Default Firehawk hood on a Formula????

Hey guys I was just wondering if a Firehawk Hood will bolt on to a Formula with any problems??? Some guys have said yes and other told me I would have to hack up some stuff??? Dunno, I want one but I dont want to do any cutting or mods to the body for it to work. Thanks

Hack Up?! C'mon... all you have to do is make a small cut.

But on the FAR RIGHT side of this picture the little 'tabs' that come inward toward the engine bay a little need to be cut

its not too much cutting. but i decided against it because if one day i do trade in the car, i would take every aftermarket part off, including the hood and then trade it in. but if i had a firehawk hood, i would have to get a new front fascia. i would go with the raptor hood IMO

If I had to choose, I would vote for the Firehawk hood. It has the functional heat extractors that are right above the exhaust manifolds. Plus the extractors will let some of the high air pressure ( built up under the hood) out when you are driving at triple digit speeds.

Thanks for the info guys, I think the Raptor hood and the Firehawk hood are close or the same??? There is a guy in Gettysburg who makes the Raptor with the heat extractors I think??? I don't know yet what I want to do... I do want that type of hood and a set of chrome hawk wheels, I guess I am a poser LOL, Not trying to clone but my buddy has a Formy Hawk the same color as my car and I LOVE the way it looks.

I have a set of painted 'Hawk wheels that I would take $150 for. Two are new and two have minor curb rash. (I didn't do it). It would be the perfect project for someone to strip the paint. sand, and polish to perfection. I have no use for these wheels.

Yes, all 4. I don't have pics. It's silly, I work a computer job all day and I don't have a computer at home. Do you live near Atlanta? Take a look in person.
