topic:

Hoods are not in abundant supply or cheap for grand prixs. I suggest if you happen to find one that fits and is relatively cheap, its a good buy.

If you want go over show, why spend the money on a non functional ram air hood? Not saying yours in perticular, but their are alot out their that have just the hood and not the ram air hook up. I guess this will be another one of those topics that will alsways have it's good and bad. The one thing I do like about the WS6's hight, is if someones capable, vents can be added to the back of it that can help extract heat from the engine bay. Not sure on the F1 because I haven't seen a rear view of it. Not saying one's better than the other, but like said time and time again, it's all in what you want. Everyones opinion would differ. That's what makes this forum so great. We can discuss things like this and find out the likes and dislikes of different products.

Yah, like I said, if I had come across a ws6 hood for cheap, i would buy it and it would probably grow on me, even if I don't care for it over the other hoods available. I have functional ram air on my hood, I don't have it hooked up. I could probably hook it up someday and test to see if it helps the IAT's reading from the aeroforce, but I don't think there is much to gain from hooking it up temp wise and air wise, and the fact that I'd have to cut a hole in my msp intake. It also extracts heat from the engine bay, in the summer there is condensation that builds up around the windshield when the a/c is on. The opening on the left is for air coming in and through the engine bay, the opening on the right of the hood shoots straight over to the intake. Here are some pictures of what im talking about:
