i learned my lesson when buyin a hood this year....dont do it...i wish i didnt...i should have spent the money on speed in stead of looks...a cam would make the car look a whole lot better when its shakin like a las vegas stripper comin down the side walk... just my .02 worth...rumble and speed is more attractive to me

I will second tv tv 13's advice. I bought a OEM SS hood for 1500.00. Then another 500.00 to paint and install the thing. The hood fit great but the body shop and trouble matching the paint. It came out ok but not like I wanted. I remember I use to dream of having a SS Hood on my Z28. I use to admire the SS because of the hood. But now that I have it i regret it. I should of got some wheels before the hood. Btw I like the black Ta.

I definitely vote for the WS9 original. Its the hood I'm going to be buying when I get around to it(aka get some money). I'm no fan of big cowl hoods. In fact, in most cases I don't like them at all. Takes a nice touch to pull off a big cowl, most of the times it just looks like ****.

I'm not a big fan of the Outlaw hood. I think it is just too much for a street car. The original hood is "smooth" and still gives it that tough look without going overboard. I love the cars with the original ws9 hood... they always catch my eye.

I have the Outlaw hood. And like it very much. I have gotten nothing but compliments on it. Everyone seems to like it better than the original. I am glad I went with it. Def compliments my cam.

Go with the original unless you want to be different. Outlaw is nice but a little too tall for my taste.

I chose the Outlaw because I wanted to set my car apart, even more, from the other T/A's around my city and around where I work. The extra height isn't so bad to work with. I was expecting more....

I won't have any better pics until after I get mine painted. The pics I do have are a little dark.
