I like the stock ws6 hood the best. Is the raptor hood the ws6 hood w/heat extractors or the ws6 hood with squared "nostrils"? I can't ever remember.

The stock WS6 or WS9 (WS6 hood w/ Firehawk style heat extractors) is the best. After that I'd say the Superhawk hood, then the Raptor, Firehawk, and SLP H.O. in that order. The 4" & 5" WS6 hoods just don't flow with the original lines very well due to the over sized bulge at the front. In looking good it's all about the flow of the lines and that extra bulge disrupts what would otherwise be a good looking hood.

raptor=knock off firehawk hood with or without extractors
slp ho = big square nostrils
ws9= bigger ws6 style nostrils and extractors
