I had one of those ebay hoods on my 86. It wouldn't even use them on a racecar because it started cracking so bad I thought it was going to come apart driving down the road. Be read to sand a grind to get it straight and smooth, the body lines on the ebay hoods are horrible.

abcexclusive.com is another one. I am not sure if I got their name right, but get any 5.0 mag and there will be a dozen or so ads for companies in them.

I just bought a 2.5" from abcexclusive. Have not had it painted or installed yet, but it is very good quality. I think I paid around $280 plus shipping.
