Also Ive always wanted a shaker hood, but I want an agressive one. Kinda like the Mach 1, where the shaker is one a good size bump in the middle of the hood not just the normal flat stocl hood. IS this possible?

Cost
Shaker hood is not based off anything. It's a full fiberglass piece.
Weight is about 3 lbs more than a stock aluminium hood.
They are expensive because it's a huge chunck of Fiber and it's very low production.
Besides. It will cost you at LEAST $500 to paint it... a new hood is never a cheap endeavor.

The shaker is just a tad bit smaller than the Mach1 hood.
The grill is an 03 HD.
You're right on the money Coldie. I paid 550.00 for prep/paint/install.

You can either spend 350.00 buying one from ford or
buy a used from somebody off one of the HD boards.
