I bought a glasstech hood from Ebay. I paid $485 for the hood and $74 for shipping. The hood fits great and it has all the piping to be functional. I just have to buy a grill and cut an opening. Even though the hood needs a little adjusting still, it fits better than my stock hood and I only fooled with it for about 20 minutes. It is heavy like the stock SS hood though, so you don't get a lot of weight savings. Also, the fiberglass is a little rough underneath the hood. However, I have about 5 friends with aftermarket hoods and mine fits better than all of theirs. Good luck!
