Induction Hoods

I'm thinking of getting the Dominator Cowl Hood from www.usbody.com but I'm kind of skeptical about it.
Has anyone out here in F150 land got one?If so....
Was it easy to install?
Did it fit good?
Is it strong?
Notice much of a engine temp. drop?
Did you get more girls with it?

Aha! The truth comes out! You don't want a truck, you just want to get laid!

Wait, there's nothing wrong with that.

I can't help you with your question, but it reminds me of when I bought a '77 Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit duplicate, except it was silver). After I paid for it, and was getting ready to drive off the lot, the salesman looked at me and said I now owned the best pusssycar he'd ever seen. This got quite a reaction out of me because I thought he was referring to me for buying it. He quickly explained that he meant that it was a "chick magnet". He was right. Especially with the T-tops off. God, I miss that car.

Take care,
-Chris

Oh come on! The 86 Mustang GT w/ t-tops is the girls car!
I was told the 86GT was a girls car when I got, they were right. While going to Tech school, and married, I couldn't keep the girls away. My high school buds would've been droolin over these college girls. It wasn't me, it was the car!

I'll take a 77 Trans-Am too.

Sprocket,
It's worth the money.
Take my word for it....i beat the snot out of it....it's strong. At first i thought i was gonna get a hunk of sh*t (being that it's the only place around that makes it for our year trucks),but when it came to the shop i was happy with the product.
The only thing i didn't like was the induction cutout! There wasn't one......you have to make it yourself.
It wasn't hard........it's just when you pay that kind f money,ya figure it would be done already.
Hope this helps.
Jerry D.

Spocket,
It was easy as hell.
If you have any friends that are into body work,see if you could borrow them for a weekend.
You just gotta take your time....alittle cuting here and there.

Thanks again,I like my truck always being a little different then other f-series in my town I got the euro altezza tail-lights for it and so far I'm the only one that I know of in my town with them on my model f-series so that hood should just help top it off.


Thanks,
Justin


By the way nice truck dvldog,Youve got the perfect lift height on it.Looks great.

Jerry-

Wow! There's not much left that you could do to a truck that hasn't already been done to yours! Very impressed. My NOS injected Buick was the same way. By the time I was "done", it wasn't a Buick, it was a "Chris".

Anyway, that's a nice "Jerry" you have there! Do you have any pics of the interior?

Take care,
-Chris
