Default Hood fit??

Have any of you C3 owners ever bought a L88 or high rish hood from ecklers? if so how did it fit? did it look as it was original? thanks i am thinking of getting an ecklers high rise hood. But i want it to look like original so i am also thinking about getting a pro stock hood scoop. thanks

I cant speak of Ecklers but the hood I got I believed was from Corvette America:flag. I like the hood for my vette, little to no prep work fit like a glove but I cant use it NOW. go figure. :reddevil

I was very pleased with my Eckler hood. Required very little finish work and fit well.

That's cool but how would a pro-stock hood scoop look original?
