Stock WS.6 hood or the WS9 hood.

I don't care for that Mecham hood at all.
Raptor doesn't do it for me either.

I voted for the VFN as well. The mecham looks good, I've seen it in person, but there are so many quality issues with them that I wouldn't reccomend it at all

guys I REALLY APPRECIATE everyones vote & comments.

any thoughts about this Mecham hood? I've heard here and there that the quality sucks, but what kind of problems are we talking about?

problem for me the Raptor/Firehawk hood doesn't look mean enough on the car, kinda reminds me of just the stock hood with curves. and I don't like how the stripes look on them. the WS6 hood is almost a little too common for me. I guess with the heat extractors and 30th anniversary stripes it won't be that common :burnout: but now I've been looking at the SLP hood and I'm starting to like it. I'll probably start a new poll to help further my decision :D

I personally think the Mecham looks cheesy and is a hands down big no no, for me.

The WS9..jesus, I was thinking about it today. I really like that look. Its not trying to hard to stand out, but its a different look.

WS6? I didnt see that in the poll..all I saw was the WS9, Raptor, and Mecham. The Raptor reminds me too much of a stock hood. Which is fine, but it depends how much money youre forking out just to fit in with the rest of the crowd.

EDIT: Oh now I know what you meant by the WS6. Hmm...gosh, Id say the ws9 just makes it over the raptor hood. BUT. If the raptor hood is $100 or more cheaper, then Id go with that one instead..if the quality is good.

mecham hoods tend to need a lot of prep before install and paint and they've had issues with cracking around the heat extractors and the fiberglass peeling or cracking around the edges

Generally they are a pile of sh!t. I had one and will never buy another thing from Dennis. The hood was a piece of cr@p and started to sperate and bubble. When I called Dennis about it, he basically said he did not believe me and I would have to prove it. I sent him numerous detailed pics and after that he basically told me to fvck off and that it was my problem. Great customer service, quality product, and excellent comapny.
