As far as I know, ASCD (www.americansportscar.com) is the only one making the SS hoods. For pics, search posts and the readers rides. ChevyKen and RSSpeed both have them, so did 90Z28SS (I believe that was the name) until he crashed it 
. I'm not sure if his is still in the reader's rides though. Good luck.

I'm not sure when you posted this, but I just got my ss hood today.
I hit a deer in my 92 rs, and knocked the front end out of alignment. I got new fenders, new bumber, and an ascd ss hood.
My bodyshop said they had a hard time getting it to fit correctly, and they had to do a lot of modifying to the car. They also had to remove the struts on the hood because if you try to close it with the struts in place it would snap your hood due to the force the struts put out.
The hood I recieved had a few scuffs, but was easily fixed by the body shop, and it looked awesome once it was painted.
The quality of my hood was great, but the downfall was that it took 3 weeks to get it in from the day I ordered it.
To conclude, I loved the looks of the hood, but it's a lot more trouble than the stock aluminum hoods.. I wouldn't trade the ascd hood though..
