Here's my new hood. You should recognize the hood, but the grille is a genuine Chevrolet grille and I put in a chrome bowtie. Let me know if you want P/N's.

If any of you guys are looking to get one of these hoods, make sure you budget extra coin for finishing and prep work, because even if it comes out of the box looking great, it'll still need ALOT of work.

The hood and grille are courtesy of the hail storm here in central MN this summer.

The hood is not functional. so far the only intake i've found to work with the hood is the 6.0 engine intake.

I ordered mine from the second one. They were alright, a little bit of a delay in shipping, but they were alright. I ordered some handles from them and they came right away.

Wow,How odd, I was looking at that hood yesterday online, I think, Is it a keystone? Fiberglass / Steel reinforced?I have the 8.1, the cool motor, any they told me it's a functional ram air system, that the air is directed over to the top area of the intake.......I love the look, I think it's great, but I like my grill better, IMHO. Maybe I'm a little biased? I've always thought the factory ones look like honeycomb. I was dangerously close to ordering that truck you have back in '03......I can only imagine how that truck of yours moves through the air.Where in MN are you? I'm from Prior Lake orig and now reside in Crosslake, but doing some time in Baghdad.
