Default Hood Recommendation for 1996 C4 LT1

Hi,

My clamshell hood has been damaged beyond repair. My car is at the auto body shop and they are having a hard time finding a hood in good shape to use as a replacement.

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation on any non OEM hoods based on fit and function.

Or does anyone have a hood in good condition they are willing to sell.

Thanks

Lt motors have a different mold by the alternator. 88-89 won't work either. Introduction of the Lt5 in 90 and the radiator shroud change in 90 the hood mold has changed . in most cases 90-91 can be used.
