Default Camaro fiberglass hood

Hello everyone, i am new to this forum. I have a 1990 IROC that has a damage hood. I want to get a fiberglass hood SS style. Does anyone have one and could you tell me which company you chose and the quality of fitment as well as quality overall of product? Also does any company make a carbon hood for 3rd generation camaros? Thanks for any input.

Thanks everyone that put in some info regarding my search, please keep comments coming. However i would like some input from people that have already own and installed aftermarket hoods. As far as comment (92camaroRS) keep your back woods comments to yourself. I want to save weight, add some new tech look as well as be unique if possible. I dont see anything wrong with carbon fiber, heck they use extensively in the C-6 Z06 Corvette, im sure it cant be wrong.

all the fiberglass hoods i've owned were Harwood. top quality , look good (even after panited) , good fit, finished under side , and light weight.

the last 3rd gen i had, i painted the whole car , even the hood....but i painted the hood satin black. red car witha satin black 4" cowl (i did paint the sides of the cowl red though) , i thought it looked killer. the last V8 S-series truck i had was black and didn't paint the 3 1/2" cowl hoo i had on it....i would like to see a 4th gen with a flat black SS hood with just the scoop painted.
