    Its different. I wouldn't even run it if it was given to me. This whole cowl hood concept for our cars is getting a little out of hand.

    I think they should be slapped for messing around with the ws6 style hood, that just looks like an SD hood but a screwed up mold or something

    It's too aggressive for my taste, but his car almost pulls it off. Even though it looks good, I still think other hoods would look better. Anyway, you have to give him props for the amount of work he put into it.

    Who makes that hood? I heard about this hood recently, but this is the first time that i saw it. Looking over at more of his pics, i really like it. I want my car to stick out and that hood is beefy as hell looking. I'd just add the "SD" lip, then it'd make it even better. I wonder how this hood fits, vs. the ASCD "SD" hood? Does anyone else have this hood? I do however loathe the spoiler, looks like crap.

    As far as I know that hood was NEVER offered from anyone. I'm assuming he bought it off someone on ebay that took a stock hood, added the WS-6 scoops, and put the extra heat extractors in. I've seen that car online a few times and is the only GP I've ever seen with that version. The only WS-6/warbird hoods available were ASCD (now being produced and sold under Stinger Fiberglass Designs control, same site: www.americansportscardesign.com) and Duraflex (available online through many vendors from Extreme Dimensions to ebay, etc.). Only know of one person that actually purchased a Duraflex hood and it supposedly fit poorly, they said it was a fluke bad hood, and refunded the money eventually. I would have to see one in person to judge for myself.

    I really liked the look of the WS-6 scoops that were molded onto SyP's black GTP (now Vriez's car and hood is an SD), GOINDEF did an amazing job of molding them onto his silver GP, x1fastGTPx/David99GTP's ASCD hood just looks menacing, and a few others as well.

    I personally don't like the look of those scoops cut into the scoops. The concept of ram air scoops and heat extractors I like, just not on that style. Not to mention you can see the imperfections on the hood even though they aren't the best pics. As far as the spoiler, I've seen alot worse.

    Since when did a aftermarket hood equal performance gains?
