High rise hood?
I would like a 2" high rise hood to be one of my winter projects. I would not mind paying a bit extra for a good quality hood. Any experiences with this? Pics? Who makes a good hood?

Got mine from Vanacor. A buddy of mine got his from Toledo Pro. I would highly recommend the one from Toledo Pro. Fit and finish are much better.
I will eventually be getting the Vette repainted (long story) again in the future. At that time I will be getting rid of the one I have and will be ordering one from Toledo Pro.
More pics available on my website in the sig.
