Hello folks! I am looking to get a new hood for my 99 T/a! and i kinda was thinking of putting a Bird on it, not sure what style bird, but does it look good with a regular WS6 hood? Or i heard that there is a hood called West Raptor hood or something along those lines that looks like the Firehawk hood and that it would be good.

...if i can remember, the regular Firehawk hood does not fit on a regular T/a right?

I tried posting this in appearance section and got 0 responses =(

You mean the "Raptor" hood from Suncoastcreations.com?

I'd go with a base model hood if you're gonna do a hood bird...the ram air hoods are too "curvy" for large graphics.

the raptor with the heat extractors looks just like the firehawk hood...i think the raptor/firehawk hood is simple enough to look good with a bird. When i pick up a hood for my 93 im gonna put a bird of some sort on it i think. oh and the original firehawk hood will fit a regular ta if you cut a small portion of the bumper out...might need the nose emblem tho
