Default L88 scoop

I am looking for an L88 scoop to put on my 78. I have 2 options so far, an Ecklers one or an Ebay one. Of course I'm always on a budget and cheaper is better.

The ecklers one is 4 inches longer and one inch taller and that makes me wonder if the ebay one is only for the shorter hoods with a wiper door, maybe?

Who has glassed one in, how long was it, and what was the quality like? I have no worries about glassing it in myself.

Been there done that...the Eckler piece is contoured to lay on the Vette hood plus it's a much higher quality product. You get what you pay for

I am having problems finding a scoop for the long hood, anyone make one? I have read that it needs to be about 53" long.
