Default lt1 ram air hood, which one?

Which hood should I get. I kind of want to get the Trufiber WS6 II hood (ls1 style).

My reasoning, it's different and it looks nice. It's different than all the other birds you see on here, and it sorta looks like the ls1s

Downside, it doesn't have the bottom nostrils on my bumper like ls1s do. So it looks a little off. It runs w/ the body lines alot better than other brand hoods attemps at the ls1 ws6 style hood.


Option2: lt1 ws6 hood. You can't go wrong w/ this hood. Lots of people have them on here. However in real life, I've only seen 3.

But it's not as badass, and it's more subdued and subtle.

Trufiber WS6 II Prototype test fit pics:



see the shine in this pic, the hood lines flow alot better w/ the lines of the car

I think the ls1 hood just looks out of place on an lt1 car. IMO the lt1 ws6 hood flows much better and don't look like an after though like the ls1 hood does on there

I've only seen an LT1 ws6 hood in person once, and man, it looked so ******* mean, it was completely different from what I've seen in pics. Plus it's time period correct.

I've always really liked the LT1 WS6 hood. I'd def go that route on a LT1 car.

Please do not ruin it with the "ls1 knockoff" hoods. They just look horrible. Worse than stock hood. I had a Harwood hood on my old 97 that came on the car and I loved it. Looked great, had functional ram air, and a perfect fit.

LT1 style is only one that works on those birds. Just how it is.

Yeah I've decided to go w/ the lt1 style.

The way I see it, it's the sure thing, and I won't regret down the road.

LS1 style stays on ls1 style cars. Get the LT1 style. It looks 100x better!
