Got the cowl hood painted and mounted... pics!

Man I love this hood. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to. The style compliments the truck, it gives an aggressive style and the fit and finish was incredible. I paid $340 for the hood and $200 to get it sprayed and installed. I was happy to pay the $200 bucks for the paint and install, because 3 guys worked on it for about an hour and got it PERFECT. The gaps are all right on. They had to pull it off and reinstall it 3 times. I couldn't be happier.

They sprayed it with the paint code that I gave them (GM White 5111), and even though the truck's paint is about 2 years older, the hood matches perfectly. Gotta love white.

I noticed the engine is running a little cooler, about 5 degrees or so. I have every intention of making a fully functional cold air intake utilizing the raised cowl. It won't be just for looks for long.

What ya think?
