i think the firehawk/raptor style hoods look better on the firebird's cuz of the different front bumper. like it was said with the t/a bumper the ws-6/9 hoods match their bumper better.
i think i would go the route of the superhawk hood tho

My vote goes for the SLP Ram Air H.O. hood.
I think the WS6 hood looks good, but it looks "slapped-on" The line through the nostrils looks out of place, ruining the lines.
The Firehawk and Raptor hoods are both great hoods and flow VERY well with the lines of the car, but I don't think that they have the aggressiveness of the SLP hood. I wish I could find a pic right now but can't, but if you compare the lines between the SLP hood and the Firehawk/Raptor hood, the two have gradual lines that are fairly subtle, and curve towards the A-pillars. The SLP hood is a much more defined line, rises up a bit more, and basically shoots straight back. So yeah, that's what I think makes it the best hood, because of the in-your-face aggressiveness while still following the curves, and also because of the rarity.

Here is a WS9 outlaw hood:
Don't mind the bugs...

It sits higher than the Ws6 hood, which gives a more aggresive look and also comes with the Heat extractors.

Glad to see the Raptor getting some love. I love the Firehawk hood, but it's just lacking a slight bit in aggressiveness and the Raptor gives that extra aggressive edge the Firehawk hood needs. It does lack the heat extractors which are awesome (and the reason I like the WS9 hood over the factory style WS6 hood), but it makes up for it with the flow of the rest of the car.
