ok thanks. i'm mostly concerned about fit/waves. fiberglass tends to be really wavy but the OEM ones are mad $$$ and i don't know of any aftermarket smc hoods.

anything else about the trufiber?

Some one has a screen capture software....

To the original poster, buying a hood for $250 is like buying a case of beer for $4. Is it beer, yes, barely, but it's beer. Is it good? No, but it's beer.

Or you can hit "Prnt Scrn" (where the F13 button should be), then paste into MS Paint

FWIW man, I've been reading that the SS hoods are pretty good overall. I would imagine the WS6 hood would be decent to but ya never know.
