There's Harwood Industries, but I've heard people complain about them. (I've also heard just as many people happy.) There's also US Body Source, besides making cowl (and other induction) hoods, they make factory-style fiberglass hoods.. one of these days I hope to get one. There's also Fender Enterprises, they have used f-body parts, but the prices they've given me seem pretty damn high. American Sports Car Design has a trick-looking ram-air hood.

Hah!! My Fiero's already got a Fiberglass hood. Heh, sorry.. had to add that in. What is it exactly that you hope to accomplish? Get the RAM-AIR setup or to reduce weight?

IMHO, a good fiberglass hood is one that you design and cut yourself. I mean, obviously get the regular fiberglass hood, but put the scoops in yourself. Get the louvers from an 86 TransAm (those vents on the left and right side of the hood) and then install inset scoops (like on a 73 Mach-1 RAM-AIR Mustang). for the RAM-AIR.. that would be really sweet.
