Default Thanks to Roger (US Exotics)

So after the wait it's finally here... An it looks and fits better then I could have imagined. Thanks to Roger for the EXCELLENT work and also working with me and my boy Cameron to get it here.

Thanks also to FED EX for chipping it, they will now be paying for it to get painted "hopefully"

It was shipped and had full insurance so hopefully it will work out

free 99 free hahaa



I did have one of the orignal WS9 outlaw hoods from US exotics, but a friend of mine got hit in the front of his WS6 and he wanted a different hood. So instead of the insurance company buying him a 1900 dollar GM WS6 hood I gave him my WS9 outlaw, in return once the body shop paid him the extra cash from the insurance he bought me this hood... All in all I believe he paid around 1300 shipped for it

Thanks for the good comments, I thought that shaved plate'd look damn good on a formula bumper, my only fear is that it will crack one day . . .one day or Not! I hope since it was glued and fulled with a special glue that dries and become like urethane.

About the hood, you could send him an E-mail and check if he is still doing them. I got lucky last year he made a bunch of 10 during the summer and I got the #7. He was selling them about 1grand.
