I don't have any pictures but I think the Superhawk hood would look the best.

I think the Raptor is the best looking hood for a TA IMO.

I love the Raptor hood, Im getting it on my TA and between both hoods it will flow with the Formula's subtle looks much better than the WS.6 hood.

I know what you mean, I also have a hard time finding stuff for my 98 Formula. I would say the raptor, that's what I want for a Firehawk.

WS6 all the way! I also own a 98 formula and when that mail box got in my way one night at 2am, it decided to make the decision for me to get a new hood



Maybe this will help ya make your decision.

This photoshoped version has a little more definition to the detailing even though its not sharp. Hope this helps the decision.

they both are awesome hoods. i am kinda leaning towards ws.6 though cause the front end of T/A's are so curvy already i kinda like the more cornered off ws.6 hood to flatten things up a little bit
