Non vented, and fix the fit.
Most of the issue is on the sides, wher ethe hood line does not follow the body line, so the hood is slightly open.
I suggest using Dzus fasteners to attach it, pop up 1/4 turn slotted, with the hood resting on spring loaded stops. Remove the fasteners and the hoot lifts enough to get your hands under it.
I would carry two small closed cell foam blocks to put on my roof so I could remove the hood and set it on the roof.
I built a glass hood for my old G-Body that looked stock from two feet away and weighed under 6 lbs.

Sure. I need a good, straight hood you don't care about.
And lots and lots of time.
Help me swap trannies in my 90 this winter and we will make a mold.
Vacuum bagged, foam reinforced glass can be very light. It will support it own weight but nothing else.
First good snowstorm and we are making another

Hmm, so I'll have to source a hood and keep my old one for the winter as I have no garage
maybe I'd just be better off if I bought a CF hood. And for the record, if I do buy a CF hood I'm having it painted. ;-)
