Does anyone know of any glass or carbon aftermarket hoods for the first gen? My stock hood is dented and if possible i would like to get something custom before I repaint everything. Thanks!

You can get a fiberglass hood from Japco. I don't know too much about them, but what I've heard, most people like them.

cool, anything with scoops that anyone knows about? And the reason I want one is that after I bought my 7 some kid thought it would be cool to jump around on my hood. He is currently undergoing reconstructive face surgury anyways my hood is all fucked up. And 130$ is fine with me, since I'm going to repaint the whole car here soon.

There's a guy on the "other" forum that is doing his own hoods. I think they are still in the experimental stages. Check it out if you want:
