Need help desiding who has the best aftermarket hood for a 99 Trans Am. Im looking to find the best fiting hood and also who has the best looking hood. I like the WS9 but I would like to know if anyone knows where I can get one but "without the rear heat extracts". Thanks for the help.

I think all there is is the WS6, WS6 4" & 5", WS9, Firehawk, Raptor and Mecham. If anyone noticed I missed any, please chime in. VFN is rumored here (as they are site sponsors) to make good quality/fit hoods. I'd start my search there. By the way, isnt the hood you speak of WS9 without rear heat extracts just a WS6 hood?

I thought that the WS9 hood had lager scoops "taller" then the WS6 hood. I not sure but correct me if im wrong. Like how the WS9 hood looks, but I dont like the rear heat extracts.

But maybe the back is a little taller on the WS9?

VFN only sells the WS9 "Outlaw" which is the one that is higher. the WS9 isn't made anymore from my research.
My order just went in a couple weeks ago for the outlaw, I can't wait

I have a WS6 hood from VFN but it does not fit like I would like it too. It sticks up about a 1/4 inch hight on the drive side of the hood then the fender. It fits nice but the driver front corner sticks up a little. I didnt know if thats the way all the hood were, or if their is something wrong with my hood. Also if anyone may know how to fix it let me know, I have tryed everthing.

My hood does stick up just a smidge on the driver's side, but I haven't played with the fender yet. Move it up a couple of hairs are it should be okay. Looks really bad from the drivers seat, but standing outside the car it don't look bad at all.

I just noticed a seller on E-Bay with a WS-6 type hood that looks pretty good. Does anyone have the Powerhoods engineered plastic hood? Its currently available for $845.00 including grills, Ram Air decals and airbox. Is this hood worth it?
