I got mine from hawks third gen parts, although there are probably places that sponsor this site that sell the hood. I know some companies sell good products, but some companies I think its just luck of the draw. I got mine at a show, so I saw it in person when I bought it. I also know someone who got a hood from the same place I did and it fit HORRIBLE. Mine fits pretty well for an aftermarket hood, its got a few minor glitches, but nothing big.

I have seen the WS6 style for the LS1 cars look bad *** on a LT1 car IMO.

I have a Harwood ram air style on mine. It fits great with zero mods and has been on the car since 1997 and is just now developing a small crack in one of the nostrils, but nothing big...From a paint/prep standpoint it did not require much to get it looking nice...minimal prep needed, and it seems to be lighter than the others I've seen...The only drawback is that you have to cut the nostrils out to make the ram air portion functional...I still use the LPE CAI so I left it non-functional...I use it for weight savings and it looks great, too...I think they are $500 now...
