Default Opinion on Trans Am hood

US Exotics WS9 hood or the Superhawk hood? The WS9 is a ws6 but has the firehawk style heat extractor in the back and the superhawk is similar to the firehawk hood.

Agreed, the superhawk is by far the ugliest hood ever made.

I like the superhawk hood, it is tough looking but still has nice lines. But asking this question is like asking which beer is the best. Some like Bud, some like Miller, some like Coors, while other like small micro brews. Well you get the point.

About the only firebird hood that doesn't look good in my oppinion is the VFN 4" hood, unless you're running single digits and hanging the wheels past the 60' mark.

both, reason being because i currently own both and motly because roger @ us exotics puts out the best hoods ever for these cars hands down. I bought a vfn ws6 hood for my car and i almost cried when i saw that thing, worst money i ever spent. The WS9 is lighter then the Superhawk but both have their things about them. Superhawk is one and only, very unique only like 20 ever made or something like that, mine is #14 i think, but downside is that the grill inserted in the hood is kinda a cheapy mesh looking thing. The WS9 has everything, identical stock Ram air appearance with stock honeycomb grills, plus the heat extractors. WS9 looks meaner but superhawk is just way rarer. Thats why i bought both decisions decisions! us exotics
