Default Any aftermarket hoods to avoid?

I have seen some pretty wavy aftermarket hoods and don't want to pay a body shop a ton to fix a brand new hood.
Whos the most reputable and whats brands style should I avoid?

i bought mine off ebay, and it looked great. i ended up selling it to a guy locally that put it on and fit well. be careful about ebay though b/c some guys will rip you off. check there feedback and stuff. its a crapshoot sometimes but if done right should pay off in the end.

cervinis has great stuff but pricey.

H.O. Fibertrendz and Cervini are a couple of good ones.

The only complaint i have with my cervini is that they didn't make a 4 inch cowl hood like H.O Fibertrends

Harwood, Cervinis, H.O. Fibertrends are the only ones I would suggest.

I noticed American muscle sells the Kenan hoods now. Do you need to use hoodpins for those? I do NOT want to have hood pins stickin out of my hood...
