Advice needed-Firechicken on WS9 hood? I need to get my US Exports WS9 hood painted and I absolutely LOVE the look of the firechicken (either ghost or std paint - see examples) where the wings flame out onto the side of the car. I really want that look, but I've only seen it on the non-ram air hood and I'm a bit worried about the firechicken looking ok on the scooped hood. What do y'all think?

Ive got a U.S. Exotics (not export) hood myself. I have the WS9 Outlaw version. The problem is a giant firechicken doesnt look right on a ram air style hood. It works great with the stock non WS6 T/A hoods, but Id look to do something else like ghost flames or something like this:

It can look really good on a non WS6 hood, but I wouldn't do it on a WS9 hood... those things are awesome as they are!

I think it could be done, but none of those above look good. The ghost flames look better than a bird.
