I'll get some pics up this afternoon. I had the shop where i used to work do the hood for me. They actually had to do some grinding and welding down the side to make the gaps better.

On a side note, i was a little disappointed that the smooth vents were not plastic.

They are urethane. Took 6 coats of base just to cover them, look good now though.

LMAO Jonas :jester: jokester. Aww, I see, diverting attention away cause you're gonna BITE his style now:licklips:

Those pillars look good nmsyukon. The nice thing about the urethane is, they will take much more abuse before damaging. When I had my stocks color matched, they got hit one time (damn neighborhood kids, lol) and the paint started cracking. I have had these smoothies for awhile now, and they hold up much better. But yes, painting is more a PITA.

Hey Austin, do you have any close up pics of the roof? I swear my roof looks dented in right where the rack is bolted down in front.
