Well guys I thank all of yall again for all those great replies. I know his name is Roger, with US EXOTICS LTD. in Pennsylvania. He told me that we was only making 8 of these hoods, but if you begg him he might make you one. The hood was $1,200.00 bucks but I think it was well worth it. As for the Pic of the inside of my car, I will try and run by the storage tomorrow and snap acouple more of the inside view and under the hood. If you want more info on Roger PM ME! Thanks again guys

Looks badass! F@ck OEM... I say you pull off all those hideous decals (except the side EMBLEMS, pull off the stickers AND the TRANS-AM lettering and side molding)... Get a cool bird (one that matches the side emblem) for the nose plate and call it a day !

You can always put the stickers back on if you decide to sell it... In the meantime get that gawdy $hit off there, you have a BAD@SS car and the stickers detract from it...

While we're on the subject of what I think you should do to your car ...

Paint your mirrors body color:

damn man that's a beautiful hood didn't think he was making any more of those , Roger does some top-notch work, bought his WS9 outlaw about a yr ago and love it


P.S. Another vote to take the gawdy stickers off, takes away from the color and the car in general IMO

To add to the modifications, here's what I would do. I personally like the cleaner, color matched look, especially with lighter colored t/a's.

Looks good. I don't know if its the lighting in the pictures or what, but it looks like the gaps aren't even at the front of the hood and it looks like the front corners of the hood are lower than the middle. Have you adjusted the bumpers and latches any?

Well I havent adjusted any body panels. I no I need to just a tad bit. But if you have ever had a fiberglass hood you no that it is not going to be perfect. It will have its little defects. The adjusting is going to be hard, b/c you need to adjust the hood while the hood is still fresh b//c once you install it it will cook and mold to however it was installed.
