Quality hood - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

So I've asked about specific companies and so far no luck. So I'll do the opposite, can anyone name any companies that make good quality hoods. I'd really like a twin turbo, or daytona style, but I am interested in the company whether its a cowl, RA, etc.

Thanks

Have had two Harwoods, Now 2 1/2 rear cowl on 87 Iroc and the
fit is better than original steel.
Had to trim after test fit, winshield lip about 1/4 inch to clear wipers
Took 10 minutes with tape and cutoff.

After sanding and painting can't even tell its a glass hood.
Alot of them have that wave look to them unless you really
get into heavy prep.

I've heard some pretty good things about harwood, that's actually the direction I am leaning now. Just getting a 3 in cowl bolt on
