Default Hood suggestions!!

hey guys i'm in the market for a ram air hood for my trans am. i was wondering what brands everyone has had good or bad luck with such as fitment problems and product quality and what not. i'm also considering trying to find a rearended ws6 and getting an original GM hood. has anyone had problems with fiberglass cracking? anyone have pictures of the heat extractor hood from the ws6 store on their car?

i bought my car with a vfn 4" cowl ram air hood. it's massive. it doesn't fit perfect, but from what i understand it's hard to get aftermarket hoods to fit like stock. it is light enough that i can take it off by myself lol. over all i have no complaints about it tho.

You can get WS6 oem hoods on here for around 700 bux but if you choose aftermarket I'd say Raptor or Superhawk.
