Getting it to fit, then on to the other side, then making the lip inside the edge.. Next will get the back corners to fit..


One thing I am not a fan of.. The denali lights stick out about 1/4 to 3/8 further then the stock sierra lights, inturn makes them look bulged out.. Maybe I am just picky, but I guess I will have to let it grow on me or go back to the stock lights..

Overall I am liking the look for sure, just some minor things that bug me.. who knows might get creative, make some type of lip that brings the bottom edge of the hood out.. Aight, beer break is over fuggers, back to cutting..

Yes it does, a few small differences over the gmc hood, but the lines and contours are the same..

Ok done for the day, got the hood fitting nice, caught a good buzz too Tom I will start on the final edge, trim work around the head lights.. Then off to rounding the back corners to match my fenders nicer then now, then fix the 8 little dings on the top of the hood, paint.. So far so good, just have to take your time, have a half *** concept of wth your your doing. I was actually thinking of putting 2 small vents in the hood in the front, about a 1'' or so tall by a foot long, but duno..



Here is the part(s) you have to cut back under the hood. I will weld them back to the hood later on..
