Talking New Cowl Hood
I bought a 300 dollar hood off of eBay and it fits very nice. Here are dome quick pics with the phone right after the install today.






I'll take some good pics of the truck tomorrow and post them up.

Steel, it's not fiberglass.

I have 669 bucks between the hood and paint, had to have very little body work done to make it perfect.

Looks good.

Only issue I have is fr $669 you could have bought a good deal of HP. I like looks but love performance.

Thanks.

I have around 400 HP and close to 800 FT LB of Torque, I'm pretty sure I'm doing good on power.

The badges and the pin strip are staying the body molding will be getting removed. I may attempt to remove it tomorrow. I have mirror caps that I painted storm gray from the old truck and I think I will be painting them black to put on.

Looks great! Especially the fitment around the top of the headlights.

Who did you find to paint it?
