Default aftermarket hoods?

Can someone point me in the right direction to look at the different style aftermarket hoods that are available for the 99-02 Silverado? I have always been about all go and no show so I don't even know where to start looking. I want a cowl induction hood with no groove down the middle and preferably steel. Anybody got a link? Thanks.

I just looked at Goodmark,Keystone,Reflexxion and even APC.Cant find a steel cowl for the nbs trucks without the groove in the middle.
I'm running a Goodmark and really like it,great quality.You might look at those unless your dead set on finding one without the groove.
Keystone has a fiberglass hood with a traditional look,even has a functional flip scoop,but the pic of it shows it with hood pins and I think the price was like 750 bucks.

keystone is the only one i can think of. and it has the old chevelle style flipper on the top. i think it just looks out of place on our trucks.

other than that all the cowl hoods i've seen are modeled after the C5 hood so yur gunna have to life with the groove in the middle or get something custom made

I like the Chevelle flipper out back. Makes it look like a real muscular vehicle, like the velles. I just wish they had one for a Sierra too

I agree, look for the 99-02 dominator if you don't want the line down the middle.

Thanks, guys. This is what I wanted. The East Coast hood is exactly what I was thinking but now the problem is I like the steel ram air hood at Goodmark. I am going to shop around some more and see what else is out there. Does anyone know about the quality of the East Coast hood?

one of my friends has the east coast customs cowl hood and it fits pretty good. it wasn't warped up in the middle or gapped up around the edges or anything like that. and the finish was not wavy at all.
