Gang,

Fellow Lightning owner L_Acious stopped by this afternoon with Autometer gauge issues. grrr

Anyhoo, he had a Boss 5.4 hood installed on his Blue 02.

The hood is made by the same company that makes our OEM fitment. Very nice!

The pics speak for themselves.






SMILE!

 

Very nice!

 

Should be a hot seller if the price is right. Buy the way , what is the price and part number from Ford?

 

Very Funny!, Ive never seen a Blue Lightning ta date look the right color on the net.

In real life they are VERY DARK!! Nice hood though

 

Thanks for posting the pics Sir Speedin!
Thanks also for the help with the gauges....

I really like this hood, and the fit is outstanding. It will be fully functional before long....

Speedin Bob:

What do you mean by:

The hood is made by the same company that makes our OEM fitment.

This is an aftermarket hood, made by the same company that makes the F150 hood for Ford. It has NO Ford part number. It is available only through LA WEST conversion company. I got this hood as a very special favor from the owner of the SVT dealership where I purchased my Blu '02. I believe that the hood is now available through LA WEST at around $1000 + shippiing. It comes painted flat black. The fit and workmanship are flawless, and yes, the hood is all metal and very light.

They better lower the price cause every other hood out there is about 1/2 the cost of that one. It is a good looking hood, but it ain't made out of gold.

 

It looks kinda like the Rflexxions steel cobra-cowl hood. Is is stell or fglass?

I bet people get out of your way when they see those snarling nostrals in there rear view mirror.

 

I'm looking for an aftermarket hood but that a little steep for me.. It looks good though...

I went and took a good look at a Boss 5.4 on the lot when I was looking for a hood. I called LA west and got some stupid women that couldn't answer my questions about the hood. I ended up calling stylin concepts out of Independance, Ohio. They have the Reflexxions Cobra hood, which I would swear is the same as the one on the Boss. Mine is getting ready to be painted right now. I will post pics when it is done. The price was $400 plus shipping and it is a steel hood.

 

L_Acious:

I think you have been misinformed.

I just so happen to work at the FORD plant that makes the all aluminum hood for every F150 out there.

As a matter of fact, thats what we were making today on overtime.

Struckby99,

Do you make the Boss 5.4 Hood ? / or is it Steel?

The only hood we make for the f150 is all aluminum -----not the Boss hood.

When is come out in final assembly, that thing is as light as a feather.
