the ws9 is a ws6 hood with firehawk heat extractors on the far edges of the hood...the raptor hood is a bigger version of the firehawk, which you can get with or without the heat extractors....both hoods are very sexy looking...i wish vfn got the work for the superhawk hood, that would of been sick

There is a store on ebay. U.S. Exotics. They are hand made and very high quality. I don't think they make the smaller Superhawk anymore. They have the taller Superhawk Outlaw. This hood has been renamed the Superhawk. If you want the smaller scooped version, I think you would have to get the Raptor.
The nose on the Raptor and the Firehawks are really close in size. I guess you could say the old Superhawk hood is no more. If I hear about someone making one I'll post back.
Here is a pic of my Raptor.
Another members car with one:
There's a lot of threads comparing the hoods, just search for them to see the differences.
Below is the Firehawk. They are almost identical except the Firehawk has the little holes on the sides for heat to get out and the nose requires cutting.

I'm probably going to sell my Raptor hood and instead get a fiberglass front bumper cover and customize the air inlet openings. Now that will make your car turn heads more than any hood will. It's cheaper, too.
You can get an E-1 fiberglass bumper for $400. I may keep it stock or else I may rework it. I'm also interested in the Heritage front end.
