Default Custom hoods

I have a 2002 6sp convt. I would like to put a custom hood to enhance it's appearance. I'm not planning to put a maggie on so it doesnt need to be a high rise but I won't rule that out. i have heard nightmares about certain manufactures terrible fitting hoods and don't want to go there. What I'm looking for are some pictures, prices vendors and opinions. Any help???? Thank for you're time...

Is your hood a shade off from the bumper?
