flat (stock) fiberglass hood

Anybody have any good links (active) to a flat aftermarket fiberglass hood? at a good price I dont see the reasoning of paying 500 dollars for a hood that isnt as extravegant as others.

So a resonably price fiberglass flat hood (no louvers, raised thingamajigs, cowl or other nonsense) .

well to my knowledge no one has ever made a iroc style z28 hood in fiberglass. gm did make their earlier z28 hoods in fiberglass for a short time.

Will the 91-92 blisters fit the 82-84 factory fiberglass (SMC) hood?

Any particular reason?
I've seen blisters put on the IROC Hood and the fiberglass RS hood. Why not the old factory glass (SMC) hood? Couldn't they be placed over the indentations?

I guess if you wanted to put them on the 82-84 hood you could. It just wont be a bolt on like the Iroc hoods. You could put them over the indentations but Im not sure if the blisters would be flush. I say give it a shot. Might have to fab the hood a little bit but a fiberglass hood with the hood blisters would look sweet and be light
