lol sorry yes HAVING was the word. Anyhow, Ive got plans for my 2,408. and 56 cents lol. a hood an actual TA bumper cover, so i can sell this formula bumper and a borla cat-back and clear lid CHA CHING! thanks geico!

woops forgot to ask. this may really lead to the final decision cuz i hate non funtioning **** but does the WS9 heat extractors actually function? I mean im sure the holes are to small to draw out much ehat either way but are they at least cutout from the hood and jsut not a hole with a vent over it?

I was told they were functional but I don't think they do ****. Basically, ask yourself do you want heat extractors or no heat extractors? (Regardless if they work because even if they do I certainly do not notice a difference). They are bad *** and unique, so that's why I bought a WS9 hood instead of a WS6 hood.

its really up to you since its gonna be a hood you have to see everyday. But its worth the extra 100 bucks for those heat extractors they look really cool when youre in the driver seat.

I personally don't like the heat extractors but it is whatever you like. It really doesn't matter what anybody else thinks.
