I don't see any real structural damage other than the core support, so that is good news.

 

yea Todd (guy working on my truck) wasnt there when i took pics, guess he was out on lunch, but he talked about there might be damage below where the hinge mounts. He said the hood gets pushed back into the truck, and that mounting point tends to push down. Its hard to tell from what i was looking at if it was damaged or not, since i dont know what it is supposed to look like to begin with......

Core support is getting replaced.

 

I think the STX valance looks great.

The black IMO would'nt good with all chrome rims..

 

anyone else notice that the number assigned to my truck was 146? As in one 4.6

The more i look at the pics the less i want to do a black hood

 

I like it all silver with a hint of chrome like you had.

 

Sorry to hear about your accident and glad to hear youre ok....

I've had my share of accidents and they arent fun

I say leave it silver with a ptm bumper and the harley valence.

 

Hey Pat, make sure they jamb the new parts real good...

lots of shops will skimp on the jambing and it will look tacky

 

I'm partial to the 2000 harley valance.

 

I second painting the bumper

 

hey pat, maybe just a black pin stripe on the hood

like this truck with the colors reversed

Not feeling it. I saw a new corvette in silver, that had the center of the hood done in a medium grey, looked pretty good. Too busy to photoshop it tho.

I really think im just gonna stick with all silver.

 

maybe dark shadow grey on the hood would fit the truck better. I've had my truck for 3 years now and the silver gets boring. you can always try vinyl and tear it off if you get tired of it.

 

Good point! They can do some pretty amazing stuff with Vinyl and it doesn't have to be permanent

 

I didn't get hooked on the black hood until that guy who did a lighting motor swap just down the road from me installed a black hood on his white 4x4. It wasn't just the fact it was black. - It was a different style hood. I can't find the pic darnet!! But I think it had two little scoop deals. It really looked good tho.

 

i'd stay all silver...and the STX valance looks best IMHO
