Firehawk hood requires minor cutting of the front fascia/bumper panel.
Use the search up there for the threads that show the specific differences.

If I were you, I'd either go for the WS9 style hood, or the Raptor hood, ..., Both of them would bolt on without modification.

The SLP HO hood is another good alternative rather than getting the hawk hood. Also, I may be wrong, but you used to have to have a firehawk vin # to get the hawk hood.

Maybe, what's the worst that can happen. If my hood ever broke I'd go for it too. But maybe someone hear can spot you their hawk vin#

The raptor hood does require a little shaving to get a good fit. I put one on my WS6 this past winter and it does align with the airbox.
