Which hood would you pick - Part II
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
SLP hood
or
Mecham hood
what are the quality issues with the Mecham?

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?

I think the SLP looks the most aggressive... but maybe I'm a little biased.
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.

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)
