Default Hoods

[IMG] To all. I am new to ls1tech forums and this is my first post. I am currently in the process of hood shopping for my 2001 firebird Formula. The car came with the stock non ws6 hood. I would like something original and different. I was looking at different hoods from VFN Fiberglass http://www.vfnfiberglass.com/site.htm . They have several different designs but the one that jumped out at me was the WS6 4inch Ram Air. Although im not quite sure that would look good on a daily driver. There was also a company called U.S. Exotics selling ws6's and ws9's. The problem is I havent seen any differnt styles on the actual cars. So can you all post your rides showing the hood or if you have a picture with different styles of hoods it would be much appreciated.

Paul

Try this one it might catch your eye: 4-Port Extractor by Mecham Design
There are pictures of it at a different website to get a better angle, but I don't recall that one.

Actually there are alot of options out there but none that I have seen on vehicles. Theonly hoods I have seen on birds are the stock ones. I live in a isolated area of the usa Holsingerjym I have seen that hood before and I like it. Im looking probably to buy one of US exotics ws9 hoods with the heat extractors. Thanks for the info guys.

Thanks for the replys guys. I liked the ws9's but was hoping for something a little taller to stand out in the crowd and one guy made that possible. The company called US exotics makes these hoods and i placed my order right away. Here is the link HASTA
