Default WSQ vs. WS9 Outlaw

I'm going to get one of these hoods but I can't decide which one. In your opinion which one would look best? I have a 1998 trans am and it's a sunset orange color.

They're both 2 different style hoods. They're both gonna have pros and cons. And they're gonna have their own fans/loyalist.lol Ultimately, you should go with what you really want. Unless you have enough for a "dam I think I should have got the other one.lmao In parting If you still need help after what I've told you. I would like to leave you with this one thought then......everyone and their momma pretty much have hood scoops now a days. IMHO of course.lol

Here's my WS9 Outlaw...





I don't have a hot chick in a bikini in my car, but it's still pretty badass looking.

I've been a fan of your car. Is yours a pin on hood? Mine is one of less than 150 made from the original company U.S Exotics by Roger. He's actually in the process of building me another WS9 Outlaw as a favor. He hasn't made one in well over 5 years.

Mine is also a US Exotics hand made WS9 outlaw. It wsa originally on Fireball's car. It's a bolt on, but Fireball had put hood pins on because at 180+mph the ends started to lift, so he install hood pins. I took it one step further and went with the aero latches.

WOW. I think I might have made my decision lol the WS9 Outlaw looks sick on those cars and it's a little cheaper as well. I did notice that there was a pin on and bolt on style option. What is the difference and which should I go with? Here is my Trans Am.

I don't think you can go wrong with either hood. They both are badass!

If it's a 1998 then it's actually Red Orange Metallic, not Sunset Orange Metallic. Little bit darker and more red than orange.

On topic, I have to agree you can't go wrong with either hood. Both will look badass.

Well thanks everyone for your input! I just gotta decide what I would like to have now lol the WSQ is a little more expensive but it will definitely stick out from the crowd more I think considering I have never seen a WSQ on a trans am in person.

My vote is for the WS-Q Look here for a bunch of pictures of it http://www.qconcepts.org/Art/WSQ/24665985_6mx2nc

Personally I like the "nostrils" of the WS-Q much better and they flow more with the car.

Ultimately it's up to you tho. Do Google image searchs for both hoods and you should find plenty of views / angles of each and a youtube search wouldnt hurt either to find some walkarounds of each.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your decision =D
