If you are looking for one finished on both sides, they make a nice one (albeit more expensive...)

The champion hoods are junk IMO.  The US Body part is far better and will take much less time on prep and paint which will cost less and offset the price differential between the two hoods.  A happy body and paint guy is one that does not have to prep a junk hood for tens of hours.

Crites restorations has a "ram air" style hood thats a little diffrent and if im not wrong its a 3or 4" http://critesperformanceparts.com/ they do take a while because they dont keep them in stock so they have to make one when you order it.
