Exclamation Help me choose! (what hood to get)

Alright, I'm fortunate to be getting a new hood, since I'm having serious body work done to my 'balt after my accident last Thurs. night. So, basically I can pick out a new hood and my insurance will be covering part of it, and I'll pick up the rest. I can't decide between these three:

RK Sports
http://www.tntautosport.com/index.ph...roducts_id=176

G5 Ram Air
http://www.tntautosport.com/index.ph...roducts_id=184

Extractor
http://www.tntautosport.com/index.ph...roducts_id=183

Definitely like the first two, since they make the 'balt look that much more aggressive. I'm not sure I like the last one as much. Let me know what you guys like and what I should get. Anyone with pics, definitely post them please, since that is a HUGE factor in my decision. Help! Thanks!

I would get the extractor if you could get it in carbon fiber. I would consider a OEM CF hood.

I've considered it. Price kills me though. I'm almost happier with a yellow hood than CF.

I would get the extractor, G5 ram air has little dinky nostrils and I think the other ram air looks kinda wierd unless you have a body kit

I would be hesitant purchasing anything from TNT Autosport. Threads keep popping up where people have problems. If you do buy from them, make sure you use a credit card so you can file a claim and get your money back if they try to screw you.

All three of those hoods can be purchased straight from RK Sport. Contact Jim, Racecrafter, on this site. He is their sales manager. I don't know if you can get a better price with them, but I've dealt directly with RK in the past and they were great...

I personally don't like stuff that draws attention. I would go for a oem cf hood.

Thanks for your 2 cents, which probably will save me more than that in the long run. I will definitely consider Racecrafter.

I like the g5 hood, but I think the ss carbon fiber hood would look cool too.

Alright, well it seems that everyone is saying Extractor. My thing is, is that I'd like to actually see it on a vehicle, from a few angles. Anyone have this hood and have some nice shots? That will definitely help me decide.

the EXTRACTOR gets my vote... looks like it has function to it

the Ram Air is nice.... doubt it's functional

do you think the extractor would lower under hood temps enough to make a difference?

G5 or the extractor would look good. I really like that invader though, that is the one I am getting.
