Default Looking for a fiberglass hood. which one?

I finally got my car running right and dialed in. Now it's time to lose some weight. I like the whole sleeper look so I'm thinking about a fiberglass hood and paint to match the car.
My question is, how well do the new ones fit? Which ones fit the best and how well do the stock latch hoods work. I'd rather not do a pin-on style. Going to stick with a ws6 style hood, nothing fancy.

VFN makes some good hoods. Most fiberglass hoods need a lot of fitment work.

I hear their hood is nice, I'm just worried about it costing me a bunch of money at the body shop to make fit right.

I know there is a thread that I read recently about fitting an aftermarket hood. It was a good guide and made it look easy.
