All of the good steel ones are made by Tri-plus.  The pretty much stamp all of the ones for Reflexion (last I checked) and Goodmark, along with their own...

The Reflexxion hoods in my opinon are the best. Fiberglass is garbage.

DO NOT get an AEM or FBI hood! I have an FBI hood on my 01 and it fits like crap.


I'm still trying to find a 6" metal dominator cowl to weld into my stock hood.

Do all of the steel cowl hoods  still maintain the structural webbing like the stock hood? I'd love a cowl, but I would want to make it functional with a sealed underhood air box. Kinda hard to do with the webbing. I've figured a plausible way of dealing with it but it would just be a lot more work.
