WS6 Hood
I have a red factory WS6 hood that i purchased for 1200.00 and had prepped and painted for 350.00
I only had it von the car a short while ( drag only car) and then switched to the tall VFN hood for clearance with on the Kinsler intake and nitrous system.
This hood is perfect as far as i know. It's been in storage for the last 3 years.
I would sell it for 500.00, but you would have to pay any shipping costs......
I am in pa/nj area.

Otherwise, I'd go for that Raptor hood, which is a Firehawk replica basically. More aggressive stock style.

keep checking ebay... i snagged an oem LT1 WS6 hood for $307.51 about a month ago... it was a factory "reject" due to a small hole in the hood most likely due to an error in the mold (the guy said he had 25 of them about 10 yrs ago that he got from a buddy who worked at the factory that was contracted by GM to produce the hoods and has been selling them off over the years and most had the same exact hole. its the dot seen on the drivers side of the hood in the pic, right between where the hood rises up in the middle, and the flat edge part) other than the hole, it only needs a slight bit of work on the corners by the windshield..
now i kniow this is an LT1 and not an LS1 but im just sharing this to let you know you can find deals if you are persistant...

well i got my hood... it's a US Exotics WS9..... no paint yet, this was the test fit, and curing procedure:
please excuse the rag used to protect my bumper cover!
The "WS9" hood is a stock WS6 hood, with Firehawk heat extractors. they're functional.

looks like your car has a runny nose and you stick a kleenex into it to stop the dripping
(i wasnt going to comment on the rags but since you specifically mentioned it....well )
looks good though i can't wait to get mine painted/installed (i'm letting the body shop do the fitment and what not... it shouldnt need much since it is oem)
