Stay far away from any hood sold by Eric Holt & Angela Maly based out of Cincinnati Ohio. They've changed their companies name multiple times, doing business as Cobra Auto Designs and Cincinnati Composites to name a few. They are now called champion composites.

The Attorney General alleges that Eric has violated the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. There was a lawsuit which apparently didn't go anywhere as a quick search on Cincinnati Craigslist shows them on there.

Check out vfn fiberglass

I had a VFN Sunoco on a 95 Z28, very well made.
Another vote for VFN.

Trufiber also makes a good hood. Check out the ws6 store.
