Default Hoods
What hood do you think looks best on a Trans Am? The WS6 hood, or some aftermarket hood like a predator or superhawk?

I depends on the color of the car, wheels, etc.

In general, I like the Raptor/Firehawk and the WS6 the most.

The Mecham hood looks awesome, but i'm told it sucks quality-wise. So although I really like the looks, the quality issues pull it out of my favorites. My two favorites are the WS9 (what I have) and the Raptor.

Mecham hood looks best (IMO), but *often* has quality issues.
