Sorry, I just could'nt resist...
I looked around for about a half an hour...came up empty. Something will turn up...you just have to be ready to jump on it when it does....good luck on your search.
Stay in tune....

Search E-bay and Craigs List they seem to come along every couple of moths or so. If You don't need a pressmolded factory Hood and want an Ecklers they sell for about 1/3rd the price. I have an extra Airbox to bond in the underside if You need one of those.

I bought an Eckler's L88 scoop and have a guy putting it on my SB hood right now. I saw the bonded job yesterday and it looks pretty damn good. He still has to sand more, strip the paint, and primer, but overall I'm happy. I know this option is predicated on finding someone you can trust to do the work, but definitely an option.
