WS6 Hood on a Firebird. Good Looking?
 

me and matt (99GPGT) were havin an argument about this: do you guys think that a ws6 style hood looks good on a 2000+
(w68 ) firebird? i think it looks freakin sexy he thinks it looks gay... damn smililes screwed up the poll question!!

needs the TA spoiler and bumper to look good, plus its just a V6 firebird. too flashy for being so slow

this isnt about performance, its about looks, i dont want anyone to go all "smoke panther" on me now :lol:

I Think its awesome i own a v6 and would love for it to have that hood!!!!!!

Im alittle partial to the WS6 Hood on Firebird/Formula's. One of the guys I work with has a Red Formula WS6 and I think it looks pretty bad ass. But IMO I think the car would look silly without lowering it first as far as apperance.

vote damnit! :twisted:

4th gen firebirds are hideous!! Get a trans am if It has the flat hood get a RAPTOR hood! if it has a ram air hood keep it untill you crash then get a raptor hood! I love the raptor hood and my next car is going to a be 4th gen trans am ls1 and t56 with a raptor hood!! cause raptor hood is sexy!
DAMN SO MANY MATT'S!!

your too young to know what your talkin about :twisted: also incase you didnt notice a late 4th gen w68 firebird and a TA are nearly identical besides the wing, and front bumper

Yeah pretty much..how you can look at two nearly identical cars and call one hideous.....pretty silly really:laugh: :laugh:

exactly my point! about two weeks after i got my car the battery died and i took it to sears autoshop to get it replace and i had two of their mechanics mistake it for a TA! :D

Jesus, how many times can you fit "raptor hood" in your 5 sentence paragraph. All that is is a clone of the firehawk hood basically, nothing really special about it.

Kid down the street from me has a Red 98+ Firebird with a WS6 hood, and it looks alright. But, it really needs a T/A spoiler, I think. I really don't like the look of the stock 'bird spoiler in the first place though, so I'm not saying this to bash the idea. It'ss just the T/A spoiler really makes the back end of the car stand out, plus with the honeycomb taillights, its a nice combo...:)

agreed, the TA spoiler does look nice

ws6 hood and mecham spoiler(the one that goes on top of the low spoiler), thats what id have if i owned a firebird.. but a lot of people dont like those spoilers...o well

yea i dont the only spoiler that looks good on a ta is the stock one

I think kthe SLP Ram Air HO hood looks better than the stock WS6 hood, because is doesn't have the "divider" between the upper scoops on the hood and the lower scoops on the bumper.

i agree with fred that the firehawk/raptor style hood is better looking, but the factory ram air hood still looks sweet

:stupid:

If you're gonna pay for a hood, I would get the firehawk/raptor hood.

says the wrong wheel drive guy with the big ass spoiler and tinted tail lights. :p

raptor hoods dont fit as well as oem ws6 hoods, so haveing a poor fitting hood =hideous..

oooh yeah......when calling a 4th gen firebird ugly, you must first look in your own sig and see what you have..... it might make you keep your mouth shut

myself i dont like the SLP HO hood, the nostrils look too huge for my liking, i actually like the dividers in the ws6 hood

I like the SLP hood but they kinda screwed me over on one when i ordered it ! 1" gaps around the while thing you could fit two fingers in them ! So i'm gonna stick with a metal ws6 hood when I decide to change hoods. ( plus the SLP one weighs 2x the amount of the stock TA hood )

...my spoiler is stock

and tinted tail lights on a black car make it look clean...not flashy.

its a firebird, not a WS6. but ok

now whos gettin "ripped apart" matt? huh?? :-P

Mecham Spoiler RULES!!!!!!!!!!!

The stock T/A spoiler is the best for the cars. Already got the honeycomb tailiights so i'm half way there. I want the raptor hood badly. Just cant seem to come up with the money for it.
