Best cowl hood?

I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times already, but.............

I need recomendations for the best companys for bolt- on, fiberglass cowl hoods, who's good, and who's not?

Has anybody bought a fiberglass hood on ebay from either "hood4sale" in Ohio, or "Tamraz discount parts wharehouse" out of Illinois? Are they any good? Is it better to get one from Hawks, Year One, or somebody else?

Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of mine from harwood. The front edge just doesn't fit right, and it would take some fiberglass work to make it look sort of correct if that's even possible.

I've been swapping emails with Tamraz on eBay. They sell Glasstek hoods on their eBay store and the price appears to be better than anyone elses. Only downside is the delivery charge to get one from Chicago to Phoenix....
