I know that the clearnance that a sunoco hood gives a camaro will work for what I need, so if it's the same height as that then I'll be good.

That's all I needed to know, just waiting for the GP

That does suck. I was under the impression from earlier posts that the bolt on version would be available right away after the pin on version. Guess ill be waiting.

I've emailed you guys before asking about that. I even saved your pics off the website, circled the area I was talking about and attached the pics to the email. Never got a reply.. If it looks like the raised bolt-on version (no bulge), but is extended to the windshield and is pin-on, you have yourself a deal.

That's exactly what I said in my email 1 1/2 years ago when I was having my car painted. I wanted to do the hood at the same time, and never got an answer. So for now I'm rocking the stock hood with fresh paint

Do you guys keep hoods already built in stock? I tried to order a ws.9 outlaw hood,but it was a 6 week wait. I don't want a 6 week wait for the money i'm spending for something I want now. any in stock?

Lol not yet! I had my WS9 Outlaw for sale but have kind of pulled back on it because one they haven't released the pin on yet which they said was only a couple weeks aqway from a GP and two they now have no set release time on a bolt on. Now with no updates I don't know whether to sell my hood or not? They said they have other Firebird parts in the makings but won't tell us what they are? What's the deal VFN?

Thats great! Glad they start a thread here and dont update it with the GP sale! It was supposed to be said here when they had the GP? Also there still is no mention of the bolt on version of this hood that was supposed to follow the pin on in a week or two after??? Your hoods look good though. What did shipping roughly cost you?

Yep,

no problem

It costs about $25-30 for packaging, and then about $85 to ship from their place to a business in Nashville, TN. Very reasonable i think.

Sure! I think a friend got some pics this weekend, so I'll post up the pics. We had to throw the fenders back on it just to get an idea.

The build quality is excellent on this hood i have to say. I don't think it's going to require alot of prep work for painting. Only complaint i have is why the hell did they use tape directly to the hood for shipping?! it's going to be a PITA to get that stuff off.
