Help me decide, which hood to buy?

I had a thread a while back about aftermarket hoods & it is time to order now. I put it off because of sled pulling season & my date is now creeping up on me. I'm scheduled to take my truck to the bodyshop on Sept 15th & I'm gonna order now to be sure it arrives. Which one do you guys like best? I can't decide.
Attachment 23612 I'm kinda leaning toward this one.

You must be a big spender, that one is $200 more than the top one.

LOL, if I buy something then it's always the best of whatever type of product I'm looking at but I picked #2 because it looks more like the Mopar of old, 60's-70's.

PS: Who is making those because I know that a heavy duty fiberglass hood is not cheap.

I like the looks of the third hood the best. Never have been a fan of the two inlets on the hood.

I've been living in Pa my entire life, my neighbor has been here for 60 years & we've never had storms like this here. I guess its the good Lords way of telling me to paint my truck.

I found that hood at Cheaptruckparts.com, they had it listed cheaper on ebay...here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-01...mZ160271463260
Not sure who makes it.

X2. The two vents just look too much like the cheezy stick on hood scoops. Put a hood stack on it and call it a day.

I know what you guys mean about the cheezy scoops. I love the hood stacks, but I don't want to have a sooty day every time I drive it.

My sister has that hood, minus the scoop. Just a plain cowl from Reflexxion, or whatever their name is. All steel hood. I like the scoopless hoods the best myself. Second choice would be the one above.
