Default WS6 hood VS Raptor hood
hey i have a 2000 WS6 Trans AM and i wanna know if a firehawk / Raptor hood will bolt on and look right on the car, or do i need to change the front bumper and fenders to make it look right?

Firehawk: you'll have to trim the center of the front bumper cover where it meets the front of the hood.

Raptor: Unbolt your stocker and bolt the Raptor on.

Why would you want to remove a WS6 hood?

Like I said, the Firehawk hood would require you to trim the front bumper cover (unless you have a bumper cover from a Firehawk).

The Raptor hood is made to work with the factory bumper cover. No trimming required.

I think the raptor hood looks awesome, there is a guy that has one on a hot looking ta, I think his name is candlebandit if you want to search to see what I mean. It's on a 10 second vert if IIRC...

edit: My mistake, his name is cablebandit...and it's not a 10 second car....it's 9.85 at 130...damn I feel slow lol

the raptor hood looks great, imo it is a much better version of the firehawk...plus pretty much a bolt on isn't a negative

ya hood is for sale $5.00 but u have to go pick up all the pieces of it out of the tree and off the street, i might have half of one of the vents caught in the fans ill throw that in for free.

lol no but that raptor hood is cheaper than a factory hood so the insurance company said that we could get that one if we wanted

Raptor hood. The WS6 hood's fitment doesn't look that great. The Raptor hood has a better transition onto the bumper.

You sir are on crack. The factory WS6 hood fits best, my Raptor hood was "ok" at best.
