No stacks on this one. The exhaust will exit through the fender. The turbine housings will be coated and it will have a heat reflecting mat. on the under side of the hood.

I just think raised WS6 hoods are the ugliest, and notching it makes it look like an after thought.

Are you guys doing a rear wing? I'd be interested in seeing pics of what you are doing on the Hatch, especially if it's a Trans am.

jesus people! I'm sure the top is going to be molded in as well as the front . You do understand the car is being BUILT right? Maybe next time they should just wait tell the body work and paint is done to post pics so your dumb *** doesn't think it looks like a after thought.

Thats why I also have a 99 vette (Hard top cause the coupes are gay looking) and a 99 Transam.

Why not be close minded and open to constructive critisism? So theres going to be humps molded into the hood over the holes so there is no holes there? And being build right has nothing to do with ones taste in cosmetics.

That's an expensive hood to be chopping on. I may end up doing the same thing if I can't fit my large single under the hood. Although it will be my stock 93 hood. Are you going to be able to get the Vbands on the turbine housings with it that close to the hood?

The turbine housins have a good amount of clearance, so its not going to be a problem.
