Been searching for different hoods?

I have been looking for any and all hoods that the 01 max can take. I have seen two designs by Sarona which I don't like, and then I have only found nothing but Carbon Fiber hoods. I really like the VIS Invader hood, but I really don't want a carbon fiber hood. So my question is have i exhausted my search for aftermarket hoods or are there more that are not carbon fiber?

Thanks

And also those carbon fiber hoods that you see are just fiberglass w/ a very thin layer of carbon fiber over em, nothing really special about them.

If you were going to buy a hood made of complete carbon fiber it would cost a few thousand.
