Suncoast Raptor Hood installed
I really like that hood but the only thing that stops me from getting one is the opening for the air box underneath. I just don't like how big the opening is and I'm not swaping over to their air box
Your fitment looks really good in the pics. The only reason I didn't get this hood is b/c I know the fitment is hit and miss vs the WS-6 hood. If I could've found a stock firehawk hood then I would've jumped all over it. I think these hoods look great. It seems like the aftermarket raptor hoods don't meet the front fascia in the very center as well as the stock firehawk hood but yours looks good.
Edit-Just noticed your sig and the pic by your screenname is a T/A...do you have a Firebird as well? If so I'm jealous

The fitment wasn't actually good at first, in fact, it was sitting so low that the hood was pushing against the bumper and rubbed some of the paint off. I had to shim with 3 washers underneath each bolt for the latch, and I also need to shim the back too.
By the way, my T/A was stolen, I got this car a month ago, I need to update sig. Thanks for all the nice comments.

looks good, ive had a raptor hood for 4 or 5 yrs now, looks like yours lines up better than mine 
but glad you like it, ive gotten alot of compliments on mine, just make sure no one puts anything on your air filter...someone at a shop did that and now mines all bent.

that hood is 10,000x's better than the WS6 hood.. i just cant stand the split between the intakes.. looks cheaply done
nice call on buying that hood.. makes the cars lines flow so much smoother. im jealous
