Yeah. Stronger hood struts are like $20 from Amazon. I bought them right away. This pic is a few months old. I removed the Bull bar and swapped the mirrors since, but I still like my hood!

Just turn signal mirrors off of a 2014 and I painted the caps to match.

Here's a pic with the hood, mirrors and I forgot I added the light bar...

Your truck looks good! How much were those lights if you don't mind me asking.

I would never get rid of my alum hood for a steel hood. Go to metalmeet.com and ask someone to make you an alum scoop that bolts on. It would be a better option.

Alum is light and doesn't rust! Go to the website and have someone make a scoop out of alum for u

Mine was fiberglass. It was three layers and functional. It wouldn't flex until about 120mph

Thanks for the compliment.

If you are talking about the headlights, they are a retrofit. theretrofitsource.com is your friend!!

If you are talking about the light bar, it was from Amazon and under $30.
