As I'm sure you did, I just spend some time searching the internet for any pictures on a car. You would think with all of the measurements and fitting that would be required to develop a hood like that, a company would certainly have a test vehicle available. Moreover that they would know the value of having a mounted picture. Sorry, no luck. It is an intriguing design though. It's too bad that the hood requires hood pins. I think it would look a lot sleeker without.

I have seen it before on ebay, kind of like it myself. If I had a sleek beek bird I might try this hood out first. (but painted car color)

There's those flush mount pins that would look GREAT on this hood. Standard pins would look like doggy poo. I'm on the fence about this hood. a mounted pic and a view of it painted would help sway me.

I've seen it before and I think it's came up on here before to. But I've never seen a car with it on before.

An A for effort. For anything else, well...an A for effort.

Edit:
The more I look at it, the more of an idea the left side of the car (right side of the pic) give me somewhat of an idea of what the hood would look like. In my opinion, and take that with a grain of salt if you like the hood, it is your car and if you like it GET IT, the center just doesn't flow like someone previously said it would not. However, The heat extractor/Viper-look-a-like vents actually look amazing. So while my post is before skorpion's, my edit isn't and I must agree. I too would like to see this on a WS6 style hood!

I love the way this hood looks. The Viper-style heat extractors are awesome. I posted a pic of this hood in the VFN "WSQ" hood thread. I'd also like to see these heat extractors on a WS6 hood.

Ditto. The only place I have seen it is from your post a while ago in the WSQ thread. The last VIS hood I saw had good fitment. I think it was --->carbonfiberbird<--- that had one.

This was the best I could do in Photoshop:



If I were to get this hood, I'd have it painted NBM to match the rest of the car. If I had a black car, I'd leave it all-carbon fiber.
