True, PendragonZ could probably hook something up. Check out the multimedia section and either doodfromcali or pendragonz will get ir' done.

Seriously the only reason why there aren't alot of T/A hoods out there in comparison to the 'camaro is b/c the look of the WS-6/Firehawk hoods is enough to draw attention to the car itself. There are different variations of the hoods one from US Exotics is the Firehawk hood but has the bulk of the WS-6 hood, and it looks sharp!!

There is another hood out there.. Its called a mecham hood. (4 port extractor)

(ref. mine): https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/259537-finally-got-some-good-pics-my-t.html

Only downside is that it is outrageously expensive and it will need extensive bodywork once you recieve it then paint

the mecham looks badass, but the quality is not there in the price.

So when is non-functional rice, and when is it not? Unless you carb your motor, I don't see the point of looking like you have.

Don't birds have more hood options than Camaros anyway?

Cool hood, but what about rain/water getting in the bowl thing attached to the intake? There's gotta be someway to let water drain out of it...?

There was a guy who had a GP on WS9 Outlaw hoods but was also working on an Outlaw "Skypredator" or some weird name for the T/As and was BY FAR.. THE BEST looking hood for ANY F body. Imagine a Outlaw version of the FireHawk hood.. Pure sex...
