they only make them in fiberglass
i'll look them up in a bit, but i do know that you will need to de-tension your hood springs, they will push up slightly on the hood and the fiberglass will have a slight arch along the sides

I see them all the time in Truckin' magazine. Stylintrucks and other web sites have them. I like the single scoop hood and im always looking for a deal on one.(rare)

Ya i can vouch that you need to de-tension your hood springs, both of the Suncoast Fiberglass hoods i had arched in the middle, im still trying to figure out how to do this. I was told to loosen a bolt, but after looking at it.. im not sure what the hell there talking about.
