What do you think of this cowl hood?

This hood is a little different from what I have seen and cheaper since it's free shipping. It's more round in the front. What do you think.

There's this one as well.

Re: What do you think of this cowl hood?

i think the rounder scoops look a little weird on these trucks because of how square they are. but I like the first one better because I dont think that little scoop on the front of the second is functional.

Re: What do you think of this cowl hood?

For either of the 2 trucks above what gauge do you think it is. Does it seem very rigid and not cheap. They both look pretty cool.

Re: What do you think of this cowl hood?

I'd go for the second one with the ram air scoop in front looks much better to me.

Re: What do you think of this cowl hood?

It's been awhile since I had that truck, but it was a Goodmark hood. Was tough, no flex to it. We've got another one on an old truck at Dad's place, had a semi grain trailer backed into it, and it dented it enough to make it ugly, but still opens and closes fine.
