+1 for Raptor, even though I have a WS6, I love those raptor hoods, wish they would have put heat extractors on the WS6 hood.

Raptor or stay stock. WS6 hood is PLAYED OUT unless your car is a real WS6

Yeah... both hoods are awesome in their own way... i hate the raptor's price tag though... but it would good to have cuz not many have it. But on the other hand the WS.6 has a very aggressive look about it. If I were to go with the raptor I would have to get the heat extracters. I really dunno which to go with...Decisions...decisions..

If you like subtle, go raptor, if you like agressive, got WS.6, and if you like sleepy, stock will do.

I don't know why so many people like the raptor hood. If you want to castrate your Trans Am, sure go with a raptor hood. I say WS6 all the way. Whatever you do, stay away from Suncoast hoods. I have had a couple of them before. They are VERY LOW quality and weigh/cost twice as much as their competitors. I suggest VFN hoods.

I think the raptor flows better than the WS6 but with that being said a Trans am is supposed to be a pony car not a sleek sports car. The f-bodies look a little to sport-car-ish in 1st place to me, so I voted for the WS6 because it just has a more aggressive look.

+1 for WS 6 hood. They just look so mean! Very intimidating when you look in your rear view mirror and see a WS 6 pulling up on you.

I like my stocker. Now if I was going to a plain TA hood I would go with something else other than a WS6 hood as it will be a bit different.
