As soon as my new hood is ready I am planning on selling my Superhawk hood. It is a reproduction of firehawks. It is made by US Exotics and was the last one made. I am asking 800.00 but Im not sure how I would ship it.
Heres a pic

Real Hawk Hoods Cost almost $1400 New and with a great paint job will run you another $600, plus you need the front bumper that slp makes also to work with the hood. about another $1,000 total being 3k, price is high man, they don't make these anymore

You can simply modify an existing Firebird/Formula/TransAm bumper to fit the hood. It's not that special. SLP simply cut the original GM bumper, which anyone with the right tools can do.

i tried tellin you this before...."I DO BODY WORK AND FABRICATION FOR A LIVING...." i just need a hood...hell a beat up hood...just need the hood...and the a pint of paint is more like $30... ill need about half a pint for 1 side...black goes a long way on a car..i have the rest of the clear coats and hardners and primer and sealer...modifying the bumper is easier what you make it to be..ive done it before for other people...you just own an actual firehawk....its cool man...i wish i had $30k to spend on an initial investment...thats about how much i have in mine...probly more...but its been in stages

If you do fabrication for a living, adding heat extractors should be a breeze. Just get you're hands on a used raptor hood, and fabricate you're own extractors to emulate the stock Firehawk piece....

finding a cheap used raptor hood is like finding a LS6 for $500

Try giving Hawks a call, they might have some hoods in stock that need some minor work. I see some of their used hoods go for pretty cheap every now and then...

awesome man thanks

**ramrod** · 07-01-2006, 12:18 PM

Is it me or just a Firehawk looks better that a Ws6. I mean I could care less about my car cause I am only going to tub it out, and beat the sh!t out of it like all my other drag cars.

I love drag strips. I should sell my company, and go bankrupt making a living out of racing, but I love pu$$y to much, and I won't get any from my women, and I will soon get some pics of her up soon.
