Default Hoods

I hit a deer on halloween and it is at the shop being repaired right now. I found out today the hood needs replaced too.
What hoods have you found to fit well? The guy at the body shop said a lot of them, especially fiberglass hoods, have fitment problems. I don't want anything real aggressive like a 5 in. cowl induction, but would like something better than stock. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys, I like several of the cervini's hoods and my bodyshop guy says they fit well usually. In your opinion which would look best with my car? I was thinking the 2.5 cowl, or the heat extractor. I like the '67 but I think it would look stupid with my wide stripes and i'm not restriping the whole car. Which do you like best?

from what I've heard, Cervini's makes some really nice hoods...but if you're thinking about a cowl hood, I personally wouldn't go any higher than a 2"-3"...and a 3" might be pushing it..

Here's the 4" cowl, from the inside view...
PITA, belong to a race car IMO.

It really depends on the look of car you're going for.
Foose Stallion Hood is a good option too.
