Look closely and you will see Firehawk heat extractors on the sides on the hood. Other than that it looks completely stock.

not really. . . there was a few raised areas that i knocked down. And theres kind of a line across the back, but i didnt even mess with that cuz i knew it would be that noticeable

I have a WS9 hood also. Excellent quality....i've only seen one other aftermarket ram air hood (not even cut out...looked horrible, not sure of brand). Rogers WS9 U.S. Exotics hood is unbelievable quality. I was impressed at how neatly everything was cut, and looked factory. Hood is really light, yet feel really strong. Mine didn't have any cosmetic problems, also in the event Roger didn't inform you guys. You should do one of the following before paint.

#1 – Bake in bake-booth or curing lamps at approximately 150 degrees for 45 minutes
#2 – Place on vehicle and let “cure” from engine heat & sun for a minimum of a week

That way any fiberglass lines that will come through, will do so now instead of later when it gets painted and will then show.

Anyways I love it, mix of both ws6 ram air hood and firehawk heat extractors. Pretty sweet

IMO the Mecham hood is the best and by far the most agressive looking hood out there IMO. The fit/finish leaves some to be desired but if you do bodywork like myself thats not a problem. If your not a body man or dont know any good ones then buy a different hood. I have about eight hours of work into my hood to get the fit/finish as it is in the pictures.

Structurally the new revised hoods are very structurally strong also.

Not a fan of the Mecham hood.

I agree. It looks a lot better in person than pictures. Saw one on a black T/A and I must say it looked stunning!

I've seen it in person and don't like the Mecham hood.

**GULLETT17** · 07-20-2008, 04:42 PM

i like the mecham hood! i think it and the superhawk hood are a change from all the other ram airs that are out there. and jeramiah the fitment looks amazing!!

**HMERacing** · 07-26-2008, 05:56 PM

Makes no sense but whatever. This is the only part of the car you'd ever see.

HAHA I was just giving you a hard time man, looks good. And I would GLADLY allow you the opportunity to try and show me your tail lights, unlikely as it may be
