Well I know what hood I like but that is not what this poll is about. My vote is for the HD Hood because it will compliment the look you are going for. HD Hood all the way!

and think maybe it would look good doing the whole HD front end conversion.

DO IT!!! All you got to do is cut off the frame horns and re-weld them an 1-1/4" lower and I think you have to trim a little off the radiator trim behind the grille. The only parts you need is: HD Grille, HD bumper cap, and HD hood.

That's what I thought.. lol why would you put the HD front end without the hood? Back to your hood Cody, I voted HD hood, on the 99-02 trucks, the look the best IMHO.

I chose the SS hood. It is rare and I like it the best. The HD hood would probably look the best if you did the whole HD conversion but, then it wouldn't be noticed for anything different than a stock HD truck.

Like this one here you can notice it pretty easy.........except no HD hood.


That really is a tough decision. All 3 look good. Good luck with whichever you choose.

All good choices, but my vote goes to the Goodmark cowl, that's what I hope to get someday.

Im torn as to whether I really want to be noticed or not too. Trucks that get noticed are cool but they also get noticed by thieves and since the drivetrain in my truck alone is worth twice what my truck blue books for it makes me wonder if being noticed is really what I want. Thats why I posted this up, Im almost positive it will be the ss hood or the HD hood, the cowl hood is pretty played out but then again on the street you really dont see many with that hood. Just like the stingray III wheels, it seems like everyone on here has them but how often do you see them on the road? I never do. I kinda like the idea of the SS hood with the HD grille and bumper setup. I dont know know, Im indecisive as usual

You dont see the stick on scoops very often either, You should get these. FOR REAL!

Then nobody will break into your truck. They will know you are a tasteless ******* for putting those on your hood and figure there is probably nothing good in your truck to steal.

Hd hoods are ugly in my opinion. They look like the front end has been smashed flat. Go with the cowl hood.
