Raptor... New hood bling. 8)
Er...sorry for the weird pic. It was too bright to begin with, and when I darkened it, it effed up some things.
The hood fit great, but the air box that came with it doesn't fit for shat. Nor did the safety latch that came with it. We actually found it easier to modify the stock latch and use it, rather than try and make the latch made for this hood work.

WS6Extreme, I was looking at the pics of the Pewter T/A, that must be a Raptor hood. It just so happens my vert. is pewter, that hood looks nice. Is the Raptor hood as tall as the WS6 hood, I mean from looking at it from the drivers seat?
Thanks, Eddie

Thanks for the compliments, guys.
FBDYLVR: I did use the LT1 shroud, as was included with the hood from Suncoast. The box that goes on top of that is what doesn't fit. Yours looks way better than mine. The lid that goes over the air filter is so badly warped at the top center just in front of the throttle body that, with everything installed, you can look down from the top and see straight into the TB, completely past the filter. I've got a strip of duct tape on it now, and I'm going to try and call Suncoast or TByrne tomorrow if I have time to see about getting a replacement.
Plus, 1 bolt holds that upper box to the shroud? Cheesy.

Yea I would say it is a tad shorter as well. I like it a lot; however I have a replacement in the works though. It will be a hybrid of the Raptor hood and modified Mecham style design.

Raptor hoods look the best 
nice choice
I got mine through insurance. Some stupid girl backed into me at a stop light so I paid the extra money for the Raptor hood. It was only like 100$ differnce.
