We had a problem with the original fiberglass hood and front valance so we ordered replacements from NPD. The hood required a little work but the front valance fit great and it was a Dynacorn part.

The hood had a low spot in the back and the front corners needed a little fiberglass added to match our front fenders

Our new employee Marco is almost finished with the hood

Brian was shocked that an aftermarket part fit and doesn't need to be modified and top it off it is fiberglass!!!
 
The body was epoxy primed for the last time and wet sanded with 600 before paint.
