The last two pictures that Fotis posted are both firehawk hoods, firehawks did have heat extractors.
here is a thread link with a real superhawk hood, https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...d.php?t=950102

really are you sure then whay did my car come with the WS9 visual option and not the WS6 performance but my hood is allways mistaked for a WS6 hood except for when the look at it closer and they realise the difference on it... i went to GM they said it is part of a WS9 FACTORY visual package which is my hood it looks the same from a distance ut different when its up close
don't be ignorent you don't know everything

to the other postes read on.
WS9 is rare thats why ya'll might not know about it but yes it is an RPO code n my door i looked up the history of my car and this is all the stuff that turned up. but ya'll are right its not a hood i read over my papers and i was wrong its actually the ASCD WS6 hood my mistake but here are all the hoods i could find for the Trans Am

WS6 hood
notice the difference in the nostril trim from the factory WS9 and WS6. The WS9 has more smoothe curves just look at the edge by the windshied also notice how on the inake tip there isn't the same the WS9 goesnt hae the grove that outlines where air goes in like the WS6 does
WS1 hood
the WS1 hood is a WS6 hood with out the split line where the air goes in and italso doesn't have the grove outlining where the air goes in
Raptor Hood
the raptor hood has smooth curves and no separation like the WS6 or the WS9 hood

Mecham Hood
this hood is most similar to the Raptor hood but it has heat extractors on the nostrels
Superhawk Hood
this hood is most similar to the firehawk hood except for the fact that it has heat extractors beside the nostrels

BTW, if you want to talk rare, I also have the "1SX" RPO, its the "75th Anniversary Package". Yes its real. 2001 was the 75th Anniversary of Pontiac. The package was offered on a few different models (including Grand Am, Bonnevile, Sunfire, etc.).

OK back to the OP question. this about the best pic I have without going and peeling the cover off and taking new ones. If you look at the very top of the pic you can see the screen on each side of the back of the hood which is the heat extractor. Comes out right in front of the windshield wipers as mentioned earlier.
This is the hood on the car. My fitment is great but as said I guess some have issues.
