I am in the midst of 3 fiberglass projects in my other car right now, and the site is extremely helpful.

hood

No its not functional but can be made functional easily by cutting out the holes and some under it too. They designed it that way, I just have not done it yet. It is fiberglass and cost close to $700.00 and you get back $100.00 with a mail in rebate. so $600.00. I wanted to get a functional one but in this style and this was the only company I found that made it for this year truck.

i would almost suggest for you to build a console out of MDF or plywood and lay some fiberglass over it. will be alot sturdier in the long run.
