Cervinins (http://www.cervinis.com) has always had good quality, fit and finish. I also hear Kanen hoods are good, but hard to come by since I believe they are a small shop and make hoods for Saleen or Steeda. Can't remeber which.

Stay away from Cincinnati composites. If you look at the Exterior Parts for sale postings on The Corral, there is a sticky explaing why. Basically a crap hood that has been know to fly off while driving on many an occasion.

I'm sure that if you ask around at some of the local speed shops, they may be able to give you some more choices.

If you go with a cowl hood you are going to have to get used to it while driving whether it is a 2in cowl or a 4in cowl. The visibility is going to be a bit different. Mine is only like a 2 inch cowl and THAT was hard to get used to the first time I drove it (I am about 5'8"). Now...it is like having the stock hood on it again, I am totally used to it.

And I agree about the Cervinis. I have a Cervinis Hood and I haven't had ANY issues with it since I bought it.

Good luck with what ever you go with and make sure to post pics once it's all installed!

WESTERN PARK ESE... oh not that kinda hood...

I like the look the big cowls give, especially if the car has the power to back the looks up. I say if your car has the balls go for the big hood. I have heard alot of good things about Cervinis also.

ive got a 2.5" cowl on mine and it looks good and visibility is good though im also 6'2". you may have a lil problem with depth perception if you go with a 4" but chances are you wont. and with that 2.5 on mine, i still dont think its big enough. i def think 4" is the way to go
