Default WSQ Hood
I was interested in buying the WSQ hood from VFN and I was wondering if anyone already had it and if they encountered any issues with said hood?

I have this hood. I really like it but mine still is not adjusted perfectly. With some more time and work I know i could get it about perfect. Either way I love the hood.

I have one too. Had it about a year. Get all kinds of compliments on it. Looks menacing when you see it on the road or in your rear view mirror. The gaps taper tighter as you get to the headlights. Not a big deal to me, but it's not a show car.

I've got one, fantastic hood. Right out the box it fit great with minor adjustments. My body guy had no issues with it at all.

The WSQ is a better looking hood, imo.

This might sound like a dumb question(haven't been home in a while)
Will this fit a Firehawk?

You'd have to get a firebird T/A bumper.. Or a formula one.

I've heard they did this intentionally so you could adjust it and sand it down to get a perfect gap.

Also about fitting on a firehawk I don't think you need to replace your bumper I think you can cut the bumper or the hood (forgot which) tomake the fitment work. If nothing else email VFN and ask them. I'd be interested to know as well since I just got a 2002 Firehawk and I'm going to be looking into getting this hood after new years.
