Default Need help picking a good hood!!

ok i am ready to get my hail damage fixed. The insurance company and the estimates i got from a couple of shops all are quoting $800-$900 just to replace the hood(thats not including paint) and i know i can find an aftermarket hood for that or less. But i dont know which one to get, i want one that looks good and will fit nicely. anyone who has bought an aftermarket hood please share your experience.

I went with the TruFiber GTS-2... the GTS-3 has nicer lines up towards the windshield, but it was not available when I got the GTS-2 back in September.

I like the look of the GTS-3 as it blends nicely with the lines of the stock hood and body.

i went with seibon. i know with the 1990's mustang you can adjust the hood for alignment issues, but on my 05-07 there is no adjustments so i was kinda skeptical about buying a hood. its kinda a hit or miss cause these hood just bolt on. i was suprised it was an exact fit without any issues and you can retain all your factory parts(hoodliner, etc) mine had little dimples that marked where you had to drill to put the plastic push things(not sure what there called)to put your hoodliner back on. bottom line great fit and not to pricey.
