I've gotta go with the ws6 hood. The sc raptor is a little too mellow of a hood as opposed to the "i'm about to rip you a new *** hole" look of the ws6. Plus, sun coast's prices are ridiculous

I don't really care for the ws6 hood. I don't like the way the ram air just looks set ontop of the stock hood

I love the Raptor hood at TA's! The WS6 hood is more aggressive, but if I had a TA I would go for the Raptor any day...

+1 Raptor

I'm a little biased because I have a Raptor hood on my T/A, but I do like it better then the WS6.

The WS6 hood is been beat to death and Raptor is rare, plus I love the heat extractors on my Raptor hood:



The Firehawk hood is waaaay to timid, it is flat as a stock T/A hood. Plus the heat extractors are more like rain catchers. Still a very cool hood just not my favorite ram air hood.

Peace,
Craig.

I'm liking the Raptor hood more than I use to, but its still too close to stock for my likings. Its just not nearly as aggressive as the WS6 style. But, i do agree w/ what was said before about the ramair part looking like it was just put on a stock hood. Thats why i dont like the way these hoods look from the side. I have one and I love it from the front, but not from the side.
