Default Question about a hood, help would be appreciated

Does anybody know where I can get this hood? Take notice that this hood is extended a bit frOm the factory one and there is a peice around the headlights and grille to make te front end extended to meet the length of the hood.
It says it's the b-429 hood by trufiber and this picture is from cruizin concepts but I called and the one they carry is not the extended one, it is the oem hood length, and i want this hood and this one with the extended peice, help appreciated

Hmm interesting find, I have never seen that one before... Are you sure its extended or are you thinking that because of how it looks in the picture?

Except that those fender/h.lamp bucket extensions look like schit when you're up close.
It just doesn't work with the bumper IMO.

I could see the gap just from the picture. Maybe it would look better if the gaps were filled and painted!
