between the current setup and the Superhawk.
The center heat extractors don't look good at all. They break up and ruin the smooth lines of the hood. I also think the "nostril humps" should be a little shorter. It would make the nostril lines flow into the "humps" better.

To this:
It would be interesting to see this on both your WS6 hood and WS9 hood.

I like the nostrils, better than any other nostrils out there, but I agree with everyone else and think the extractors on the ram air scoops are a bad design.
If you ever decide to build the hood without the scoop heat extractors, I'd pick up one.

i am leaning towards liking it, but the center tab between the nostrils has to be more flush to the piece the comes "up" from the bumper so it looks nearly seamless, as far as the heat extractors in the middle i think that is aweseom they are functional. I would also like to see the mesh be like the stock ws6 mesh so it looks more factory otherwise it looks cool

I like it. I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to fill in the center extractors for those who don't want them. Me personally, I never really cared for the side extractors on these cars. I think they're kinda pointless other than looks. Being placed pretty much over the strut area, I don't think that's a high pressure area, and the size of the extractors aren't big enough to effeciently extract the exhaust heat...I could be wrong though.
But the nose rawks!!
I think it'd be pretty sweet if you can design an iroc "style" spoiler to go with it.

Well, I know these will go into production as soon as I order my "superhawk" hood. Crimson, I want you to know this will be based on your experience/fitment with the "seller" You know who I'm talking about

Like i've said, when my body guy was done with mine, it fit and looked great. I didn't look at how it looked when i got it, just dropped the box and the car off at the shop and picked it up when ready. (a look at how it lines up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/la-rue/...7624699688845/ )
I'm no body guy, so i can't say anything about the work involved to get it right. I suggest having a good body shop deal with it. and i've never see another aftermarket hood good in person to compare quality to, all i know is what i've seen, which are my two hoods, so i'm not sure how big of a help that is.
good luck.

I know...just messing with ya. I know you caught a lot of grief regarding the product, and seller.
Back to topic, I think the center extractors would look great with stripes. Especially with the checkered portion busting out of the voids...might be a nice transition.
Someone here has to have some mad Photoshop skills to play around with it. Hell, he provided a full side angle shot. Someone have some fun, and try to show the potential it has.
