Which Hood?

Ok, so I kind of have this dilemma. I have a '04 M6 yellow jacket GTO, and I hit a deer. *cringes* Thankfully there is only cosmetic damage, hood, driver fender etc. But the hood will have to be replaced. Now, I have a list of mods and we all know that addiction, but I don't know if I should put the RKsport Hood on, or the OEM 04 hood. The reason I'm asking is because I like the "sleeper" affect the car has. I don't want people to see the car and think OMG that car looks fast, I want to show them....


So is putting an RKsport hood gonna take away some of that "sleeper" affect the car has? and Does anyone have pics of a yellow jacket '04 oem hood with black racing stripes? I think im going to have stripes painted on the hood and front bumber if I go oem hood.

And on the side, my first mod is pedders suspension, but my car is a DD. Is the Serious Street 1/2in drop rear, 1in drop front, a big difference? I don't want to compromise my ride quality to the point of it only being a race machine, but I need a car thats not gonna roll round the corners..

Any 04-06s in the 9s yet?

ok I guess thats my fault for getting side tracked. I really wanted opinions on the "sleeper" affect. Not which hood to get, but why to get that one.

I've seen all the different hoods for the goat. just wondering how much I can get away with before I lose that subtle sleeper feel.

I hate to break it to you, but you're driving a YELLOW car...you'll never be a sleeper. See my Avatar for details.

I guess I deserved that one. lol.

I really wanted the hood you have for my goat. But I can't seem to get my hands on the RA6 hood.

Guess ill just get the RKsport and call it a night.

This is where I got mine. It's not a "true" RA6 hood, but it is in the Woodward GTO style.
GRAVANA Type-W Fiberglass GTO Woodward Hood - 51% Lighter than OEM! - Gravana Tuning - 2004 Pontiac GTO 5.7

They also make it in Carbon Fiber(which is probably better quality all around).
