I saw some the other day at a place called performance products here in knoxville that were pretty nice. They were the flat ones and were metal framed with carbon fiber inserts. I will see if I can find them and post a link. I think they were made by Moroso.

I've been looking into getting these, just think they're kind of bulky. I don't know what to do about my hood it lifts just slightly, but if I lower my hood latch anymore it won't catch
