I actually agree with that. They look a little cleaner and not so bulky. I only found one online and it was almost $1000. Those are not cheap hoods...I'm going to research a bit more on it now though. I wasn't aware it was called WS9.

Also, what do you think about painting this part of the formula bumper black. I found this online and it doesn't look bad. It's the formula version of the ceta mod...

Not a big fan of the Formula CETA mod.

Just for the record, the only real difference between a WS6 and WS9 hood is two tiny heat extractors on the sides. The scoopes themselves are identical.

Check out VFN Fiberglass. They make quality hoods.

They were pretty rare.

BTW I like your harptop Formula.

Thanks. I suppose I'll keep the bumper white.

What do you guys think, should i get a hood of some kind?

What other things could i do to make the car look good? Maybe some decals?

Less made in 1999, not sure why. 175 or 176. Mine is the last year they were available in Canada and I have mine modded to the near max. I have kept all the stock parts, so one day I could return it to stock, though I doubt it.

Definitely get a hood vfnfiberglass is a sponser and I've heard good things about them. Fasttoys just re released their trufiber ws9 hood as well it's the cheapest I've seen but I don't no anyone that has one yet; they are also sponsers.

I see you already have some wheels, dark tint and some black overlays and their, if you get the hood throw some blackbird stripes on it then you'll look

Remove the side molding...its free and IMO one of the best looking things you can do to one!
