They seem to pop up everywhere. I would get one that you have seen in real life. This way you know the fit and finish is good.

Try to find a FiberImages one, I think they go for $630 shipped.
However, RedlineMax I [u]think[/] is located on the east coast so shipping might be less from them, and I think their hoods are cheaper. I'm pretty sure their warehouse distributor is here in CA, but it sucks that they don't allow local pick-ups.
Would that be compatible for my GLE, b/c yours is a GXE?

You don't want a fiber images hood. Fitment on the hood isn't that great.

I would just get one from Ange (redlinemax.com) I've seen that hood in person and that hood fits a lot better than my fiber images
