What is the difference between with the WS9 hood and the WS6 hood??
WS9 Outlaw has the heat extractors on the back...

It looks to me like the cowl is slightly larger on the aftermarket VFN and ASCD hoods than the stock WS-6. In fact the VFN looks identical to the ASCD to me. As for the prepwork mine needed some sanding in a couple spots but nothing major. They're both gelcoated so technically you could paint them the way the come.

Just my .02-
For the ultimate in quality, and reliability I went with Roger's WS9 hood, which is fiberglass. Im sure you all know about it, and it is in the posts, but the compnay is US Exotics, and the fitment-looks killer!!! I paid 600, but let me tell you, it is awesome! Well worth the cost to ship, and the overall experience is great!!! I recommend looking into one for any of you considering replacing WS6 style hood, repairing or converting over... You wont be disappointed!!!
