Default Hood ?

Can you help me identify this hood. It was on the car when I bought it. There are no markings on it anywhere. Thanks

very small pictures posted, but looks like a Firehawk hood, seeing as the front nostrils are opened up all the way and the heat extractors....

That's an ebay knock off superhawk, judging from the opened up/no grill, and the bodylines/fitment.



Here is my u.s. Exotics hood for comparison.

I wouldnt be supprised if it was a knock off. Your right about it not fitting correctly. I like the way it looks I wish it did fit correctly. Can I ask how you made those pics big like that? I know that sounds like stupid but I couldnt figure it out.

your the first person I've seen call the superhawk ugly. Most members say it's their favorite hood on a Trans Am. If you don't like the superhawk then what do you like?

I sold my stock ws6 hood, the ws9 is cool, but the wsq is definitely not better looking than the superhawk IMO. Those center hood vents don't flow with anything on the car. And the nostrils are a weird shape. Different strokes for different folks I guess. As long as you like it, its your car, right?

I would like mine more if it fit right. I have thought about going to a stock hood fo more of a sleeper look. The car does have a T/A wing on it and I would like to put a T/A rear bumper on it. But I do like the Formula front bumper better.

You do realize there are Formula WS6's right? So even a WS6 hood on a formula isn't mixing and matching.
