resizing that 2nd pic may help...But between those 2, I guess it depends on if you want the hood to look like a factory WS6, or not. Either will look good.

Get this one from VFN, the company is reputed to have great quality products and service. They have the stock style WS6 hood too.

Well, it's a tough dicision to make. I have the stock ws6 hood on mine and I love it. Here is a pic. I will try to get some better shots of the hood for you within the next couple of days.

The WS6 hood (2nd). ASCD sells them for $525 discounted to LS1tech members and its molded from an OEM WS6 hood, so the fitment is the best aftermarket fit you can get.

Suncoast hoods from what i've heard are the best and functional.
lmperformance .com has them for sale for 789. but cincyramairhoods.com has them for 785. They said they are going to give a deal to ls1tech members just email the owner at cincyramairhoods@yahoo.com
