Default Need advice on aftermarket hood

I am looking for a new hood for my 80. I have a new intake which wont clear the stock hood. I am looking for a couple inches. I would like a stock appearing one if possible. I ruled out an L88 hood, as I personally don't loke the looks of them on the newer C3s. I have an ACI rear clip which has a decent fit and was looking for advice on types and manufacturers for hoods. Any good ones? How about ones to avoid? I appreciate any advice.

Eckler's has been reported to make a very high quality hood and they do offer a stock hood that is raised a bit (1 1/2 or 2") in the center section above stock.
