71 Fiberglass 442, Ram Air Hood

Hi Gang,
I was just wondering what fiberglass 442 hoods everyone is using with good results? The vendors to stay away from. I have a 71 Cutlass convertible and am wanting to go with a 442 Ram Air hood, but I have heard of some horror stories of certain ones as well. I am looking for the type with air box as I want to use existing hood hinges with the light weight springs.
Thanks in advance!

Glasstek makes the best lightweight all fiberglass hoods. Not perfect but a nice in-between from OE. And race . Usually race hoods are very thin fiberglass and will just warp overtime as fiberglass moves around. My bolt on hoods haven't moved much they fit pretty good.
