I do, though mine is a formula. I love the style but the fit could have been a little better, maybe I just got a bad one and/or my body guy could have done more I dunno.
Anyway I hope you are looking into getting a used one cuz he doesn't make em anymore.

I bought one, but it's a little taller near the windshield than a stock WS6 hood. Took it off recently though and I'm trying to sell it locally.

I was looking for that hood for a while but can't seem to find one. I emailed roger at us exotics and he said i was kinda out of luck. If you find a place to get a hood like that, let me know.

I think there is another place that makes one of the same style but I don't know who they are. I found it on ebay though so give that a shot.
