Default good cowl hood?

Looking to buy a 4 inch cowl hood for my 97 z28. What is a good brand that doesnt require much prep work?

Sorry to say but they all require work. I went with Glastek. I am happy with it.

I have a Glasstek hood and the fit is awesome. As with all fiberglass hoods I would think they're all going to need a little bit of work to be perfect

I have a Sonoco that fits great. fitment is slightly off the body lines up by the windshield and the hood is a little thicker than factory so it has a small lip along the front bumper line. not too noticeable though especially for aftermarket
