The 4 incher is too high. You'll hate it when you grow a couple years older.

You can't go wrong with oem. Make sure it's a real factory hood. Trust me. ~Joshua

I'm waiting for ASCD to come out with the mecham replica. I think they're doing it.

My vote is for the O.E.M. WS6.

I voted WS6, prefer the looks. You can still get an oem style WS6 hood from VFN and then you have the weight savings too.

Cowl hoods look best on old skool muscle. Go WS6.

4" is too tall IMO. Go with a WS6 or WS9.

hey firehawk, why would he want to make sure it is a real factiry hood? is there a problem with aftermarket hood? ratling, warping, cracking, u must know something. hey by the way, would a vfn hood be better because of wieght differences?

I had a WS6 style hood from VFN and it fit GREAT, people couldnt believe how well it fit, and alot of people thought it was OEM, IMO the 4in should be more of a "track only" hood b/c it can be difficult to see sometimes goin uphill and stuff.
