Jeff , there are lots of options with hoods . There are also good better and best . Some of the fiberglass ones don't fit so well and look cheap , even with a decent paint job .
Here are the ones we carry .

MCM ( Motor City Moulds ) Carbon fiber
Lingenfelter , Fiberglass
RKSport , Fiberglass
VIS , Carbon Fiber
Tiger Shark , Fiberglass

The MCM is by far the best , and the one I have on my personal 98C5

Please contact me if you have any questions

Not to undercut Manny as I'm sure the ones he carries are nice (I like the one on his ride) but I am partial to the Caravaggio ones.

Not at all Terry , your hood is one of the good ones for sure .

I just wish there was a C5 hood that didn't have the crease down the center. I think its really out of place on the Vert since it doesn't flow with anything. There are some induction hoods with out it but I don't want an induction hood
