Lowered and Superhawk hood

Picked the hood up awhile ago for 400 bucks. Turned out great on my car.
Finally got the hood painted and put on the car. Also got the car lowered on BMR springs and Bilstein shocks. Next on the list is to install my Yank 3600 stall.
And before you guys say tint the windows, They will be tinted on Thursday. 5% in the back and 20% on the sides.
Let me know what you think.

with a hood as aggressive as the superhawk, I think the car really needs the T/A high rise hatch on the back to complement it. I'm trying to track one down myself before my superhawk arrives.

Honestly I was thinking the same thing. Then once the hood was painted and everything blended in real nice, it just looked right to me. Maybe because my car is black the hood looks more subtle.
Either which way I think the hood looks good. I can always try it down the road since my friend has a TA hatch, unfortunately it is Silver.
I don't know If I would like it or not because I want to keep my car a Formula still.

I agree about the high rise out back. Other than I think it looks great! That hood alone makes me regret selling my Firebird.

got any high quality pics of it as it sits?

Roger is building mine right now and I'm curious as to how good the black gel coat looks fresh out the box with pictures larger and higher res then the ones on the ebay listing.

This might just be me, I think the nostrils are just too big. But I like the round shape of it thought. Maybe the TA tail would make it better.

But car looks really clean.

thats part of why we like it, it eliminates the division line that splits 2 nostrils into 4 that exists with the WS-6 hood.

That's why I like the OEM look. It breaks up that big gap. But to each their own.

Sorry for the late post, was finishing up some suspension on my friends car. Here are some quick side pics. I think my car was on a angle so the suspension sits a little lower when on a level surface. I will post up more when my windows are tinted.
