Any suggestions on what cowl hood to get?
Are there any in the $200-300 price range? Also my Yukon was vandalized recently thus it needs repainted. I want to get a new grille. The stock one is old and cracking on the top. Along with the grille I'd like new headlights and tail lights. Any suggestions??

Best thing you can do is search and see what you like. Personally, I like the "stock" look on vehicles. Removing moldings and badges, color matching and tinting. Best things you can do on a OBS are remove the moldings, colormatch and tint.

I do think a 2inch cowl hood looks good on some OBS trucks/suv's. Lights, I rocked ebay lights and DDM 8,000k and 5,000k HID's on my Tahoe with smoked corners and tinted factory tail lights. For your grill assembly, get either a good used one or a new OEM one. The replacement ones suck

If you want pictures, either search my photos on here or I can post some more up. I'm sure other members will chime in also

Get another oem and paint or keep chrome. Lights go ebay. Led tails and clear front lights maybe halps if you want then. The hood is under $300 on ebay. And i have 6000 hids on mine and the look and reflect good

He's got a Yukon. If he get's a GMC grill, a chrome one will look terrible. The chrome Chevy ones even look terrible I think at times. Colormatched is the way to go!

unknown at this time.
most quality 4in cowled hoods are at $400-550 delivered to door ready to be final prepped and painted. both keystone and keyparts are well accepted with the the reviews they do have.

I wouldnt go with a fiberglass hood... Steel is much better on a DD. Just saying because there are fiberglass and steel hoods out there. I would check LMC and get part numbers for what you want off there and then type the part number in google search. That will bring up any store that sells the part your searching for. Look for the cheapest.
