I like the Superhawk hood. When I get my formula I'm going to get a superhawk if I can find one... I think VFN has the design but I'm not sure when they are going to bring it out

Stock WS6/WS9 hoods look good but in my opinion the firehawk/superhawk and raptor hoods flow a little better with the curvy soft lines of the body.

What about that SLP one its kind of a mix between the Firehawk hood with the full nostrils molded into the bumper but its also got the raised nostrils like a ws6 instead of the curved ones like the firehawk. I kinda like that one but would rather have a WS9 also

The WS9 I believe was made by US Exotics who's no longer making Fbody hoods. A sponser is trying to get his molds tho so people can continue to buy that hood IIRC.

As far as the pricing, its varies slightly from vendor to vendor. The SLP HO hood is ~$700 from SLP, and I'd assume most of the other hoods are around that cost.

Gotta go for the WS9 and the raptor. Too bad they don't make a WS9 with raptor nostrils. That would look sweet.

Well I am looking to get ahold of a WS9 hood so however much I can get that hood for is how much I want to sell my hood for.
