Default Best hood for a Formula....

I think I have narrowed it down to 2, the Raptor and the WS9. Any Formula guys out there with either chime in! Also, I have the FIPK on my vehicle, will there be any issues with either hood as long as I don't get the Ram Air option.

That's my favorite hood, doesn't look too over the top like a WS6 hood.

Roger's superhawk hood was the best IMO, too bad he doesn't make them anymore. Raptor is probably second, then finally the OEM Firehawk hood.

All have the perfect lines to follow the car's fenders and smooth front bumper.
