Guys/girls need help choosing a hood. Can yall post pics on both hoods and give some info on which is the best to your opinions.

Both seem to have fitment issues more often than not.

I'd go Superhawk or Firehawk.

Don't you have to mod the upper part of the front bumper to sit flush with the firehawk hood?

I think the OP's going for a more...refined look rather than the Gorrilla-snout appearance

I don't think so...from what I understood, there are two hoods - Raptor and SLP firehawk, which look exactly the same. Difference is, SLP hawk hood requires SLP hawk front bumper in order to fit, where as Raptor goes with stock bumper. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The Mecham hood is by far the best looking hood, second would be the stock WS6 hood...IMO Mine is the first/original design, I think the newer more agressive version is better looking.

The Raptor and Firehawk are similar, but not exact. The Firehawk has heat extractors on top of the hood. The Raptor has optional extractors that vent through the back of the hood (cowl area). The Raptor also has more pronounced nostrils that are raised higher than the Firehawk. My Raptor fit with zero modification, but does take time to get the alignment correct.

(Snake Stomper) I like that hood i have heard alot of bad things about mecham hoods so i guess ill get the Raptor hood and i got a really good deal for only 200.00! Thanks for the pics. The Mecham hood looks awesome but i dont want to be getting something i will be risking and going through trouble with.
