Replacement Hood questions
I just did my top end and it looks like I will need a hood for clearance I am not sure what style I like best but can anyone tell me which brand hood is good , and are they all finished glass on the under side so it can be painted to look nice.

There are several vendors on here that sell aftermarket hoods
They are not all the same, some are pressed SMC, some hand laid fiberglass, some are race glass etc..
Some are smooth on the underside and some are not.
Got to do a little research, call them and ask the specific questions and get references from guys.
Ecklers usually has good stuff but can be slow to ship and can be pricy. Vanacors is good, several others.
