thanks. I have a few dollars in suspension work lol. the hood is fiberglass gt500 replica hood. I got it for like 800. only thing that sucks about it, is when you're rolling over 70mph the hood starts flexing bc its fully functional. I still need to get hood pins for it

No chance of it getting messed up tho huh? I will be taking my truck on an 1800 mile road trip after I get the hood on where speed limits are around 85

Yes, I had to run 1/4" spacers up front. It's almost funny how close the clearance is on the UCA. It still rubs at full lock but it ain't no big deal.

I tried 1/4" spacers when I did mine, it didn't help much at all. I'm running a 1.5" spacer now. Your truck looks awesome bud!

I have a tuxedo black grill shell sitting around that you could just have and get re-painted. So if you're ever in College Station or Houston, let me know.

My stayed on and I was trying to make it come loose so I could get a carbon fiber hood lol. just make sure its nice and tight. it flexes at the hinges so long as the front is secure you'll be good
