5" Wider Cowl?

Hey, been a long time since Ive been on here but Im about to get the Z28 back from the chassis shop and I have to put a new hood on before I drive it too much. Problem is I cant stand the regular cowls. They look tacked on and dont flow with the car right. I need a hood thats got at least a 4-5" rise and it seems like no one makes the Jongbloed or Sunoco or whatever its called in a 5" anymore. So whats out there guys?

if they don't still make it you can modify the jongbloed or Sunoco so its 5 inch tall

Cutting up a $300+ hood and trying to glass it back up and have it look good is more than I wanna attempt. I do think Ive found somthing that might work but I need to do some measurements first.
