Very nice! I think this is the first time I've seen the ws6 hood on a white LT1 T/A. It's changing my mind about getting the predator.

Also... I really think I should now take off my side moldings because that is freakin clean!

Your car is really coming along... Very tastefully done.

I am getting a SUNOCO hood soon and will need to paint it.

Thanks. Looks great!

It's an early (93-95) firehawk hood guys, notice the difference in the scoops, they're a bit more rounded. They were made at Fiber Concepts for GM. Great looking hood, there is a guy on ebay that was selling new Firehawk Air Box's for $150 but we bought 2 of them so i'm not sure if he has anymore, haha. Car looks great man
