03 I don't like HD hoods at all they just look like a swollen nose. But yours seems to not be so ridiculously swollen and looks good in my opinion. Is it the pictures you posted or is yours not as tall as most?

It looks stock to me, as it would be too much work to do rhinoplasty on a hood, just to make it more like the stock hood you just took off.

Ok makes sense. Sometimes the dark colors minimize the big body lines so I wasn't sure if it was stock or just looked close to it.

I see so many people with it and don't understand the look, doesn't look "strong, or powerfull" to me. Your truck but I say leave it as is.

Kooks-It looks stock to me, as it would be too much work to do rhinoplasty on a hood, just to make it more like the stock hood you just took off.

People do all sorts of small mods that take hours or work to improve the look of a stock or custom part. So in my opinion it would be well worth it to cut the swollen hood about in half so it has some aggression but not the stock look. Or add a small bit of height to the stock hood.
My question was more that do some years look different, and better in my opinion, by not being so tall.

I understand that some people would do it, I'm just saying it's more work than most would ever put into a hood that most people like as it is.

I understand. I bet chip foose would do it! At that is the deciding factor in my book.

The first part is an honest statement, the second part is a joke.
