What does everyone think of this hood?

It's a WS6 "style" hood. I know the vent designs are different than the WS6 but what do you all think?

It's also non-functional.:shrug:

They're actually wire mesh inserts. Why does it look cheap?

Here's another shot of the hood on a V6 or Formula. I don't think it looks "cheap".

looks fine to me. i don't think it looks cheap, or gay, but i think that changing the color of the grille inserts would set it off a little better, or none at all. the pics of it on the formula look better.

I personally don't like the hood. I feel that if you are going to go for the ram air look either get a genuin hood, or don't do it.

I think it looks ok, but unless its dramtically cheaper i would go with a clone WS6 hood, or a OEM one, different hoods are cool, like the raptor, and the firehawk, but since this one is the WS6 "style" people would natrually compare it to an original. And you did ask for opinions so just take them as they come and weigh them out. just my .02

It looks cheap IMO. OEM or different aftermarket.

that kinda hood looks good on a camaro or something but if you already have a WS6 car your money would have been better spent on a real WS6 hood or a firehawk hood or something
