I voted for the Firehawk hood, but I think the mecham hood looks awesome. In my opinion the WS6 hood is way to common and sticks out in the front by the scoops just bothers me.

OEM WS6. Still have not seen anyone make a better looking hood. The Raptor is the only one that even comes close.

Factory WS6, but then again I'm biased I had a regular red 98 T/A and the only thing I wished it had different was a WS6 hood, but I was too broke back then to buy the hood.

I like the Hawk and the Raptor. They flow with the car and I see WS6 hoods every day, but I've never seen one like mine on the road.

I have to say the firehawk or the mecham. They match the body lines of the car better than the ws6 hood.
