trufiber makes very good hoods. Not the cheapest there is, but not the most expensive. Most importantly they are well finished. What you save in a cheap hood you can easily pay back 2 to 3 times in cost to prep the hood at a body shop.

My favorite as far as fiberglass stuff, is Cervini or Kaenen.
I'm doing the new Cervini (KR style) next week for a buddy to put on his GT500.
It looks so much better in person than some of the pictures I've seen of it.
I just got this thing yesterday and upon inspection and true to Cervini, it's top notch quality.
The hood includes 68 style hood pins and most importantly, it comes with twist lock brackets.
It's mega important in my book, non pro guys won't have to rig up a Mickey Mouse system.
I still have to pre-fit it but I ain't worry about anything bad.
I will make a thread and post pics next week when I start that job.
