It is 100% the Mecham 4-port extractor hood...

Apparently in past experiences I have read about on here the fitment and build quality was very poor for the price paid and many members were unhappy. Looks pretty good IMO but search on people's first-hand experiences.

Yea, I was just clarifying for the 2nd poster . Its a good looking hood, very unique as very few people have them, but like I said, if you are seriously considering ask around about build quality and such.

just my opinion....

Raptor or stick with the WS6, either one looks like its going to swallow anything in front of it. The one pictured looks like a cheese grater.

The Mecham is the only hood I would use on my T/A other than the stock WS6.

There were quite a few fitment issues in the past - they claim that due to increased demand they have improved their mods and quality.

Would be nice to know if this is actually true...
