Yes, the hood will just bolt right on. Been considering doing the same thing with my Formula, I'm a little tired of the Raptor hood.

yeah, the the Ws6 bulge more and the nose holes are bigger, but then again with the raptor hood its unique and I have had a few offers if i wanted to sell mine. so i'm in between.

I would go Superhawk hood from Roger If I was you and had the money. I just don't like how the WS-6 hood "breaks" the nostrils into 4, instead of 2.

Personally, I don't like how most hoods like the Raptor, Superhawk, etc, don't fit worth a crap around the front fascia and there's always weird gaps. If my Formula didn't come with the Raptor hood on it, I would have never put one on.

i am probably off topic a little but...

I like that the Superhawk and Raptor hoods have the two large openings instead of the 4 like a WS6 hood but i do like the more aggressive contour lines of the WS6 hood over the softer curves of the Superhawk and Raptors. I have done some looking and i cant really find a happy marriage of the two styles except for doing the WS1 hood mod, but i have never seen one in person or have any idea how to work with fiberglass.

I would keep it. Looks better than the WS6 hood for sure and is very unique. It also looks much better up front because the nostrils are not broken into 4 openings.

I like how it's 2 openings rather then 4 also. I'm going with the smoothie q hood.

DrEvyl, if you ever sell the raptor let me know, I would love to have an already painted BPM one.
