Default Your hood pics

Thanks, Daniel. Did you have a hard time adjusting to driving with the cowl? Is the height about the same as top of steering wheel? Or is your steering wheel higher than the cowl height?

to give you an idea, 99% of the time driving is not effected at all, the only time its and issue is when cresting a hill.

for a point of reference, it completely blocks my view of the passenger headlight lid (when raised) and I have to lean forward to see the driver side (if I sit ALL the way back in the seat it will disappear from view as well). Trying to eyeball it from the outside I would say it's between the highest point of the dash and the top of the wheel.

Keep in mind this is the standard Superhawk, so I don't know hoe different in height the WS9 hood is in comparison.

I got use to mine and really don't even notice it unless hills or pulling into the garage, and your right can't see my lights and my passenger side some how moved and caught the hood and wouldn't open and I never knew as I don't drive it much at night but noticed lights seemed dim so I got out to check for a burned out light and found a cracked light cover bracket. Thank god no scratches so a little JB weld to fix the cast bracket and a little adjustment and back in business
