Thinkin about shaving my cowl. First would it cause any problems later on if i shave the vents off, but planning on leaving the wipers. Also has anyone done it that could give some advice.
Thanks
Cody

Isn't that how your heater, a/c (if applicable) and kick vents get thier air though?

Heater & A/C I don't think so but kick vents yes - I've removed my kick vents and routing my wiring harness through the drivers side. I will block off the rest of the vent.

A few months back, truckin mag featured a truck called "Color a Money" and that truck had a smoothed cowl. I thought it looked pretty cool!

Man your truck looks awesome, good work. I've got an old cowl that I'm going to try and shave now that I know it won't affect any future ac/heater issues.
Thanks
