I've been looking for one for a while. If you find one, let me in on the secret.
 
Learn how to lay fiberglass and make one, it's not too hard. I don't mean the whole hood just the scoop. I have made things before using cardboard as a start and just laying the fiberglass over it. I even thought about using balsa wood or coat hanger as a form. Whatever you lay the 'glass over becomes a part of the thing your making if it is porous and will soak up the resin or it can be ground out and a layer put in its place once the outside is done. If you have never used fiberglass resin be sure to get a can of acetone....that's pretty much the only thing that will clean it up and get it off your hands. I know it soaks through the skin and it's not good for you but neither is the hardener for the resin.

Get some styrofoam and make the form. Easy to cut and shape however you want. Then cover it with aluminum foil so the fiberglass won't melt it.
 
Just buy a prefabbed cowl section from summit racing. Then lay it on with epoxy and fiberglass it on
