65 view and 3 reply...WTF is with people? You ask for their $.02 and the look and move on... Anyway, I voted WS6 hood, but that's just 'cause I don't like the big open scoops the Raptor hood makes. Lots of people DO like it, tho. You left out the one I wanted to vote for...the WS9 hood. Swat

I like the raptor, but you can't go wrong with the stock WS6 hood.

A firehawk hood will require modification to the front bumper, a raptor is basically a firehawk hood without the need to modify the front bumper.

I dont care much for the SLP HO hood.

Calm down buddy. I didn't vote because I don't like either of the choices in the poll.

Nevermind the vote, y2k ta, the dude wanted opinions and 65 others looked but didn't say anything. I just can't understand why people wouldn't give their thoughts...this is especially bad when someone on this forum is asking for help with something. I'm not being an *** or anything, but why not help someone that asks for it? And now that I think of it, maybe those were the only 2 choices for him... (we NOW know he simply forgot to put the others in, but you know what I mean.) Anyway, besides all that, all the hoods look good, but it's just up to the owner. Swat

I'd rock a stock WS6 hood over a Raptor, but that's just me. Of all the ones mentioned in this thread, I'd go WS6 hood then WS9 and those are the ONLY two I would get on MY car. SLP, Raptor, Firehawk, yadda yadda hood I really don't like.

If I responded to every thread I looked at, I'd never leave the computer. That would be just as bad as post whoring.

Do the Raptor hoods still have the problem with the gap with the fender? If not, get that.
