New Firebird hood design's by VFN On Monday The 22nd We will be unveiling our new hood design for the Camaro's on ls1tech, Since the Camaro Guy's have gotten the most offerings from us , We're also working on some new offering's for the firebird, we have decided to make a cowl hood for the firebird.
So We borrowed a pic off ls1 (1nastyz) and got to work! Since it will be a Cowl Hood it would be open at the back and would be around 3-1/2" in height (Nothing Crazy) also it will angle towards the windshield at the back.
The first design pictured retain's the look of the Ws6 but eliminates the nostrils on the Ws6 which at first glance it would appear to be a ws6 but its really a cowl.
The other design is a smooth cowl design which would actually be smoother along the edges of the scoop and hood than whats pictured, but it would take after the Whistler design on the camaro but have the v shape of the firebird. let us know what you guy's think.

Not big into either one either since I'm not really hardcore into drag racing.. your WS9 hood is **** tho! It'd be nice to see a hood slightly redesigned with some vents like the mecham hood/viper/vette racing series type.

I have to say that a TA hood without the nostrals doesnt look near as good to me. I dont like either one sry. Id try to do a version of the super hawk or raptor hood.

But i would love to see something like the raptor hood, maybe with even bigger nostils like the H.O hood. I would also like to see a WS6 hood that's simular to this mustang good
The indent should start half way at the crest of the hood.
