Cervini's and Trufiber seem to be the top two vendors to get hoods from.

I'm looking towards trufiber for my car.....

As for aftermarket hoods you have several options. All depends on what look you want to go with, how much you want to spend, and of course, build quality. Check out the aftermarket list http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=429691

for a bunch of links to different sites that might carry what you are looking for.

I recommend Trufiber if you find one of their styles you like.

OT

I'm so glad I have a 2 car garage and the house I'm buying has the better half of 52 acres as open fields so I can have a huge pole barn built... although damaging hail is a seldom event around here... it is a major contributing factor as to why I don't drive my car to work. The other reason being, the Sergeant said I can't park it at work until it has a front plate, stock exhaust, and the 5% tint comes off (he's gonna love it when the LT's, cams, and heads come)... none of which are going to happen so I have accepted that Sarge is jealous of my car , and I usually only drive my car 6 days a month during the summer when it doesn't rain... Yeah... my 06 has only 4K on it.

Cervinis hoods are top notch. The fit is wonderful.

I went with Cervinis parially because they are 15 miles from me, so I could easily pick parts up the same day.

Thinking of getting the saleen alu hood. I have a trufiber GTS2 completely finished and flawless cond on my car that I may sell. So nice, you can't even tell it's fiberglass. I also have a brand new GTS3 hood still in the wrapper that will also be for sale.
