Default Which hood should I get?

I need a hood replacement. The OEM hood is apparently discontinued. So I was looking at WS6 store for a hood. I was looking at the WS9 trufiber hood with the heat extractors. Also, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get ahold of the CETA decals for the hood? Will the WS9 hood will be a good quality fit on my car? Also how long does it take to get the hood?

Trufiber or Suncoast make good quality hoods, after having your local-excellent-body-shop take care of the prep work properly.

Ws6store is a great place to buy products from, ive ordered plenty of times from them and never have i had an issue. You do know that they dont make the hoods though, just sell them right? Those hoods are made by Glasstek & TruFiber.

Have you seen the WSQ hood by VFN? Nice looking hood, idk how it would look in yellow but its a nice hood. Definately look into VFN.

Id avoid suncoast. I've never seen one of their hoods that didn't bubble up.

Unfortunately I cannot send PMs since I haven't reached the 50 post/6-month threshold. So....

Do a google search for 'autografics' -- note the misspelling. You won't find the site if you search for 'autographics'. The site is pretty easy to navigate.

Let me know if you have any problems finding the CETA hood decals.

You haven't seen mine.

Edit: I'd like to add that I've had it for over 2 years now, and that it was over 1 year old when I bought it. Then again, I guess I should thoroughly inspect it once more. The only problems I found with mine were fisheyes from crappy prep/paint.
