You won't find one at all! That design would be pretty hard to make using stamped steel, and there is no market for it! We barely have any cool hoods at all in fiberglass. Why don't you want fiberglass?? Do you like the extra weight??

BADNBLK is right...you won't find one produced from steel. If your good with metal...you could always try to make one...

Re: third gen ss steel hood

i wondered about the hood myself

i love the look of the ss hood, but i've had very bad luck with fiberglass in the past (my ex had a ***** accord with a fiberglass hood...i don't like hood pins, it had a latch, and from repeated closings the 2 layers started cracking at the nose and separating...needless to say, the top layer blew off around 109 mph)
