New hood

[Cowboy_80]

I'm thinking about just upgrading my hood instead of taking the dents out. Does anybody know this company?

This one and the Ram Air Hood are both functional. I don't know if the McNeil is or not.

Wow, I like the ramair hood, but by the price of them they sure are proud of their products.

Insurance covering this one? That was some big ass hail...

And bringing functional bling, how dare you!

Now that you mention it they do look nostrilish. I was liking the low profile idea, but not with a nose on my truck. Too clownish. Okay, so we're down to two. You're a bastard Rene, that was the cheap one.

Yes, insurance is paying for it. They cut me and the bank a check, but the bank won't release it until everything is fixed and they inspect it, or I give them a company name and quote, and they cut a check to the company. The downside of doing your own work. Which is fine, it makes convincing the wife I need this a little easier.

Sorry man, it could be worse though...I could have mentioned it after it was on your truck.

Oh, and if I had to pick a non stock hood I'd go with the third link. It's the only one that doesn't look 'overdone' IMO. Bear in mind i'm not a big fan of hoodscoops at all...on anything...especially a truck.

Yeah, I've been leaning towards that one too. They're also the only ones that have replied to my questions so far. I like customer service. Just waiting on the wife's opinion now, since she has the final say on what I do to the truck with the warranty... Blah.

im more of a cowl hood guy myself, but id buy the 2nd one for a lifted truck (more bulky), and the 3rd one for a truck thats stock height or lowered (more low profile). is it going on a stock or modified truck?

 

[Cowboy_80]

going on a stock truck. 4x4, XLT, 'supercab' (extended), 6' box, white paint.
