Default great, now i need a new hood

a friend of mines, family ran over my hood with their Avalanche
it was on the ground while we were pulling the motor out
So, most likely I'll need a replacement, since the damage was pretty damn substantial, top and bottom.

So, any cheap fibreglass cowl hoods out there?
If i did go that route, I'de like it to be kinda small. Like maybe 2"

any suggestions are welcome, so lemme see them

The Mike Moran 5" cowl hood looks the best to me, only cause it seems to follow the lines of the hood better. The 2 and 4" cowl versions just dont seem to look as good, imo anyway.

The VFN hood looks good too, and if i had to get a cowl hood i'd get one of those.

I'm interested in this, too. I was looking at hoods this past summer. I was thinking of ordering the one that TR has. I couldn't find anyone that has it.

I have the 2 3/4" cowl from American Sports Car Design and imo it looks very sharp and follows the lines of the car nicely. Also they are reasonably priced.
