Thinking of adding a WS6 or WS9 hood
Where's the best place to buy and what should I pay? Ideally, I'd like to find one used in good condition that's already painted red.

Can you post an under the hood pic? It would be nice to see the air intake.
I have been debating a true fiber vs a suncoast raptor. The suncoast hoods appear to be all fiberglass whereas the oem was, to the best of my knowledge, fiberglass laid on steel.

Sorry man, I sold this car 2 years ago and I don't believe I have an under hood pic of the actual hood. I will check when I get home though.

Nice, thanks for the info. Which brand hoods do that exactly? Want to make absolutely sure I'm getting the best hood offered.

I have a Suncoast Raptor hood on my car and this hood fit perfect and is completly fuctional although it also has the heat extractors near the windshield but I really dont think they work the way they are supposed to because when it rains I can see the drops going back into the hood which is really not a problem but I would think air is supposed to come out of the hood if its an extractor j

I too am looking into these hoods. For those in the know:
Is there a differance between the Trufiber hoods and the Suncoast hoods?
Is a "proper" Raptor hood with visable vents on the sides as well as having air vented out the back of the hood?
Searching "WS9" on ebay results in Trufiber hoods for $502.00. Is this the "correct" hood? Who has one of these?

It looks like the Trufiber hoods on ebay and what the WS6 Store is offering are the same hoods. The ebay page shows the item number which matches what’s on Trufiber’s website.
All these hoods look to be shipped directly from Trufiber and have a flat shipping rate of $150.00. With shipping, the ebay site price is the same as the WS6 Store price. Whichever way you go, it’s $650.00.
I’ve had a good read of these hoods as well as the VFN hoods. The VFN hoods are more expensive.
The Suncoast hoods are $750.00 plus a hundred bucks for the side vents plus shipping. For that price, it better come with a guy to install and paint it!
Looks like I’ll be going Trufiber via The WS6 store.

When I bought my suncoast/raptor hood I dont remember if they offerd side vents or not but I orderd the ram-air intake for this hood (which I still have on my shelf because it didnt fit) and my total cost was well over $1000.00
