Talking Back in commision....with a NEW look!

Got my L back a few days ago. Also...got rid of the Saleen strips and added a new hood to match my colors (white/red). The hood is 1 of 5 made and is a composite material. Weighs 34lbs...(couple pounds heavier than stock). Underneath...it has a "heat extractor" that aids in pulling out the heat from the KB. I also painted the lightning bolt on my badges on each side red. Turned out good.

Not sure where the other 4 are. You would have to ask Razor1 (he is on this board). As for the heat extractor...it is working. You can literally see the heat exhaust venting while you drive.

The grill is a Trenz billet grill. Got it from SportTruckDirect.com.

NO....not at all. Except for the getting the darn thing to line up and fit properly. One bad thing about aftermarket hoods is the "fitment issue". But...other than that...love it.

I did weigh it at the body shop. Only weighs 4lbs more than stock. Not bad
