does anyone know if there are any aftermarket hoods?

If you just want to be different and not expect the scoop to be all that functional with an easier install try looking for smaller twin side scoops that won't interfere with the windshield washer.
Some can even be two-sided taped on with no drilling or cutting.
Though i don't know if i'd trust that myself.

Just one example of a twin type scoop:

On the other hand if you're looking for functionality as in a large single center scoop be careful where you cut the hole out for it.
You don't want to cut any structural hood ribs.

My thoughts on this: Buy a used hood from the junk yard to "practice" your mods on...

I have been having a hard time finding Patriots at junk yards
for the first time, yard by me finally has a patriot, unfortunately for me its the wrong year,
but a 2014 could be a sweet find for others in PA

A single working scoop isn't gonna work that well if you wanna keep structural integrity of the hood.
