The Cannon high hood is not correct for the GP30.  The Cannon is designed for the 35-series and later.  If I recall correctly, the Cannon hood must be cut and spliced in at least 2 places to get it the correct height.  Even then you have to deal with moving the cowling on the roof back.  However, P2K has hooked us up with a VERY nice model in both phI(N&W) and phII(SOU).

Not without modification as Josh mentioned in his reply.
