I'd highly recommend the MCM hood - I had one on my '00 and loved it. Top quality, great fit and excellent customer service. I bought mine directly from the company.

Here's a pic:

I'm pretty sure you can't get the MCM hood direct from them any longer. You can get it from breathless performance however. Good luck.

Just be sure of your choice some cowl hoods are impossable to see over. I love the look of a tall cowl but anything over 2 1/2" is mad for drag or straight line only.
