I've been searching alot and thinking I would like to get a new hood. For the longest time I couldn't figure out what hood I had. Turns out it is an slp ho hood. Anyway, I think I like the wsq ? I want something with a higher side profile than the ws6 hood though.. Opinions of what you guys think and what are some good sites to check out. Thanks !

Ws9 hood is a ws6 hood with little triangle vents back towards the windshield

The WSQ has the higher profile you're looking for, but it just looks like the inside of a rivers butthole. If the WS6 doesn't scream enough for you, then the WS9 offers a bit more of that "Oooh, look at me!" factor.
In either scenario, you can get a "LS1" decal for the cowls!!

Is that the same as the super hawk hood?

Haha, yeah I like the ," oooh look at me!" Factor to be honest lol.. But the ws9 is larger right?

I don't believe so, the wsq hood as large heat extractors on the nostrils

Looking for a cowl, seeing as I don't have the ram air intake setup.

Mechanic hood is pretty sick looking, but I kinda wanted something with a higher side profile

I personally love the WSQ but feel the cars needs the right wheels/stance to pull it off...
