Default After market FireHawk Hood?

Has anyone here purchased an aftermarket SLP firehawk hood, or had one on their hawk replaced with the same thing? If so how do feel the new hood compares to the old? Are you satisfied with it?

You would probably be better off going with a US Exotics version of it

Yeah that's a copy of the WS6 hood. The Firehawk hood is different than that one. The Firehawk doesn't appeal to some people. Personally I think it matches the lines of the car better and has a cleaner less cluttered look about it.

Plus It sets the Firehawk apart from regular T/A's.

From the pics I've seen of the US Exotics hood, I'd have to agree that it does look very nice.
