Yeah, Boomer's look awesome! And I agree, it does look like more time went into them.

Thanks! You can actually buy a very similar hood for around $8-900 non-painted I believe. Just do a google search for 04-08 F150 APM Ram Air Hood.

I am looking for one for a 2014. I emailed Tuscany directly and got a response from their president/ceo stating they do not sell their parts separately

Ive seen a couple other hoods out there for 2014s but I havent liked them as much as I do the Tuscany. Stage3 sells a "Shelby style" hood but they do not have any pictures of the underside so I am hesitant to order that one

There are a few guys on this forum with 09+ trucks with the Shelby style hood and it looks really good. Murderisthegame is one of the guys.

More progress. Minor touch ups and some wet sanding to take place before clear coating.

Just finished the side markers. Should I keep or nix the 3 silver stripes?

I like the marker lights. Could live without the 3 stripes in my opinion. Good progress regardless though!

Thanks! And yeah...I'm probably going to black em out. I think with the paint scheme I had in mind for my shrouds, it would end up being too much silver.
