I have to agree that the stock hood is really ugly lol. I have tried searching for it awhile back, on ebay, amazon, gmarket, whatever wholesale website for a replacement good looking hood like the original 24-70 but all dont have

looks like you don't understand the design diff between mk 1 and 2 even now.
look at the image below from the digital picture. both are fully extended. the mark 1 is at 24mm the mark 2 is at 70mm. This is y the hood design is different.
"The 24-70 L I and 28-70 L retract deep into their main-lens-barrel-mounted hoods as their focal length is increased, they have significantly better shading at the longer focal lengths. In other words, the 24-70 L I and 28-70 L are using an appropriate-for-the-selected-focal-length lens hood at all focal lengths while the 24-70 L II (and most other similar zoom lenses) are using a made-for-24mm hood at all focal lengths. "
If you really have a 24-70 II and a FF camera, you will realise the top and bottom part can easily extend for another 3.5cm without vignetting. Otherwise products like this wont work:
