jman - What was the actual price on these hoods?

blueeyeddevil - the black hood does look pretty sick on that red car lol

blkbird - i think it looks funny because we rarely see it done, but IMO it looks nice and clean

To me that hood is too close to a stock hood. but different strokes.

I molded in the front of my car a couple years ago.

Honestly, I almost did bid on that hood, but I don't want to use my credit card that hard! Nice win; and what a nice, shiny, new prize!! Swat

Hey that red car is mine. Roger took that pic when he put the hood on for me. Here are pics of it painted.


I have since went with a WS9 as I just like the more aggressive nostrils.
You will be very happy with any hood you get from Roger.

Sure wish I would have known he'd start making them again. I was all ready to order one from him, and had talked to him about it, but then I called to order and he said he broke the mold and wouldn't be doing them anymore. Said he was doing viper hoods instead now. If I would have known he'd start making them again, I'd have waited from buying the raptor hood for this one. Oh well now .....

i was also set on buying the raptor. the raptor is a sick hood. when i saw roger posted a superhawk and the price was relatively low i couldnt pass it up. hopefully it fits as well as everyone says his hoods do

I'll try to remember when I get home....I will admit that as a short guy I have no idea where my headlights are after I put the hood on.

Good for you! This is actually the first time I've seen this hood, and I really like it!

What color is your car? And do you have a larger spoiler like a TA/WS6 or a smaller one like a formula?

It sounds like you have your hands full right now, but later on you should look into upgrading the spoiler to a T/A style one. I've always loved the way they look (especially with the larger WS6 hood). It would go perfect with the aggresive lines of this new hood. But like I said, it looks like you got a lot on your plate already.
