I have to go with the Raptor. I have a SLP h.o. hood for sale. It is painted black and I will need the stock black hood plus 600. I live in Amarillo Texas so if you are close let me know

Yo, dude, you forgot the Mecham hood. I would have voted for that, but it wasn't there so I went for the Firehawk hood. The WS6 hood is played out, but I guess people on this board like played out things.

Id go with the raptor hood. As said before it flows very well with the lines of the car and i think the stock ws6 is a little too common.
1. raptor
2. ws9

IMO the WS6 hood is beautiful. it's the Z28 that got the ugly *** hood design from the factory. it looks like they took it off a taurus.

the firehawk hood just goes with the car so much more then anything else, looks so much sleeker, the ws6 just looks to bulky, doesnt look as clean
