yeah--I've done everything from designing toys to collateral and package design for General Electric, but the cars and bikes thing is a lot of fun and
I enjoy getting away from the more corporate stuff. I grew up around Harleys so I like to tinker.

Funny you say that--I've been waiting to get rims until my stocks ran down to the stub (wife made me wait--she's the practical one). And once I got those about a month and a half ago and joined THIS WEBSITE I just went freakin' crazy
. there are great ideas and suggestions submitted on here.
I thought I was done with the bull and the PIAA's, but as mentioned, my bud said he had a hood in his shop and figured I would take a peek...fast forward 2 and a half weeks later and the hood is on. I couldn't pass it up! I was afraid it would make the truck look too busy in the front but I like it some people won't.

and your truck looks great! that hood would look nice on white
is that the stock hood off of an FTX? kind of looks the same. and i think i've told you this before, but the color of your truck is a close second to white...it looks amazing!

The bulbs are Vision-X for both headlights and foglights--I got them from modbargains.com ask for Alon he's a member here as well.
The PIAA's are 520 driving lights-I used to have all this info in my sig but for some reason it won't allow me to post anymore.
Thanks for the compliments. White is one of my top choices for paint. Hood is Tuscany or Ram Air.

I don't know what to say except thank you for all that.
As for the internship THAT IS GREAT! it will be great experience.
As in many fields you have to pay your dues--it sounds like you have a great attitude to learn and it will pay off!
A picture of my hood?
Tell Kip you saw this posted, he'll get a kick out of it. BTW the truck hood was turned down by his brother--he said he wants it back once he saw it on.

Sheesh I had one of those days today couldn't even see that one comin'. I have to tell you all-- that visiting this site is therapy sometimes to get away from the day-to-day stuff and read everyones input and give what little I know.
Thanks again for all the comments...and therapy.

If you're getting the High Flow Filter with the hood, you'll have to let me know how it affects performance. I've been thinking of getting a cold air intake, but if I ended up with this hood, it wouldn't make much sense to.
Also, do you have any pics of the hood from the side? If so, I'd be interested in seeing them.
Thanks!

I dont know how I missed this thread before! That hood looks awesome on your truck.
I'd recommend going with an AF1 or other open element filter over that one, it would probably be great for a street truck, but I wouldnt want to even drive in the rain with that filter
