I think the Saleen hood is fiberglass. The only aftermarket hoods I know of that are aluminum are these:

You do know that your hood is aluminum, right?
Or are you looking for another style of aluminum hood?
Personally I'd get fiberglass to save on weight and maybe be easier to drill into for the hood pins, hood scoop, etc.

Pretty much all aftermarket fiberglass hoods weigh more than our stock aluminum hoods.

I talked to a guy on another site that said he had the CDC shaker system on his car when he ordered the Foose style aluminum hood from CDC.....the one with the shaker cutouts in it already. He didn't have any pics but said it looked awesome. Now he's considering putting a B9 scoop over the shaker scoop (kinda defeats the purpose, but oh well). After talking to him a while I have to say that I'm starting to seriously consider the CDC hood. I think that with the Cervini M1 scoop would be badass.
