Since i'll be getting a discount I mine as well get a new hood but which one would be the best for my car?
Stock - no additional costs (more then likley will be 100-200 dollars cheaper.
GTX - May be a bit more, looks arnt as great as ws6..
WS6- will be more but will look nicer
SD hood is not an option nor any of the $500+ hoods are also not options considering i dont have that kinda money.

I would choose F1 hood but since none of this list. I don't like those hood what you plan. I guess I would say stock hood. That's my honest answer. Good luck for whichever hood you will get.

F1 is too much. Its going to be the one of the 3 on the top of the list. Its kinda down to GTX or ws6...
How much is a GTX hood thats either painted or non-painted?

I know what you mean. Like I say I have no choice but vote stock hood intead GTX or WS6 hood  It will interesting to see if GTX OR WS6 on silver car. Maybe it will prove me wrong if they are look good since we have same galaxy silver color.

At the moment the cheaper route for me to take is going the extra 100 or so for the aftermarket hood...My car may benefit a bit more because of the CAI? I have no idea. But anyhow the painting fees would be on there for the stock hood anyway so I wont be paying for paint either...mine aswell get the Ws6.

Is that really worth to get aftermarket hood for CAI? If your car is racing then do it but if it is daily driver then I don't think you need aftermarket hood. My car is just for "car show" only.

None of our cars really benefit from the "ram air" function or if so to a very small degree. Looks like Thunderbat already answered both of those....

I'd say go with the GTX, the WS6 I think for some would look weird on a sedan. Plus with that huge bulge in the hood I think the spoiler would need to be upgraded as well to even it out.

I'm going with the 414 dollar hood. It'll cost me about 100-200 extra but worth it. I'm going w/ the ws6 hood which i think will look good on my car and the discount will help nicley.

I think the dark tint/Chrome rims, and some nice grilles will compliment the hood nicley, it shouldnt look weird on a 4 dr since it looks sporty enough.
