Which hood is best?

I'm looking at 2 hoods that are almost identical, hawks ram air II or duraflex ram air. Anyone have one of these hoods? I want the that will function most like a regular hood and fit the car best, I'm not worried about functionality just for looks.

Just look at the recent thread "aftermarket hood" and see the fitment of the Duraflex. Send those pics to Hawks and ask them to gaurantee theirs won't fit like that.

True lol the one from hawks is quiet a bit more expensive but I'm willing to spend more for a hood that fits well
