Its a stock cover but its been cut for the hood to fit. A Firehawk hood will not fit unless the area around the "nostrils" has trimmed. If you look at the two bumpers side by side with the hood open the difference is very obviouse. I could post some pics of my Firehawk compared to my WS6 bumper later if you need me too.

You have Firehawk...right? So I asume you can just compare my WS6 to yours to see the difference (I dont have a pic like this of my Firehawk here at work but need to take one.)



On a Firehawk the two "flaps" on each side of the center piece and the rear part of the center piece are cut off flush with the bumper supports. The bad part about it is they are not straight cuts....they are rounded. So they would be a PIA to get right if you had to cut them yourself. Especialy if you didnt have a factory Firehawk bumper to go by.

SLP cut the bumpers to fit the hood . . . (did I just type that . . . )

The Firehawk nose emblem hid part of the cut.
