aftermarket hoods

Looking to maybe add a different hood over the winter to help compliment the factory ground effects. Interested in how hard they are to fit, and the work involved. I have fitted a few on other cars before including a fiberglass one on the nova. Would like to forgo the extra cost to have it painted, co carbon fiber would probably be the way to go. Really like the body armor 2000 z28 style hoods but they aren't made anymore in carbon fiber as far as i know. The rk sport hood with the single basic vent also looks good, as i really don't want anything with tons of louvers. The suncoast hood is also good but its fiberglass. Just wanting to know your experience with them, and what you would recommend. Thanks
