Upon reading this post I would like to suggest that you check out
www.suncoastcreations.com I bought 2 hoods from them and although they are expensive, they are the best hoods on the market. They come ready to paint and use existing hardware for installation. I was told by the bodyshop that did my install that it was the best fiberglass hood that they had ever worked with. They said it only took one try to paint it and install because it was all preped when they got it and the quality of the fiberglass and craftsmanship was excellent. Check em out and good luck whichever way you go!
