FAIL! My car had SLP optioned chrome ZR1's, but nice try....not.
Just is dumb to have a WS6 car driving around with WS6 badges and sporting a Raptor hood. They are for non-ram air T/A's aftermarket hood choice.
Thats almost as dumb as me putting a lame *** Z28 hood on my SS and driving it around with SS badges on it.
Peace,
Craig.

I disagree because the Z hood is boring while the SS hood looks hot, but the ws6 hood looks good but is on the border of cool vs rice, whereas the raptor hood is far from boring and looks perfectly badass on any firebird.

I have a raptor hood and love it. It lines up perfect (i'm sure its due to knowing a good shop) and looks great. I think the lines of the raptor hood flow better with the trans am body than the WS6 hood. But I do have to agree with crager if the car is a WS6 keep a WS6 hood on it.

As i said before if the cars a WS6 I would stick with an OEM WS6 hood. It will definately have a better fit than just about any aftermarket fiberglass hood. I bet the insurance company said they would cover an aftermarket hood cuz they know it will probably be 2-3 times cheaper than an OEM hood from the dealer.

So wheels mean nothing if you change them, but body panels are part of the car, more so a special optioned car like a WS6, Firehawk, SS, etc...
If people see a WS6 car with a Raptor hood they're going to think its a fake WS6, and either way fake or not they're going to think WTF?!

Yeah I don't think you should take the WS6 hood off for a different one, unless it's the WS9 hood. If my hood ever gets damaged, that's what I want to put on. Looks like a WS6 but has the raptor heat extractors.
But the hood I like the most is the Mecham, but would never switch it out since my car is a WS6.

...ummmm lets see ZR1's are vette wheels, which I myself don't care for any vette wheels on f-body cars, and a hood is a body panel. A WS6 car is a WS6 car anyway you put it. To put a Raptor hood on a WS6 car is a disgrace IMHO.

Don't get offended, its just my opinion.
But let me ask this of you guys that are for a Raptor hood on a WS6. First off, none of you have one and therefor not proud of it. How about this, buy a WS6 and slap a Raptor hood on it. Go to car shows and snap a bunch of pics and show LS1TECH.com your WS6/Raptor. The WS6 guys will "smell what you're stepping in."

Craig.

Well I'm not a fan of the ultra z hood...but...you're right, it's opinion. But anyway, I hear you, a special edition appearance package, it does lose the matching status without the stock hood, but more important is the appearance the owner prefers. Maybe they save the stock hood, or to some buyers it might lose a bit of value, but if the owner likes the appearance, then that's what really matters. As for other car people thinking wtf...if this thread is a fair sample size, then you are the low percent of people out of many posting to seem to think wtf...
