I don't think the first one is a real aftermarket hood. Rather its probably a stock hood with this stuck on it. Sooner or later, this will separate from the hood and leave cracks because bondo/fiberglass expands at different rates as temperature changes. Also might separate because of all of the vibrations/shock that goes on as you drive a car.
