The best would be the OEM SS Hood check out the pic's in my sig. But keep in mind that it cost's about $1500.00 plus shipping and tax, then you have to have it painted that is some more cash. But the ASCD SS Hood is a good fit from what I have heard.

Used OEM is the best SS hood out there. I had a ASCD SS Hood my 99 6 banger and the fitment was ok, but the workmanship was unacceptable. Go with a used OEM SS hood.

i hear u on the 1200 dollar thing ive heard from some people that the harwood ss hoods fit pretty decent however ive heard of some cases where it had to have some work done to it before but for the money its worth it i think it is 489.00 at summitt. plus it is lighter weight

I've had bad experiences with aftermarket body parts. Go OEM and you'll never regret it! I've seen OEM hoods on e-Bay go as low as $650.00 but you can't be in a rush... I guess it all depends how **** you are about your vehicle.

I have a suncoast ss hood and there is a gap where the hood meets the front bumper. I would go with an oem one if I was going to do it again. I'm actually thinking of changing mine out for an oem hood.

I'm not sure to tell you the truth. It is somewhat different as I think it sits a little higher than a stock ss hood but I am not sure if it is wider or anything like that.
