Default New hood needed...what to do?

hey guys,

I am going to be in the market for a new hood thanks to the huge rock that fell onto it from a semi that passed me

I'm debating between getting a stock one, or an aftermarket? Raptor maybe?

What do you think? throw some pictures.

I'm thinking of sticking to stock, since I'm the only WS6 for several counties....(the sticks)

but then again, maybe someone has a sweet aftermarket hood that I can't live without

SLP H.O.
or
Raptor
or
Firehawk

For some reason I really don't like the look of the WS6 hoods. I can't stand the 4 separate nostrils, birds only have 2!

I thought about that, but I love the big nostrils on my stock hood

I'm thinking about going with the WS9, I'll have to find some more pictures so I can see how big the thing really is

Have you considered a Mecham (?sp?) hood? They are a little different, somewhat rare, but still tastefull. Just thought I would throw another option out there to make your decision a little harder
