Like you, I started out wanting a Firehawk or a TA with a Raptor hood. I ended up buying a WS6, and it may just be bias now that it's what I have, but the WS6 hood has really grown on me and is now my favorite...

Just google 'Firebird Raptor Hood' and you'll find all kinds of sellers. Keep in mind that most also offer the hood specific upturned/sealed ram air intake kit which supposedly gains you a few hp. There's been much debate on this site about whether or not rain is an issue with that setup, you might want to search for that if you aren't already familiar with it...
