Of the ones still produced, I would wager advanced composite products' world challenge hood would better be one of the better ones. http://www.acproducts.us

What I have noticed with a lot of aftermarket CF hoods when I was in the market was the fitment was lacking near the cowl area. The edges of the hoods would all stick up and even some big name ones. I keep looking for something with a nice design and great fitment (OEM).

I'm in the same boat. I was looking at the carbon fiber TS style hood from RPI but not sure about it yet.

Yea, they just have the world challenge hood. Ever since motor city molds got out of the game, we've been left with very few quality hood options. All of the ones sold today will require body work, sometimes extensive, before painting. I believe the ACP hood will require the least. It may be worth sending them an email to see if they have others. Their website does truly suck and it hasn't been updated in forever.

if price is no object. obviously a factory GM carbon hood is going to have the best fit.
