Default Where to buy OEM Style 98-02 SS Hood?

What company sells a OEM quality SS hood for our cars? I don't want some cheap flimsy fiberglass hood like I bought for my third gen. That thing is horrible, has no support underneath to keep it from flapping around on the highway. I like the Sunoco hood but the SS has always been my favorite so I'm going to hook my 01 Z-28 up. Any recommendations are welcomed.

The SS hood that BYUNSPEED offer's is also avialable from Fast Toy's & Afterthoughts Auto at a cheaper price.

Wrong. Byun's is OEM, those listed are aftermarket.

No, trufiber is NOT OEM, and Byun's is the OEM (also comes with SLP grille).

I highly doubt the Byunspeed hood is OEM since SLP sells it for about $1k.
When they say OEM hood they just mean it is the same look as the OEM SS Hood.

They don't break like every other aftermarket fiberglass SS hood that I've only heard horror stories about?

If that's the case, I'll pick one up in December (assuming you don't require it to be shipped to a business like the damn OEM one).

Do the Trufiber hoods come with good support underneath? Meaning they aren't flimsy like a piece of regular fiberglass when opening and closing. And do they come with the grill piece? I might order one today if their good quality. Thanks
