Question ???'s about hoods

well, it's possible that i will be replacing my hood very soon, and i need some information about some different hoods. if you wanna read the story behind replacing the hood (it's somewhat long), check here: My Story

who do you guys think makes the best SS-Style hood out there (other than GM)? American Sports Car Design, RKSport, Suncoast Creations, Harwood, or these guys: VFN Fiberglass? I'm looking for a bolt-on solution, not a pin-on.

does anyone know of a 2" - 3" cowl hood that has more fluid drops on the side of the cowl, instead of just dropping off sharply on the sides?

and does anyone that has experience with SLP's Ultra-Z or Suncoast Creations' Z-Style hoods have any info/advice (build quality, proper fitment, known problems) that they can give me about them?

Do a search this has been done to death.
But I have the UltraZ hood on my car,(I got it used)the hood looked like the ocean when I got it.Took the bodyshop along time to make it smooth(thank god I know the owner or it would have been very expensive to fix).
The fitment of the hood was very good.

There is a pretty good sale going on in the sponsor section, also with a free hood raffle.
