What website? I've had my superhawk for 4 1/2 years, and I wouldn't choose the superhawk over any other hood over it. I love it.

That's what I'm wondering. I just got mine and I had to go directly through Roger to get it. No website, just email and phone calls. I don't know where ya'll are seeing this at?

Fixed

Can you please let me know where to buy one. I have looked at many companies selling hoods and must have gotten mixed up.

Since Trans Am's front bumper have to be modified for A Firehawk hood, will the front bumper of a Firehawk need to be swapped for a Trans Am's for the Superhawk to fit?

Ok. I thought the bumper had to be cut where the nose of the hood closed at.

Your correct, trans am bumpers have to be modified for a firehawk hood. So i would think if you have a firehawk and get a superhawk hood, that you would need to get a trans am bumper.

For a Firehawk hood to fit a regular TA bumper, you have to trim the bumper for it to fit. And if you put a hood for a TA on a Firehawk, there will be a gap in the front between the hood and the bumper.

Thanks. I don't expect OEM fit but I don't want something that looks like some starving child put together either.
