Default hood question

My friend has a hood from a corvette, but he doesnt know the year and he wants to sell it. Its probably a c5.

Are there different hoods in different c5s?
Is there a way to identify the hood?
I will try to get a picture and post later.

all c5 hoods are the same except of the 04' Z06 which I believe is carbon fiber.

Only the '04 Commemorative Edition Z06 had the carbon fiber hood.

The carbon fiber hoods are worth plenty of $$$$$.
