Where to get a hood scoop?

I'm looking to get a hood scoop for my 1985 corvette, I don't want one taller than 2" and it only needs to be 11"wide. I prefer to have the opening in the back of the hood. Where could I get a scoop like this? Anyone have any suggestions or reccomendations on what hood scoop i should get?

I've been looking at many style hoods and I can't afford $1300 for a new complete cowl hood. I think I have narrowed it down to a C5 west scoop. Which one of these do you guys like, the viper style or the C4r style? I have heard that I could just cut a hole in my hood and make it functional.

Or possibly get one from here.

What do you guys think?

Don't put anything "viper" on a Vette

If you want a viper buy a viper

The "viper style" is not a viper look alike, actually it looks like the hood scoops on the old 60's vettes.

yeah john, just buy a viper.

I dont know how much I like the viper hood scoop though. the first one looks better in my opinion. but I guess I really have to see it in person. do they make scoops to fit a vette at unlimited? Id get one of those first if they do. and make sure the bolting flange is on the inside of the scoop. have you tried looking for a used complete hood w/scoop? prolly not a very big chance you'll find one I guess, but its worth a shot.
