I'm sorry I forgot that I had the hood poped when I took that pic. It fits great.

That hood looks gorgeous!
two questions:1) round figures, off the record, about how much do they get for one of those?
2) Who else makes custom hoods?
3) Which are the most popular?

My problem is that the opening should be much larger. I do like
the shape of the hood.
Good luck

Hood doesn't look bad at all. If you go with it, do the stripes.
