Anybody have a MECHAM hood along with the "OL LUMPY Spoiler.??? That would look funny.

In my opinion, ^ that is the way the front of the car should look. I dont like the split between the inlets on the other hoods...

The raptors and firehawks aren't prominent enough for me. Now the ws-6 or ws-9's.........just plain mean looking!

YA at first I kinda did not like the horizontal line in the front of the WS6/WS9 hood down the middle(That splits the nostril) but the more I looked at it the more I realized to me it looks like it ties in with the line on both sides of the bumper that splits the Day running lights and the empty hole. Also the dual nostril look ties in with the dual hole look on both sides of the bumper as well.

Just realized that I may not have clearly explained it so here is a very detailed chart explaining why I voted for the ws6/ws9 style hood.




(I did not ask permission to use Raider's car so if you want me to take it down I will.)

But I like the lumpy spoiler, just wish it didnt double as a bird bath when it rains.

Let me reinterate that the Raptor hood is the only way to go. Perfect balance between matching the curvy lines of the car, adding an aggressive look to the car, and being rare enough that you dont see one at every F-Body cruise in.

WoW that raptor hood is nasty, I like how there are no slits breaking up the nostril holes. I voted for WS6 but now am second guessing myself.

had to vote WS9 since there was no option for the WS9 outlaw. just got my outlaw installed and is is by far the best looking TA hood. But then again I guess if you saw it all the time then I guess it wouldn't be so sweet, the raritity of it makes it that much better
