a new hood is coming too, but the bug deflector hides the damage for now.

Looks great! I have the same Harley grille, but went with Lightning heads and corners. I still need a hood too, looking at the split cowl hood...

Looks killer! I'd have to say that has to be my favorite accident!

I think you should PTM your top bumper pad and lower valence black like the rest of your truck. Then your front end would be complete!

Thanks

Thanks Guys...Can't use the clear bulbs in the corner...they're already not DOT certified, i'll get a ticket for sure with a clear bulb...

I'm looking at the split cowl hood too, from fbirides.com....pretty good price at $250, but they're out of stock, they come in from China on a freighter....they said a month out about 2 weeks ago.....

I also just got some 325/60/18 MT ATZ's and have the new Mamba M2's from Tire rack on order...then i'm done for a while

...I always say that....

Yup, that's the same hood i want! Didn't know it was on back-order though. Someone else carries them, can't recall who it is.. Love that hood! Going to put on a Lighting bumper cover also..

Looks quite nice. I would also suggest PTM the upper bumper pad & your fender flares since you dont have any two tone. The valance looks quite decent as is though. Too bad you didn't hit it a bit harder, you could have got the Harley Valance or a Lightning bumper, or Lightning knock off valance.

if the link works for this picture...you'll see that i did break the lower valance, and got money to buy a new one....buy couldn't decide on what to get, so i just glued the stocker back together, its split by the passenger sided tow hook, and you really can't see it. I like the PIAA valance, but its discontinued, I like the Harley, but can't afford a real one, and haven't really seen many good photos of the aftermarket ones. If i decide to get a replacement, it will probably get black paint along with the pad and wheel mouldings.

well again to refer you to my picture, but this is the "STX" package valence



You can run it with your tow hooks, but would need to drop them about 1/2" to clear the valence

Where did you guys get that Harley grille? I've been looking for one for a long time. I can never find that 7 bar one.

Thanks Patman...I like that valance, but wasn't sure about the tow hooks, and the version I say was fiberglass.....I'd rather stick with something flexible...but still thinking about it.

I got lucky with my grill, it is a real HD one, but the guy selling it just had it listed as from a 2002 F150, not knowing it was worth WAY more as a Harley grill. Had to have it painted, because it was the dark gery color...but totally worth it.
