I don't believe much other than one fits a Trans Am and the other fits a Firehawk with the Firehawk bumper.

Also I believe the Superhawk is a little more aggressive looking with slightly larger scoops, maybe bigger nostrils too...could be totally wrong though

A superhawk is about 1.5" higher in the back comapred to the firehawk hood. More aggressive is a good way to describe it.

Yeah its considerably taller. Noticeable from the driver seat compared to a stock ws6 hood.

"Ebay Hood"? There's no such thing... Ebay doesn't manufacture parts. People make stuff and then USE Ebay to sell their product on.

Just sayin'...

Ok, for clarification, a cheap knock off hood that's marketed by an Ebay company.

quality of the hood and fitment are horrible. the ones i've seen look like some guy just took 20 minutes to carve a half *** hood out of Styrofoam. maybe exaggerating a big but you get the picture.

^ Have always loved that red bird. Great looking car Crimson. And the hood looks like it fits pretty damn good.
