A raptor hood is way better. Suncoast makes a good Raptor hood but an ugly WS6 hood. Their hoods don't fit the best either so thats just something to think about.

I like the WS9 hood off Ebay. I was thinking about grabbing it. Anyone had any experience with it?

Another vote for the Raptor. I don't have one (yet) but I LOVE it so much better then my stock WS6 hood. I like how the snorkels are clean as opposed to the WS6 hood where there is that piece of the hood (on the very front) that makes it look like the snorkels are divided into 4 parts.......the Raptor is sooooooooo much cleaner and meaner.

Just my humble $.02

The Suncoast WS6 hood is to tall. Looks like **** IMO. I would go for the Raptor or find yourself an OEM WS6 Hood. With any aftermarket hood you are going to have fitment problems that is why I suggested you get an OEM Hood.
