Default Update:aerocatch latches and VFN WSQ hood on my white TA (PICS)
Got the WSQ hood on the car finally tonight. We started cutting holes in it for the aero catch latches. Once the latches are done we will center up the headlights better. Let me know what you think. VFN also went as far as to remove all the baffling since I am a turbo car and want to draw out as much under hood heat as I can.

That is possibly the ONLY hood I would get rid of my SLP H.O. hood for! Looks just sexy Willizm! Also having a bad *** turbo build doesn't hurt either lol

Nice! Looks great! If you don't mind, I'm going to add one of your shots to the WSQ Archive on my site.

looks good!

so does the bumper have to be cut/trimmed there at the center to allow it to sit smooth with the hood?

Does the water just flow in and dump on the intake or is it routed out?

Sure, not a problem. I can get better pics once the latches go on and I adjust some things to make it line up better.

I have to loosen up some things and adjust it up front to make it sit better.

It's a turbo car so I don't have the typical ram air setup anymore. My turbo sits right between the nostrils and the main extractors which I had vfn make functional. This is a fair weather car so hoping to minimize any rain it will see.

I'm jellous, I want WSQ on my TA / Hawk but I need to get a TA Front bumper cover first since SLP Cuts the stock one to make the firehawk hood fit... dont want a nasty gap in front of the pretty hood.
