I found a guy near me about 70 miles away, that fabbed a mold for my hood and bumper, i built this hood with a buddy of mine a little over 12 years ago and love it, so this hood is based on what i like and think looks good on these trucks.

My steal hood, hindges, springs and mounting hardware weighs 110 pounds, the new hood which he made od a mixture of carbon and glass weighs 28 pounds and will be held on with zues .

Here is a cpl pics of the hood and bumper. let me know what you guys think. Name of the place is Kantola Composites and is based out of Coca Lolla lake Idaho, his name is Arne and is a fantastic guy to deal with. phone is 208-290-2130

Re: Sweet body parts

I bet that we aren't going to like the price tag....... Looks bad a$$

Re: Sweet body parts

he said it cost him 2gs

Re: Sweet body parts

Yes that is true, but that was the cost of making the molds and the first parts. Any future parts will be considerably less ($650-$750 IIRC). I believe he said that they are going to be producing bolt on hoods as well.
