Any suggestions on parts house for these that fit the best?
Assuming these parts come from the same manufacturer

Thanks

I have 3 hoods in my barn. Too bad you don't live closer to Oklahoma. LOL!! Those are expensive and I bet shipping is pretty high. Good luck.

The salesman I talked to at Auto Metal Direct said he has heard a lot of good reviews about the hood they sell. It's way out of this college student's budget though

Call me suspicious but I doubt there are more than one companies actually manufacturing those. Distribution is another thing.

I emailed NPD and AMD to inquire.

AMD says the metal is 20 GA on the website.

There is only 1 or 2 factories in China stamping out these replacement parts. Some companies that put their sticker on the parts have better QC standards than others.

I recall emailing a company in Taiwan that was considering making the hoods a few years back. For the life of me I cant seem to find the info now.
Maybe it was these guys - https://en.chlautoparts.com.tw/news.html
