Since this is a clone and I am not trying to fool anyone just making it as nice as I can I do not need an original hood; however I would like to know easy things to look for to tell the difference. Any tips? If I decide to buy a new one any recommendations? Plus do original AAR's have hinged, lift off, or were both types of hoods available?
