I know we are talking about T/A's here but how about us guys with Formula's? Also, I have the FIPK set-up on my car, if I were to get the Raptor or Firehawk style hood will I still be able to keep the FIPK?

I like the Raptor hood and the stock WS6 hood too! If I had a regular T/A or Formula I believe the Raptor hood would be my choice.

US exotics never made it. It was just a prototype.

The Superhawk Outlaw from Roger at US Exotics is going into a limited production run for the very first time. He said he plans to make 15-20 hoods on the side (his main business is viper hoods and frontends). They aren't going to be cheap and they will be exclusive.
Here is his website with pics.

ws9, superhawk, ws6, mecham, raptor, firehawk, stock
in that order

I think the WS6 looks the most aggressive while sticking with the stock lines. I think someone already pointed it out but the divided nostrils are part of a design theme incorporated into the bumper (turn signal lights) that flows nicely. The look also carries back to the fenders with the split side vents. It looks mean while not overdoing it (like the SLP H.O) IMO. Its all subjective of course. Id personally love to have ANY of them over stock.

Oh ****, didn't know my car was being used in this argument, and this was 4 months ago.

If I had to vote, I would have to say the ram air hood because it has the cowl look from the side and from up front the flaring nostrils look mean as hell.

What i change about it is give it a little bit more cowl like this. I remember he said uS exotics made it, but it was discontinued.
