Default New hood and front end

Bought this truck with some pretty decent hail damage on the hood and front fenders. Front bumper was tweaked and the valance was hanging. Had a buddy of mine get me a hood, bumper and valence and spend a little time in the paint booth with it. Cut some holes in the valence for the intercooler, think it turned out ok. Still have to get some black mirrors, going to lower the truck 2-3" also. Tell me what you think!

Here is a before:

After:

I agree, sand the mirror caps and paint them as well
and personally I'd go with some different wheels

The hood is steel, it's a goodmark hood. Paid 419 shipped for it, pm me for the link. I am going to paint the mirrors, and looking for a set of 18 black wheels, something clean and reasonably light weight. Thanks for the compliments

That truck looks great. Did you buy it with all those mods?

I'd be interested in seeing that link for the hood as well.

No, bought it bone stock with a tired 5.3/60e combo that was on it's last leg. Took the turbo stuff off my crew cab v-max truck and put on this one. I'm currently building a forged 365 with lots of good parts. Hoping for a reliable 10 sec street truck.
