Sorry for the 2nd poll, but I really want to make sure I make the right choice on hooods.
I've decided between three different hoods out of all the ones I could get.
And recently became interested in the SLP hood.
I will most likely be putting stripes on the car
Comments and opinions about the hoods are well appreciated :)
WS9 hood (WS6 w/ heat extractors) by VFN

or
Mecham hood

still ws9. Never really liked the h.o. hood that much. From what I have heard, Mecahm hoods have a poor fit and after time have a problem where the fiberglass cracks.

WS9...
mecham fit porly and ive heard you need a prop rod with it or you get cracks...
dont like the slp... never been a big fan of it filling the lower openings and doing such a hard ramp into the intake...
BUT... arent ws9's hard to find? didnt he stop making them about 9 months ago?

Every mecham hood owner has said time and time again they are crap and wouldnt recomend getting one. Bad fittment and they crack.
WS9...

I think the SLP looks the most aggressive... but maybe I'm a little biased. :D
I don't understand why people think the heat extractors on the WS9 make it look so much better.... It looks too much like all the other WS6 cars out there.

Stock WS.6 or WS.9.

thanks again everyone for your input
I think I'm going to decide between the WS9 Outlaw or the WS6 (since it's nearly the same and $200 cheaper)

Outlaw has taller 'nostrals' too... ws9 (non-outlaw) is closer to the ws6 tho

I dont know anything about the fitment or quality but I would say based on strictly looks mecham is by bar the best looking one.
