i bought an ebay ws6 hood and where the hood meets the winshield there is a lip and under the lip are heat extractors, much better positioning imo

So everyone gets this straight about Roger that owns US Exotics.

He GAVE the WS9 Outlaw mold to VFN. I talked to him when we picked up my hood a little over a month ago.

He still makes hoods for the fbody but one at a time.

He makes the WS9 and the Superhawk only for the fbody

VFN makes the WS6 and WS9 Outlaw hoods

Roger is a super nice guy. I'd recommend his hoods to anyone

Here is a pic of rogers hood. just got painted yesterday. Fits great.
glad to see your car has finally come together tainted.
I have heard some not so great things about the quality of VFN lately (In a recent thread). I had pretty bad experence with them as well but I have never actualy seen there product upclose. Also the VFN Outlaw WS9 is much taller than the original WS9, but if you like big hoods then go the VFN route.
I can say that rogers hood is top notch.

Thanks it cost $1000. Tims custom paint did it for me. The price include having my rear bumper repainted with the ceta mod (some hit and ran on my rear). Also he took off the side bumpers and buffed. Have you gotten yours painted yet flamin'bird.

Well, 9 is bigger than 6, so obviously the WS9 is better. But really, the WS9 is just awesome looking.

WS6 all the way. A WS9 in a knock off SLP car in my eyes. Despite the differences and the intended demographical use.
