I have been waiting for someone to make a different hood other than the freekishly overdone WS6 hood, but I think I will continue waiting for either an original Superhawk, or keep my sleek beak. For me the hood is way too busy. Looks like a Superhawk, Firehawk, and a Mustang all jammed on to one to create an overly busy hood that reminds me of some of the Honda hoods w/ a million heat extractors. It would look better on a TA, but way too busy for the subtleness (<--- I mean that in a good way Formula owners 
) of a Formula.
I don't have photoshop, so I cannot post pics, but I would get rid of the Firehawk extractors, eliminate the mustang scoops, and make the center devider between the nostrils more gradual and less of a sharp edge. Round the edges more.
Someone I think on page 2 made a photoshop of a WS6 hood w/out the center bar (the center bar is why I will never own a WS6 hood) that I actually like better if it was tweaked slightly. To me, a WS6 hood looks like a sleak beak that someone went to Summit and glued on those cheap fake plastic hood scoops on that have that goof center bar. Scoops look like an afterthought.
Not bashing your product. It takes a lot of work from design to development, just not my taste. But looks like a good amount of people like it so it should make some $$

I didn't do that one 
I just removed the side heat extractors and rounded the middle ones. Although without the side heat extractors, the sharp edges on the middle ones probably wouldn't be bad. Plus it looks really uneven on that shop...

It's getting there. Jus' one pointer:
In the revised photoshop, the only thing that was "rounded out" were the corners. The straight line that connects from corner to corner is out of place with the whole hood, (and car mind you). In addition to rounding the corners, have a slight curve in the line as well. Use the shape of the nostrils as inspiration.

It's like almost there... the reverse scoops in the center ram airs just look like an after thought. If they mirrored the side heat extractors, then maybe, but as it sits, it's just not quite right. This isn't just my opinion, my wife who's a graphic artist and designer had the same thoughts... for what it's worth.
