RK Sport 
I say go with the RK Sport hood. I asked the same question a long time ago about aftermarket SS hoods, and didn't get much feedback. So I figured I would give RK a shot and it is a very nice hood and looks identical to the stock hood!! When I took it to get painted my body man said it ws one of the nicest fiberglass pieces he'd ever seen, so if that means anything.
I know the pic sucks, but thats all I got!!

Forgot I had a digital camera.... 
OK, heres some better, albeit not much, pictures of the RK Sport SS hood. Remember the car is in storage under a car cover, so don't mind the dust!! But I say if you are looking for a close to stock SS hood, this is the ticket. The other hood thats nice and looks stock is the ASCD hood, but I think it is pretty expensive, I had the RK hood shipped to my door, Illinois, for like $650.
Just tryin to help, been there too!!!

Well I had a RK sport hood on my old Z... and it cracked on the underside... in a few places... so I would stray away from RK Sport... but maybe they have changed their quality now...

I sure hope their quality is better now, I try not to slam the hood as much as possible, just let it sit on the spring and then press down and distribute the load throughout the hood.
