Default WTB WS6 Hood

Possibly red?? Would like that. Trying to convert my T/A to Ram air style. If you have anything or know of anything, let me know. I'm looking!

All of the OEM ones that I have seen for sale either go for a mint or they are damaged.

As for the aftermarket ones the quality is not the same. There are a bunch out there.

They will not come in your body color you will have to get it painted.

Let see off the top of my head
VFN
US Exotics
Trufiber
Suncoast???

Shoot there are at least 2 more I can't think of right now.

That sucks. I've seen the low-quality work on alot of those fiberglass hoods. NOT impressed. It would be nice to find a rearended WS6 with a perfect hood haha. But if it were my hood, I'd ask 1,000. So I know what they might fetch on the market. Which SUCKS!!

I got my hood form octane motor sports, its a carbon fiber ram air hood, and it fits pretty good, not perfect but what after market hood is , but anyways it was so damn light its probably half the weight of my stock T/A hood, but I dont know if they still sell the ram air model.

Default Hood

I have a OEM RED Firehawk hood. Which is probably one of the rarest hoods you are going to find. They are not made any more. What is your figure?

Sorry wish I could help you out. I got one of those Suncoast hoods on my trans am. Too bad it doesnt have the line around the nostrils like the real WS6 hoods. Good luck on your find tho.

I'm talking to a guy now with one and he wants a grand for it. ITs silver. Thats a little steep. But do the OEM firehawk hoods work with the standard fron fascia on the Trans Ams?
