WS6 hood won't fit with the bumper of the hawk already being cut to fit the hawk hood.....just leave it as a hawk........people will question the fakeness of your hawk when you are driving around with a non fitting WS6 hood......

Firehawk, no doubt, just because they are going to be worth more. You know you'll regret it in the long run if you don't!!!

I would just get it because it looks sweet. I personally don't care about resale value, I just care about how I feel with the car when I have it in my possesion.

Firehawk all the way!...Perfect wheels. Beautiful hood. Smoother spoiler. Rare and unique! WS6 = Common, goofy spoiler and cheesy ram air hood. No question, I should have gotten a Firehawk instead of the TA!

Are you positive that the WS6 hood will not fit? I dont really care what someone else would think about the car. It would be done for me not them. But if you are sure it wont fit then I will just find a WS6 car.

According to a guy named Art at SLP the WS6 hood will fit on a firehawk. Looks like that is the route I will go.

The hawk hood will grow on you.
Here is what I would do.................
BUY BOTH
If only money did grow on tree's.
Something no one has said is anything about the wheels.
The Firehawk has nicer wheels correct?
I cant see both cars but I am guessing the wheels are different.
I have a TA and would suggest the firehawk as well because you already have some mods done, it is more valueable, looks a bit more sleek, holds it value better, has better syspension, etc..........
The TA does have 8000 less miles and a nicer hood (in your oponion)
I think you will get many complements on both.

I would love to have both but there just isnt enough cash to go around. Also, my garage is getting full - Blazer, Silverado,20' Status bass boat...
I will get the look I want and the performance I want by swapping hoods. If I ever need to change it back it will be in a box tied to the roof of my garage. The wheels on this firehawk are the silver ones not the optional chrome so I plan on changing them out also.

Another vote for the HAWK. I've always liked those hoods better. If the only thing you like better is the hood get the WS6. It's your car and you sound like you have your mind made up.

I also vote NO on putting a ram air hood on the hawk. No offense but if I saw a Firehawk on the road with a WS6 hood on it I would assume it had been wrecked and some idiot put the wrong hood on it.

BIGBOS Sweet ride!

firehawk if you're going for resale value.
WS6 if you're going for looks.

BIGBOS Sweet ride!
I am going to get the Hawk this weekend if it stops snowing! I also am ordering a WS6 hood for the car. The good thing about owning your own car is you can do whatever you want to it and not really care what someone else thinks! This car will not be stock and will not be a collectors car. If I was looking for an investment I know of many others that pay much more. This is a drivers car. Something the play with, have fun with, and drive the crap out of. Thanks for the help

sooo why are spending the money for the Firehawk again if you're just going to get rid of everything that makes a Firehawk a Firehawk?

if you are going to get a firehawk and make it look like a ws6 then why dont just get the ws6. i wouldnt want everyone asking me if i had a firehawk or a ws6 with the firehawk decals and the ws6 hood. who wants a slp loudmouth exhasut anyway?
